Pretty much all the public information about Jim's next DF book is contained in my review of it on goodreads
Peace Talks review
I've put just about everything public on the subsequent books and short works in my review of the book 17
Mirror Mirror review
There are a few updates I need to make on that one though.
Note: That information will be dated eventually. I'll try to rewrite this post when the next book is released to account for that. -Serack

However, if your new topic has a link in it, it /will/ require a mod to approve it. This helps prevent exposing our forum members to bots with malicious links.
I've posted a work-around for this issue, but I don't keep it in this topic to add a layer of insulation between it and the botters. I'll dig it up and PM you with it.

mmm, I posted something in a new thread, no links, but it didn't show up the first time I went back to that section, it appeared like five minutes later. Just wondering cause I'd never seen that happen.

That did happen more than once when I posted. Sometimes the 'hang' is only a minute, sometimes longer.
::) :-X ::)

Yah, unprompted mod action of 5 minutes or less would be an outlier methinks.

Ah, ok. There isn't a button, so here would be the steps I would recommend using.
* type out or copy/paste the members name (I'd copy/paste yours because I wouldn't want to go through the effort of typing out Harry BC Dresden backwards.
* Right click on a link to the member's profile (typically found to the left of one of their posts, but there are other places you can find one) and select "copy shortcut" or your browser's equivalent option
* Select the text of the name from step 1 and hit the "Insert Hyperlink" button which looks like a globe with a page on the bottom right*
* after the first "url" inserted by step 3, type "=" then paste the link from step 2 (Quickly done by mashing [ctrl]+[v] on your keyboard, but there are other ways to do it, like right clicking and stuff)
*I also frequently manually do step 3.
When done the resultant code should look like this:
--- Code: ---[url=http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php?action=profile;u=79774]nedserD C B yrraH[/url]
--- End code ---
Past experience is that sometimes when making explanations like this to someone who's interwebs proficiency I'm not familiar with means I can make assumptions about their prior knowledge without knowing it. This results in the explanation being jiberish to them, so let me know if the above works for you.

Thanks. I'm not good with coding. But your steps seem clear and replicable.
