Hey ecksor, how about you make that script turn the word into a hyperlink for the dictionary.com representation of it.

Praetorian · 04-04-2003 9:49am

I think you should incorporate the current word of the day into the thread title. Is there a way to automate this process?

ecksor · 04-04-2003 11:40am

I haven't written any scripts yet. Time is not plentiful this week. Weekend hopefully if I get spare time from studying.

(but yes, your suggestions and a few ideas of my own are on their way).

Word of the day!
