Just to let you know that I've tweaked the site a little. Now, instead of having all of Betty's news in one long thread, I've divided it up into separate stories.

I think this makes it easier for everyone to find the new news stories and comment on each story individually.

Like? Don't like? Can't see the difference? Couldn't care less?

Like, Katiedot, Like. Thanks.

Me like too Katie! I'm having a ball running through everything!! Exclamation

I've just updated the house rules, should anyone be interested. Finally made it to 10, which I think covers it!

Sorry for the random addition of Christmas/New Year's items. I'm playing around and it's mostly guesswork.

Will remove the burning candles from George's head just as soon as I figure out how to!

by Admin Fri 17 Dec 2010, 13:47

I've added a chatbox feature. The link to it is at the bottom of the homepage and when you click on it, it'll pop up in a new screen for you.

by sisieq Fri 17 Dec 2010, 19:45

Christmas decorations hanging up at the top is a nice touch and LOVE the snow!

BTW, next time you're thinking of changing colors, take a look at the 2 bells (green/copper). Those colors look nice together. However, don't know how readable the Forum would be. May not want to go that dark. Of course, those colors may not be available for you, either.

by Merlin Fri 17 Dec 2010, 21:06

Yes...snow outside and inside LOL.....

by Katiedot Tue 21 Dec 2010, 09:47

haha! Did anyone else notice that the 'snow' collects at the bottom of your screen before it melts? And it also falls in the direction of your mouse!

by melbert Wed 22 Dec 2010, 00:58

I don't have any snow today? Am I being left out? BooHoo!!!

by Merlin Wed 22 Dec 2010, 07:13

I can see some at the top of the page melbert....we've had 2 feet of it in some places....

Way too cute Merlin!!! I love you

Hi all

Just to let you know that I've been playing around again.

There's a few more options available when you click on 'post a reply' if you use the 'others' button:

Index lets you post in subscript (_{lower than usual, like this})

Exponent does something similar but ^{raises the text}like this

Spoiler of course lets you type something that people have to click on to read it.

Spoiler:

Hidden does knows what.

You can figure out horizontal scrolling
And vertical scrolling for yourselves

[rand]This is what they call [/rand]Random

And finally, this is [wow]wow[/wow], just wow

by Merlin Wed 05 Jan 2011, 15:08

by Merlin Wed 05 Jan 2011, 15:09

Hmmmm can you see that? Or can the poster see it but no one else but WHY would you use it LOL

by Admin Wed 05 Jan 2011, 15:12

Yeah, I think there's a few functions that aren't quite functioning!

One thing that IS working now is the friends/foes management. This nifty little feature allows you to ignore messages from people you don't want. You go to your profile (top of the page) and then click on the 'friends and foes' management tab. To ignore someone, add them to your foes list.

You can also friend posters, but this doesn't make any difference to the forum as far as I can see.

I don't understand any of this. Just booting up the computer and finding my way here is about all I can do. Have pity on those of us who are techno challenged.

Candles on George's head, snow ??? Can't see a thing. Laughing

Sorry, Atalante, but its all gone now that New Year's is here. It was pretty!!!

Here's a little something for you rendeer

by Katiedot Fri 07 Jan 2011, 13:30

Hehehehe! I've just added a whole bunch of emoticons (smileys) to the board.

by Merlin Fri 07 Jan 2011, 13:46

Thanks very cool....some of them look a bit rude though for young ladies like wot we are LOL

by it's me Fri 07 Jan 2011, 13:51

huh! magnifico! super cool

by Lighterside Fri 07 Jan 2011, 14:06

I LOVE some of those new emoticons Katie! They look like fun... Lies

Hahahah tooo cute some of them! The Matrix

@ Merlin...I absolutely KNEW you would go for this one when I saw it! Fabulous One for Merlin!

by Merlin Fri 07 Jan 2011, 15:28

My dragon wouldn't eat me though of course lol!

Hahaha very true but you wouldn't turn someone into that mean old ugly dragon either! You're the sweet lovable Merlin, not the mean ole Morgana! Wink

by PigLove Fri 07 Jan 2011, 22:10

I'm going to be a pooper and say that I despise animated emoticons. Partly because I swear they are going to give me a seizure one day, but mostly because they allow people to simply slap an emoticon up instead of using their WORDS.

