This is a Disastrous Loss! Some replies - occasionally lengthy and detailed posts full of helpful information painstakingly gathered, most times breathless rants about someone being wrong on the internet or a minor inconvenience or cultural faux pas - take time to craft. Gurus share their experiences, hopefuls document in triplicate all the dreams they wish someone else would fulfill, others work feverishly into the night transmuting opinion into fact.
And then $IT happens. All is lost! Time for bed.
Unless you are using New Forum, in which case you can continue where you left off. This incredibly helpful post was made using New Forum, in a simulation of the frustration a user of a forum other than New Forum might feel after mistakenly closing the wrong tab or a freak power outage.

This is a poll about breakfast, and sliced bread. ā This is what happens when you put a second spoiler blur into a spoiler blur.
- Sliced bread was the greatest invention of mankind to date.
- Sliced bread wasnāt that great of an idea.
- I have personally had ideas that were better than sliced bread.
- The fact that sliced bread exists improves the world.
- I am currently hungry.
- I am not currently hungry.
- I will go have breakfast now.
- I will be having breakfast soon.
- I have recently had breakfast.
- I will not be having breakfast any time soon.
- This poll is unnecessary.

I cast the Writing Hand:
The mailbox is now [spoiler]a
goat.
The goat seems to be angry for some reason (though we cannot be certain what that reason is). It is also armed.
We believe the goat may be the mastermind behind the hostile takeover of this thread, as evidenced by itās upset facial expression, itās heavily emphasized exclamation marks, and the fact that it is in possession of armaments. Until we can be certain what the goalās intentions are, and why it bears this thread such ill will, we recommend putting the spoiler blur back on and ignoring the goat.

I have nothing more to add on the topic of New Forum at this time, besides that I, too, endorse the use of New Forum, and would rate the likelihood of my recommending New Forum to a friend a solid 10/10.

Zenkai, the son of a samurai, journeyed to Edo and there became the retainer of a high official. He fell in love with the officialās wife and was discovered. In self-defense, he slew the official. Then he ran away with the wife.
Both of them later became thieves. But the woman was so greedy that Zenkai grew disgusted. Finally, leaving her, he journeyed far away to the province of Buzen, where he became a wandering mendicant.
To atone for his past, Zenkai resolved to accomplish some good deed in his lifetime. Knowing of a dangerous road over a cliff that had caused the death and injury of many persons, he resolved to cut a tunnel through the mountain there.
Begging food in the daytime, Zenkai worked at night digging his tunnel. When thirty years had gone by, the tunnel was 2,280 feet long, 20 feet high, and 30 feet wide.
Two years before the work was completed, the son of the official he had slain, who was a skillful swordsman, found Zenkai out and came to kill him in revenge.
āI will give you my life willingly,ā said Zenkai. āOnly let me finish this work. On the day it is completed, then you may kill me.ā
So the son awaited the day. Several months passed and Zendai kept on digging. The son grew tired of doing nothing and began to help with the digging. After he had helped for more than a year, he came to admire Zenkaiās strong will and character.
At last the tunnel was completed and the people could use it and travel in safety.
āNow cut off my head,ā said Zenkai. āMy work is done.ā
āHow can I cut off my own teacherās head?ā asked the younger man with tears in his eyes.

Ignore me. Not only am I not actually here - you are hallucinating me - but this is just another feeble test of the shockingly debased abilities of the Shabby Hyena Lunatic with regard the NEW New Forums that are even NEWER than the New Forums we tested before. Unless theyāre exactly the same but with some different bits stuck on.
Spot Ten Camels in this Imageā¦
So, having now mastered the oh-so-tricky ākeeping two windows open at onceā manoeuvre and accomplished the pathetically simplistic ādrag and dropā activity that a particularly stupid amoeba could have got done quicker than me, this concludes my rubbish testing thus far.
(PS:- There were actually NO Camels in the above picture).

We can only hope that this heralds a return of spleenshots to the internets of NWN.

Never mind Camels, Iām overloaded with Llamas on deviantArt. Random people keep giving me them and now one of them has morphed into a Super Llamaā¦ Damned things flying all over the place.

