I was just noticing this a few minutes ago, then @Somewhere_In_The_Clouds said something about it. When you type PFM, it's not automatically inserting the link. I had to find the article that it usually links to share with someone.
Edit: It worked here, but not on the thread I was on.

This has been an issue for me for awhile now and I've mentioned it before, but I assumed it'd eventually go away. When I click on a screenshot to upload onto my post, it doesn't load. I'll click on it two to three times and eventually it'll be on my post, but it'll look like it's loading and...

Most times I can easily tell the gender of a chick, and on most I'm determining what they are as early as a few days old. The issue for me is my guesses tend to stick with me and on favorites I don't want to think I'm wrong even though I have a strong feeling or fear that I am. I'm seeking a...
