Yes I noticed it after it came back. This board could use a smarter script with not only links allowed, but some chess specific enhancements, such as turning the popular position specifications formats into diagrams (or links to diagrams), allowing online replay of PGN game, etc. Special editor tokens could be used for entering manually the board and the pieces which automatically turn into a diagram. Search feature, at least by author, if not the title and text keywords, would be useful, too, not only for the current messages but the entire archive. The downloadable archive sould have the thread granularity (one thread in one file), not the message granularity. There is lots of valuable info stored in these archives , but like a library without an index and with books ordered by the date library purchased the book (or some other as useless criteria), much of it goes to waste and, over time, this discourages higher quality posts, replacing them by the chat-room quality writing (like this one).
