      That sounds about right, Cass. Now, how can we get her and Aaron active here?

        Here are the two loaves just before baking:
        Before baking

        Here they are after baking. My wife's comment: Not my best work. I agree, I think I 'dropped a stitch' on one of the upper layers, too. I think they'll taste just fine, though.

        After Baking

        Here's a closer shot of one loaf with a ruler to show size:

        I left a post over on Zen's site saying there were pix here.

        I can't remember the name of the other participant in that thread, she and Aaron exchanged several interesting notes on Challah traditions and lore.

          Is this the recipe you're looking at:

          Ron's Irish Porridge Bread

          According to KAF, the ingredients in their Whole-Grain Bread Improver are:
          vital wheat gluten, low fat soy flour, inactive yeast and ascorbic acid.

          I'm not sure what the inactive yeast is there for, flavor I guess. I wonder if brewer's yeast would accomplish the same thing?

            I'm not sure exactly what you did, Sarah, but if I look at it as the sysadmin, I see -DEL- tags rather than -IMG- tags. That would also explain the strike-throughs.

            Below is what happens if I use the -img- tag at the top of the text box. (This requires having the image stored on a server accessible on the Internet, of course. If you want to upload the image to this server, you need to use the attachments link at the bottom of the page.)

            And here's your image in an -IMG- tag:

              I think the reason it's coming up as an attachment rather than a small version of your picture is that what you posted is a docx (Word) file, not a graphic (JPG, GIF, etc.)

              It's probably has to do with how you web-scraped it from KAF, which means you'll need an extra step or two to get it to upload as an image.

              Another thing I just discovered is that only logged-in users can see attachments, whereas -IMG- links work for anyone.

                I believe you have to upload the pictures separately using the 'attachments' area below the text box.

                  I'd have to see the actual email, including headers, to be sure it came from Yahoo, but assuming it did come from Yahoo, I don't think confirming the unsubscribe will make things any worse and might result in some relief.

                  What I think about Cindy's situation isn't printable here.

                    I will try to find time to post updated counts of 'recipes by' in a few days.

                    I may also post counts of 'recipes posted by', too.

                    I've modified the member profile page to give a breakdown of recipes posted by that member separate from the topics started count. (As of when I wrote this note, for example, Rottiedogs has 124 recipes posted, BakerAunt has 155 and Sarah Wirth has 326.)

                      Now you see why I will not have anything to do with yahoo groups! I'd recommend doing the unsubscribe, but I won't guarantee it gets rid of the spam. I've been trying to get off one specific yahoo group (that I never subscribed to!) for years, and there's another one I get email from every now and then that I never joined, either. (In both cases, I believe I was added by the group manager WITHOUT MY CONSENT.)

                      There's supposed to be an 'unsubscribe from all yahoo groups' option, but I'm not sure it has ever worked.

                      Sorry to hear about Cindy.

                        Something to think about: I saw some links in some of the 'Old BC Threads' posts that have links to recipes that were on the KAF BC. (For example in the Texas Sheet Cake thread.)

                        If the recipes being referred to get uploaded here, we may want to change those links at some point. But at least they go to a valid KAF page that talks about the transition rather than generate a 404 (page not found) error.

                          It's easier and faster for me to just move them to the Recipes forum, so I did. Hopefully I got them all.

                            I fixed a few posts that had the attribution in the recipe but not in the title.

                              Yup, that's the one!

                                It was probably timing out, I had it set to allow editing for something like 10 days, so I set it to a very large number so posts are essentially editable forever.

                                In some online forums, allowing unlimited editing of posts leads to flame wars, but I don't honestly see that happening here.

                                  I just raised the edit limit to a very large number, so if that's what was keeping you from editing the topic title, you should be able to edit it now.
