Hiya Kable
Nice that you still pop in, it's always good to see an old face around. Hope all is well for you

Loving it, it makes linking so much easier.
You're 100% correct about when there is no scrollbar, the issue was the same either way. It's an issue that has existed for quite some time, my original fix (from 2 or more years ago) didn't apply to more recent additions such as img and link tags. I'm at a loss as to why the qfc tag also played up but it's all sorted now, until next forum update

Hiya Singularity,
I haven't been able to reproduce what you describe. But I remember someone else solved a similar problem by toggling the setting Use RS Linkify embedding for imgur BB tags.

You need to save and then refresh a forum page (preferably a page with click to reveal images) after changing the setting. Not sure if it'll help but its worth a try. In the meantime I'll look deeper into it

Glad we made some progress
It should work either way after toggling it on and then off again.
I think (hope) you can put the setting back to unchecked and it may work with "click to reveal" now. This worked for the only other case I heard of.

Hiya, hope you're doing alright
I started a short web design course a few days ago, and one of the guys hosting it, I forget why he brought it up, but he said "a lazy coder is a good coder" and that he cuts corners wherever possible, and I was wondering what your stance on the matter is?

Hiya Amaethwr
That's so cool you're doing a short web design course.
I don't think it matters what you do, I believe in doing the best you can. Your work will always reflect your effort to some degree. Believe me, you'd be amazed how many talented people look over your code.
It doesn't matter if I'm coding or cooking (I have qualifications in I.T. and Hospitality) I don't do second best, ever!
As time passes I look back over my work and think "Wow, I can do so much better now" , or sometimes I think "What on earth was I thinking?" Whatever I feel, I know I did my best at the time. If I can do better it's not because I was lazy, but because I know so much more now.
Looking backcan go one of two ways. You'll either see how much you've learnt since, or it'lll show how slack you've been.
As for breaking the rules (coding conventions, practices, and methods). If you understand the rules, it can be okay to break them. However that has nothing to do with laziness and is more to do with finding non-conventional solutions (can be lots of fun).
I believe laziness comes at a cost to self esteem, readability, quality, flexibility, stability, satisfaction, troubleshooting, and so much more.
One final thing I will say, time is money. Many employers want code churned out asap. Thus cutting corners to meet a deadline is not only commonplace but often quite acceptable. Most devs are under pressure to deliver within a limited time frame, that's where things tend to get messy. It depends what conditions you're working under.
There is a demand for this sort of thing (quick and dirty code) and even though it may not be satisfying to write, it could be what allows you to hold down a job. So I guess it makes sense for that to be taught. I think there needs to be a focus on quality too, not just quick results.
My stance (2b || !2b) lazy? Meh, just have fun with it...
Dream it, code it

Wise words, thanks

This makes sense.. I get the feeling I'd (try to) do stuff as 'properly' as possible, make it all very clean and clear
I suppose I'd learn how to do some things quicker without reducing the quality of it all anyway, given time
I've got another week of this introductory course, then they'll look into helping with further training and employment as well.. I didn't really picture myself doing this, it was suggested to me and I just gave it a go (free, why not
)

Any chance of a Linkify cookbook? Merge your skills and get the book to cook
