Oh man, base code must be missing a simple "If...Then" statement!

Let me see if the main phpBB support forum has that on it too. If not then it's something I can fix!

LoL.

I have three thoughts:

- does PHP implement the ternary operator. (According to Siri is does(*))

- LISP’s format command has logic built infor this (and I know, because as a student I had to fucking implement “format” in all it’s complex glory for a ground-up reasearchy version of LISP.)

And I just noticed that I formed a misleading file name for that attached PNG file.

It should have been "Open Road Forum Struggles with Singulars.png".

(Seriously, though, thanks for building and maintaining such a wonderful forum for all of us cranky RL evacuees.)
