Images are nice and all but having to prepare filler images is such a pain in the ass. The real reason I use cover sizing in every conceivable image slot.

just popping in here really quickly to say that you actually can delete your own posts on jcink, it's just something that has to be set up in the admin panel for the member group. iirc, the default setting is that you cannot and it's likely that a lot of people don't realize that this can be changed - but you definitely can configure your jcink site so that your own posts can be deleted by you!

Isn't the default behavior for deleted posts to not actually get deleted, but moved to a trash board though? There's no way to see from the member side if something's scrapped for good or merely hidden in a staff-only board. Or is there?

From the perspective of a member and coder, things I like more about Proboards than Jcink:
- recent posts
- being able to delete my own posts
- urls are friendlier, don't need to memorize that whole &act=getCODE or whatever it is
- saving profile changes is faster because it doesn't require the whole page to reload
- accounts being linked to one master account across separate sites, for the sole reason that it's a nifty way of looking back at where I've been... As for how multi accounts work on one site, that's a different story

Things I like more about Jcink than Proboards
- everything else.

If we want to get specific:
- display names match usernamesโ€”which makes tagging so much easierโ€”and usernames can be changed
- custom ubbc codes
- dohtml. Dohtml. Dohtml
- how multi accounts are handledโ€”switching between them, pushing alerts to a parent one

More generally though, it doesn't seem like the best time to pick up Proboards when v6 is looming on the horizon and might cause you have to relearn skins and codes and everything.

TIL Yubaba's benevolent identical twin (emphasis on identical) came about because the animation director begged Miyazaki to stop adding new character designs. Found that really funny

went into this hour long video about how the worst movie I'd ever seen was even worse than I thought wondering who would possibly watch the whole hour. And you know what? It was absolutely riveting
