    I am getting a malware warning when I try and open the thread 'half-baked Republican fruit cakes' in A&A.

    The issue seems to be content from godlikeproductions.com.

    Thanks for reporting this guys, Google has declare memegenerator to be unsafe, so any images in threads which are hosted from memegenerator prevent the page from loading.

    We're now in the process of editing posts and snipping out the memegenerator images so you can read those threads again.

    Like many of the Google malware alerts, this will probably turn out to be a short term issue, and likely a false positive. Is it possible to have cdn.memegenerator.com added to the swear list? Would this be retroactive?

    Do you have a link to the thread? It is more than likely a memegenerator image - see above.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    It has been added to the swear filter but is not retroactive unfortunately.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
