I can vouch for Magician both breaking Aeolus and for promising to fix it tonight. Until then, the PM button in the posts should work as zerospace pointed out, or you can change your skin to one of the . . . twelve others. Just for today. The ability to change it is in your profile.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
-I, Robot (Asimov)
There once was a little bot who loved to dream about living in a human world filled with social interaction and oxygen. One day he found a magical fairy who would grant him any wish he so desired. So of course he wished that he could join the human world and be just like his hero Bicentennial Man. POOF! The fairy waved her majik wand and the little bot noticed a doorway that he'd never seen before, a doorway out from his eternal prison. He opened the door, stepped through it and died. The End.
I fixed the skin. For some reason, that file WOULD NOT accept the redirect tag that works in the other 11 skins. I had to change the code to make the link buttons show again. Anyway...it's fixed. On to the next hack!!
