Well, the potato was discovered by a French explorer in South America or something. But who cares.
The best French fries are to be found in Belgium, yeah. I used to live near the border and our region had a strong fry-oriented culture. In Paris there's nothing of interest. Their fries are tiny and bland... They're only edible when adding lots of salt.

I think it's related to the fact that there are new posts being sent! But it warrants further research...

Ah yes, I forget that feature all the time...
Okay, I'll just assume DirtRider clicked something by mistake, so I restored that post and unlocked the topic. Feel free to re-lock but please anyone doing it -- say why you did it ;)

Snails taste great with proper cooking. It's usually only served during holidays, things like that. I haven't eaten any in a few years. Frog legs, I must have tasted these many years ago, meh.
You know what we eat on a daily basis in France? Pasta, rice, French fries, pizzas, things like that. Anything more complicated is what you usually eat at French restaurants. It's pretty much like Japanese cuisine. Do you think they only eat sushis? Sushi bars are 'trendy' things in Japan, not many restaurants offer them. The actual Japanese cuisine is made up of noodles (ramen, soba, etc.), fried meat (yakitori, etc.) and delicious meals like the Katsudon. Oh my -- katsudon's. They're everywhere in Japan, and nowhere to be seen in Japanese restaurants in France. You have to get your ass moving to the French 'Little Tokyo' just to find half a dozen restaurants that actually provide proper Japanese food -- usually, this is where the Japanese actually go. The rest is just... A cultural thing.
Just like the French never wear berets, don't like mimes, and don't play the accordion all day. (Well, we do love our baguette though.)
I'm sure you guys in Argentina don't exclusively listen to tango music, either :P (I've only watched one movie that was set in Argentina -- Happy Together by Wong Kar Wai -- and it had a great soundtrack by Astor Piazzola, but I'm no fool, it's just an idealized version of Buenos Aires that was in the movie. Well, err... OTOH, it wasn't exactly "idealized"... But you get my point.)
@Pete> Not our fault if British cuisine isn't popular overseas beyond Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares show :niark:

When it comes to giving the ability to build custom pages, I'm trying to think of something that's not done in the WP3 fashion (i.e. letting admins create "MyCustomThing.custom-page-suffix.php"), mainly because of the MVC conflicts, but it's hard really. Why am I talking about that anyway?
parse_bbc() is, it's well known, the most cpu-intensive function in SMF/Wedge. There's not much we can do about it (apart from micro-optimizing, which isn't easy at all here). I tend to avoid SSI functions because they usually don't do things in the most optimal way for me -- namely, if they parse tags for a field I'm never going to show anyway, it isn't cool. But there isn't any solution ready for use right now. Maybe portal authors could share their thoughts about this...
But all in all, it's not something I feel I'm ready to tackle right now. My priority is on integrating the Media area anyway.

I only feel it logical to use because I've been doing so for years... But I'm still pissed off by the permission system each time I have to create a new board or membergroup. Of course, it doesn't happen so often, so I'm fine with it...

There are probably people who find it more comfortable than SMF, just like there are people who find the WordPress interface to be a genius thing... (Don't look at me, I read that in .Net Magazine! They're Jason Santa Maria fanboys, so that could explain it...)

I guess that since it's safe to assume they read these boards, they'll end up finding your link... :whistle:

If only they just went through the license change without actually waiting for the LLC->NPO transfer... There's really nothing preventing it.