Bah-humbug! Bricks

(Although they are good for defusing tension.)

So may I meekly beg that all of you supersmart, lovely, and articulate Clooneyfans show some restraint?

End of rant. Please go ahead and fill the page with spastic smileys to test my seizure theory. Smile

by it's me Fri 07 Jan 2011, 22:17

no

I'm Italian
sometimes Not worthy

emots help me a lot Give Flowers2

by sisieq Fri 07 Jan 2011, 22:17

Because words are flat the Very Happy

and

and

allows others to know what the poster is really trying to say.

Otherwise, the others are just for fun! cheers

You're NOT a party pooper!!! You have every right to your opinion!!! Hello!

BTW, I'm really getting use to Blonde George and really starting to like it. However, at his current age, don't think it would look good. IMHO

by it's me Fri 07 Jan 2011, 23:13

nono
no blonde George... please! Not worthy

by blubelle Fri 07 Jan 2011, 23:25

Am I the only one who thinks the jumping faces look like M&M's. I guess I need a chocolate fix.

by it's me Sat 08 Jan 2011, 01:15

this is my ! Razz

well... this is ME!!! Angry

by melbert Sat 08 Jan 2011, 01:16

PigLove, keep blond George and I'll try to refrain from so many smilies, because for once this week I see the words "supersmart, lovely, and articulate" Clooneyfans and I LIKE it! Of course, I hope I was included... cyclops

(oops - couldn't resist) lol!!!!!

by Katiedot Sat 08 Jan 2011, 02:54

I'm with Piglove. I don't mind the careful use of smileys in a message because they do add that je ne sais quoi, but I will go crazy if everyone uses them in every message

@It's me and @Vi: smileys are there to ADD to your words, not replace them. I will delete your smiley-only posts as they aren't contributing anything to the conversation.

by it's me Sat 08 Jan 2011, 09:57

"supersmart, lovely, and articulate"
who did say that?

ok Kat, ok Sad

(you put them then cut them.... you devil you....)

by Katiedot Sun 16 Jan 2011, 12:26

Hah! You'll all have noticed that I've created a new sub-forum for all of George's old romances. I thought it would make sense to keep all these women together in one place, but once I did it I thought it didn't make a great deal of difference and now it's done I can't be bothered to un-do it!

You'll also see that in the absence of real George news, I've dredged up a lot of old articles about his various flings. I thought they might amuse those who weren't around at the time and be a nostalgic trip down the 'thank goodness that's over' path for the rest of us.

by melbert Sun 16 Jan 2011, 13:51

Thanks Katie!

by Atalante Sun 16 Jan 2011, 16:27

George the fertiliser, he could have been a good irish ... farmer of ... albino

Thanks for working so hard to keep us entertained, Katie! Smile

by melbert Sun 16 Jan 2011, 23:15

Now, come on @It's Me, we've all known for a long time that George is full of "fertilizer"!!!

by it's me Sun 16 Jan 2011, 23:17

by Katiedot Sat 10 Sep 2011, 07:45

Just to let you know that I've de-activated signatures in this forum. It makes our posts really long and to be honest, I can live without blinking, flashing smileys and other stuff repeated endlessly on posts.

Avatars still exist so you can get creative there.

Also, to help stop spamming in this forum, new posters can't post any links for the first week in this forum.

by Katiedot Sun 25 Sep 2011, 16:14

I've just added a blog section but not sure how it's showing up for everyone. Please let me know what you think.

by cindigirl Sun 25 Sep 2011, 16:20

Hi Katie, I tried to comment in your new blog sectiion but it said I cannot. Also, my computer locked up for a few minutes I guess while you were adding your new blog. Back to normal now.

Thanks for all your hard work keeping this forum in good shape.

by Katiedot Sun 25 Sep 2011, 16:21

Yep, as I said in the blog I don't want anyone to coment on the blog. I'd like everyone to continue to comment in the forum as always.
