    @Skeetz: Hey, Skeetz, you edited your comment after I'd already replied! Hmm...

    So, what Skeetz had more or less said was:
    It still works, doesn't it?

    To which I so wittily replied:
    Sure, about as well as the AT&T 3G network. :p

    @bosskev: OMG you're right.. they took strikethrough away! I JUST used it the other day.

    R.I.P Strike, old friend.

    In all seriousnessessity though I hope they're just workin out the kinks and we'll see it all again.

    These are made by a good friend of mine! She made me some "Portal" themed ones that I have on my desk right now, they're totally fun little trinkets.

    @Skeetz: Yeah, the new "image" button is there, but it OFTEN messes up the photo, cropping it randomly (and screwing up whatever joke/point you may have been trying to make).

    I still have extremely high hopes that the ability to use the basic HTML tags we had before—c'mon, Giz!—is given back to us. I mean, those of us who knew how to use them generally did so respectfully to communicate an idea or create a comedic effect otherwise not possible. And those of us who did not (or would not) do so respectfully, well, that's what the BANHAMMER is for.

    PLEASE give us back these HTML tags:
    blockquote
    horizontal rule
    strikethrough
    image embedding

    And, for that matter, also please give us back the ability to (easily) reply to two or more commenters in a single reply.

    @admoseremic: I'm afraid fart app icons are appropriate almost everywhere.

    @admoseremic: I think that would describe most offices where males significantly outnumber females ^_^

    They should come coated in maple syrup to create a truly authentic replication of the iPhone's sticky, glitchy interface.

    Is there a new [img] tag format now?

    I will tell them my famous one-liner : "Sucks... Doesn't it?" Then attach their pink slip to one of the paper clips and tell them to go on their way. >:D

    @Jakooboo the Great!: yeah cmon.. its a half-bear half-duck.

  • Kaiser-Machead

    In our office, a few fart app icon paperclips would be pretty appropriate.

  • bosskev

    What will I tell them? "See memo attached."

  • Jakooboo the Great!

    So, you're telling me I can use paper again and pretend I am on my iPhone with useless paperclips marketed by a naked duck?

    If you could hold things together like these paper clips, maybe we would have not fired you.