There seems to be an ever-increasing amount of invisible and/or polymorphing ungulates in this thread.
Suspicious: Most of us also have some manner of animal-themed username or avatar.
::gets out tinfoil hat::
- Goats can appear to be other things besides goats. (might be an overarching ungulate ability?)
- Llamas can polymorph. (might be an overarching ungulate ability?)
- Camels may be able to turn invisible (unconfirmed)? (might be an overarching ungulate ability?)
Conspiracy theory: What if we are the camels in PHoDās picture, pretending to be other animals? 
I know If I was a well-hidden camel intending to remain hidden, this is exactly the sort of elaborate scheme I would concoct to distract even myself from finding and identifying me. Plus, there have been five people posting in this thread so far, which, if we are each two camels who have combined into one Supercamel, would amount to exactly ten camels.

Sssssoo, you think you are clever to have uncovered my Mad Supervillainās Plot to turn you all into Camels, Llamas, Vicunas, Guanacos, Alpacas and/or assorted other such that are all members of the Camelidae more or less all of which will probably gob on you if you let themā¦ and goats, whichā¦ arenātā¦ but theyāre still Artiodactyl ungulates and smell nasty, so what the hell?
Ach! So, my plot to invade and conquer the world by means of Invisible Self-Recharging Gestalt MegaCamels comprising of up to ten people - or goats - has been revealedā¦ but you are too late! Nothing in the world can stop me now! If all ten - five - people on the post are now already invisible camels who cannot locate themselves, then I have already defeated theā¦ umā¦ hang onā¦ I am one of those five - ten - erā¦ Have I gone and turned myself into a camel by mistake again? AGAIN?!
Fifi! Fifi, help! Iāve Camelomized myself again!
(PS:- New Forums are still only in Test Mode - yet, already, with eerie abilities, PHoD has apparently instigated a completely, utterly pointless abuse and misuse of the software for totally spurious ends without even the slightest shred of purpose whatsoeverā¦ Shabby Hyena Object grins triumphantly.)
(But hides fangs and grins in an unbearably cute (if slightly mad) way, to avoid being chastised by sensible people and those working to install new, exciting Forum Software for proper, practical reasons and not for Loony Hyenas to go being pathologically strange).

Well, that sucks. Why is it that any time you catch on to some manner of ungulate conspiracy, itās already too late to do anything about it? 
::dejected:: I suppose Iāll just take the Mad Supervillainās word for it and not even try to foil this Morally Ambiguous Plot (does turning people into camels qualify as evil? It seems less classically evil than, say, murder. Although maybe turning your enemies into beasts of burden is crueler than simply killing them, especially if you proceed to use them as such. It has this whole āwarp somebodyās psyche and entire sense of selfā aspect that plain murder doesnāt have to have - at least not in settings where resurrecting people is a thing).
At least things can always get worse, so the narrative isnāt necessarily doomed:
LOOK AT THAT
IS THAT AUTOMATIC VIDEO EMBEDDING. 
I figured it out: We need to keep trying out new forum features. As long as we do that, nobody can claim this is only pointless spam.
Also, animals with fuzzy ears improve reality, and pictures of animals with fuzzy ears improve text-based communications, and should therefore by default be considered a worthwhile contribution to theā¦ ::snrk snrk:: ā¦ Discourse At Hand.

This is just a random post to test the new forums
Just another rubbish test, as the Shabby Hyena Thing realized heād been so busy dribbling on about non-camels heād forgotten to test different ways of appending links. Which are more importantā¦ unless youāre in the middle of a desert and require foul-tempered transport.

Hm. The Post Preview thing of that link, looked OK, so simple copy and paste seems to work, he said optimistically, continuing to display that utterly pointless trend of using bold and italic far too much for absolutely no reason since itās now been confirmed to work several hundred times overā¦ Though, I did just test whether you can make something bold and/or italic and then change your mind and reset, alter it, which you canā¦
https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/original-hakpak/phod-spleen-creatures-ii
And apparently just typing links in, without even having to bother sticking URL in brackets and stuff also seems to workā¦ Was going to test a couple of other methods, but if these work, Iām unlikely to need anything else. (I say āifā 'cause just going blue in a preview window doesnāt necessarily PROVE functionality unequivocally).
Oh, and hereās a genuine Spleenshot with an actual Spleen Creature in it, just for Thirdmouseā¦ there WAS a camel, but it got eatenā¦

Depends what youāre trying to strike throughā¦ If itās thick foliage, I recommend a machete, preferably manufactured by Tramontina (Brasil).

PPS:- If this post seems as utterly pointless to anyone else as it does to me, rest assured that it only exists as I was testing (again) because the New New New Forums appeared to have forgotten who I am and refused to recognize me - but itās alright, Iāve dealt with it. With a big brick. This post proves it.
