I am questioning why there should be no way back as opposed to why there is no way back. 

 

Technology trumps philosophy in this case.....the forum engine was upgraded to a newer, supported version.   We could all go back to 300 baud dial-up modems too but probably should not do so. 

Economics trumps Virtue.

What does "trump" mean?

 

In this context....it is a verb meaning:

 

Quote

 

Surpass (something) by saying or doing something better.

‘if the fetus is human life, that trumps any argument about the freedom of the mother’
 

 

 

Economics trumps Virtue.

Better? 

OK.  Better for whom??

 

Better for support.  Better for mobile.  Better for security.  Better for social media.  Better for notices.  Better for (some) users.  

Economics trumps Virtue.

Works on MacBook as well. Thanks.

I discovered it when extremely frustrated with the inability to delete a quote and I was clicking every possible combination of key + delete possible.  

It was a triumphant moment.  lol

Are signatures gone?

  • Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

  • The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

Is there any way to enable identification of sources in quotes, i.e. [quotename='Toronto Star']?

Yes.  I just changed your username up above with the following code: 

<blockquote class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote="" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic" data-ipsquote-contentcommentid="1194379" data-ipsquote-contentid="26177" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-timestamp="1477444700" data-ipsquote-userid="1940" data-ipsquote-username="Toronto Star">

The relevent code is at the end of the block: 

 data-ipsquote-username="Toronto Star">
