The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What was posted on the old board-- Shrewd'm: MB --also leads to failure. Using just Shrewd'm: Shrewd'm: A Merry and Shrewd Investing Research and Education Community gets me to the board. I have my bookmark defaulted to board's Login Form: Shrewd'm: Enter the gates of Shrewd'm . (It appears the command is too long for the board to display all of it. Everything after the "=" is "displayLoginForm" , without the quotes marks.) It appears that what's changed at that point is the "command" following the question mark: now (I don't recall the original) it's "command=displayLoginForm" (also without the quote marks).

No idea why that change, but often (usually? I'm no HTML programmer, but I have troubleshot some of my bookmarks) the basic address is all the stuff up to the first question mark, and all the stuff after the first question mark is what you've defaulted your bookmark to do first at that site, or it carries to the site the origin of your link click, like the email containing the link you just clicked on.

I've emailed Manlobbi about the changed URL.
