Official A2K Gathering in Chicago, May 7th, 2006!

I have another suggestion. Add this link to the tag line.

Mebbe something like:




Anyone who wishes could copy the following code to Notepad or any other preferred text editor:



Then save it it to a convenient-to-find location like, say, in a folder on your Desktop or in your "My Documents" folder. Then, whenever you want to insert it into a post, just locate the saved code, copy it, and paste it into the reply box as part of your poss from time to time. As displayed above, I think its too many characters to fit in a signature box - haven't checked. However,

would fit in a signature box for sure - though overall character count restriction would impact any other text you might wanna have in your signature.

For the record, I'm down with the (Millenium) Park Grill.

I think code isn't allowed in signature lines anymore, though. As in, old stuff that hasn't been changed still works, but if you add the code now, it'll appear with the "urls" and such and not be clickable.

Can still have something about it, with "check the Announcements forum for details" or something.

The signatures were changed to disallow url tags. The code tags aren't necessarily the problem. But yes, in effect, you're right.

mac's signature info is very good:

Thanks, wandel. I stole it from timber and sozobe. Feel free to copy it.

Done - changed mine :wink:

ditto, but with modifications

That looks good!

(I'm pretty sure it's all code, smog, like [img] and [color] as well.)

Yeah, I think you're right. I think you might also be right about the terminology. I was talking about the [code] tags specifically, but it does occur to me now that they could be called that because they let you see all the "code" of all the other tags.

Ah, I see now what you meant.

Hey Chicago people, any recommendations on what to do beyond the main event?

When I go in a few weeks (IF I go), I'll be hitting:

The Field Museum (with Sue the ginormous T-Rex).

The Shedd Aquarium

and

The Brookfield Zoo

among other places.

The Museum of Science and Industry is all right and pretty easy to get to, driving, that is.

We've taken the L to the Museum of Science and Induistry several times, but that was in the early 70s. BTW, it's a great museum.

For art lovers, don't miss the Art Institute.

I think a lot of A2Kers would enjoy the Chicago Arts District in Pilsen.

Hey, timber, you're forgiven. Your computer skills are appreciated by many - including me!

Art Institute, Green Mill, Museum Campus, piers, Pilsen undergroung galleries ...

I'm a big fan of the Chicago Historical Society, but I don't know how it works as a destination. I've only used it for research.
