Gremlins are at work on SoulfulDetroit!
For some weird reason, using a

in titles to threads suddenly started creating an issue where clicking/tapping a thread title with a left parentheses mark fails to open the thread and instead leads to a page reading:
Forbidden
You do not have permission to access this document.
As a workaround, until we find the solution, we discovered that by using the forum software’s censoring function to ‘ban’ the left parenthesis mark we can cause it to be replaced with a double left square bracket [[. [But we can’t yet figure out how to make that a single bracket. Sheesh!]
So, if you wish to put words in parentheses, in thread titles or posts, use [square brackets] instead. If you forget and use a left parenthesis, it will automatically be overwritten with the double left bracket [[.
You will also notice that all instances where a left parentheses were used in past posts or thread titles are now replaced by double left brackets.
So, as our Brit friends might say…
