Whoa!

[ms_irreverent]

Hey Paperboy, warn me the next time you decide to change the site. :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: Nothing like having it completely altered between the time I start writing a message and when I hit submit! :shock:

Looks nice.

What are you talking about? I didn't change anything. You must have been transported to a parallel universe :shock: :shock:

[ms_irreverent]

Funny, you are.

[vinay]

what has changed ?

[ms_irreverent]

OK, this is not funny. I'm seeing a new color scheme; the phpbb logo at the top has been replaced with one that says "subVereor"; everyone's custom titles have been changed, and the list of links to the various sections of the site is different. I'd post a screen shot but I don't see a means of doing so. Have I been hijacked? :shock:

Oh boy, tomorrow is gonna be fun when everyone else logs back in!

For the record, I have made several changes to the Forum. Let's see if you all can figure them out! Ms I has pointed out 4 changes so far.

O:)

[ms_irreverent]

Well, thank goodness I'm not completely crazy. That is definitely one of the stranger online experiences I've ever had. (Dating notwithstanding.)

We no longer have the "you have no new private messages" (or "you have 1 new private message") link.

Not sure why this is affected, but when I right click my back button, the page showing (the new posts) search no longer appears in the list of previously viewed pages, which is rather inconvenient. I hope that can be restored.

And thanks for the new smilies. =D>

[Bobcat]

I notice that orange and blue seem to be the new theme colors. Go Cavs! :wink:

(That's a particularization of one Ms_Irreverent noticed; however, I started writing this post before paperboy's 9:04 post, so I'll worry about the puzzle aspect tomorrow.)

Private messages can be accessed via the PM's link up top.

I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding the back button and such. Perhaps the functionality is still there, but hidden in another way?

Unfortunately, this is how the colors came. I definitely wouldn't have consciously picked Cavs colors :wink:

[Bobcat]

Then you acted from divine inspiration! :lol: I like the Cavalier colors. I bet Hellgrrrl will appreciate them as well.

Yes, but it doesn't tell you there's a message the way it used to, so unless I happen to have checked email, I don't know there is one. It was a lot easier to just glance up and see that there were no messages or there was a new one.

Re the back button history, all I get now is a list that says "Marty Gallagher's Discussion Forum: Discuss Diet Basics, Fitness, etc.," regardless of which pages I actually open up or what I've done. In the previous incarnation, once I went to the index and hit view posts since last visit, the page listing the threads with new posts would show up in the back button history as "Marty Gallagher's Discussion Forum: Search." Or after posting, it'd say "post a reply" (or something like that). So now it's a guessing game to get back to the list.

And since we don't have rep here, what on earth is the meaning of the yin yang symbols?

(Oh, and I see yet another change, but I'll let someone else play.)

[vinay]

Hey, we were supposed to puzzle MsI for some more time.

This is one change i noticed! 'Attention Whore' ? :D
Paperboy is losing it.

[onecoolmama]

I like the sayings. I m guessig it says somehting different each one you fill up.

In other words how many post you have. SO the attention whore, have more posts than the primative people..and so on.

My guess woudl be it woudl fill up completely once you hit 500.

[onecoolmama]

LOL PB - the master of his domain. I think it just means you talk too much. :wink:

[ms_irreverent]

LOL I think it means whoever designed this template is a Seinfeld fan!

The titles do change as your post count increases. But I think I liked being "super user" a lot more than "attention whore."

Vinay, you're on to something. The filled-in yin yang symbols do seem to match up to the number of titles.

[Tom]

That good old song of wahoowa
we'll sing it o'er and o'er...

[CinnamonGirl]

WOW -- when I accessed the forum index, I thought I'd made a mistake . . . I see that I can delete my bookmark to MartyGallagher.com (home!). Very nice improvements, PB!

[paperboy]

Ms. I, it looks like we've lost/gained different funcionalities as a result of the software upgrade. For the most part, this is the final version of this new interface, so we'll have to get used to its quirks. But I'm looking into different tweaks to make things more fun and interesting.

[Bobcat]

That good old song of wahoowa
we'll sing it o'er and o'er...

It cheers our hearts and warms our blood
To hear them shout and roar . . .

[JimmyVengeance]

I dig the new look, PB.

This is a test.

[JimmyVengeance]

Woohoo! I can now back out of a new post/reply to the forum listing without generating a double post (always thought that was weird). This is great for mouse gesture enthusiasts (probably the only one). 8)

[Bobcat]

I think I liked being "super user" a lot more than "attention whore.

Perhaps Paperboy wishes to find out how far people's good natures extend--merely suggesting a possibility, speaking as a whore. :wink: I think I'll raise my prices as my lifts go up. :twisted: Or perhaps the purpose is to elevate the literary tone of our contributions by encouraging us to draw upon the rich store of whore references and allusions in English and American literature. :lol:

While we're on the subject, has anybody ever read 'Tis Pity She's a Whore by John Ford, or seen it performed?

[paperboy]

I guess you guys will just have to keep on posting to find out what's next...

[onecoolmama]

Tom is almost to 500. My guess is we will know soon enough.

[Tom]

I guess we'll see.

[Tom]

Pretty soon now.

[Tom]

Really, I'm just dying to find out.

[Tom]

Maybe nothing will happen at all.

[Tom]

Or maybe it'll be something terrible. Who knows?

[onecoolmama]

=D> You can do it!!!

[Tom]

There's only one way to find out.

[onecoolmama]

LOL!!! Now that is funny!! Nice work TOM!! And nice saying PB!

[Tom]

And there you have it.

Basically, I think they're trying to tell us to quit posting and go somewhere else.

[onecoolmama]

And there you have it.

Basically, I think they're trying to tell us to quit posting and go somewhere else.

I think we have a practical jokester on our hands. Heck...I'm just trying to be a whore. LOL!

[CinnamonGirl]

I'm gonna start posting a lot in the next few days. I don't like being an attention whore!

Thanks, Tom for boldly going where no one else has gone before so that we could all know what's next!

[paperboy]

And there you have it.

Basically, I think they're trying to tell us to quit posting and go somewhere else.

I think you'll love the next level after this one, Tom.

[ms_irreverent]

Hilarious! Good thing I wasn't drinking coffee when I saw that. :mrgreen:

[Bobcat]

Basically, I think they're trying to tell us to quit posting and go somewhere else.

Enough hints on both sides. Just say the word to all us whores, Paperboy. I had thought you were a pretty nice guy. I'm prepared to believe that this sort of stuff is out of character for you . . . but public defamation has been known to change more than one positive attitude.

[paperboy]

"Attention Whores" is what we used to call metrosexual exhibitionist bodybuilders, and, by extension, pro athlete showboats (Deion Sanders, et al). I thought it was funny, but then again, I'm just twisted like that.

Attention Whores rejoice, you will have a new title. Ms I, I'll wait until you have coffee in mouth before I reveal.

[CinnamonGirl]

I can't speak for Ms_I, but I'm not a professional anything (since we can't be metrosexuals) . . . and while OCM may be disappointed that you're planning to unveil another name for us, I have mixed feelings about the term "attention whore." I recognize the spirit in which it is used here, and I'm cool with it. There is truth to it in my case. :) I'm just concerned that it may convey a less than friendly message to folks considering joining the community.

[Bobcat]

Thanks, Paperboy. And I'm especially glad that I haven't any reason to change my opinion about your being a nice guy. :)

[paperboy]

Thanks, Paperboy. And I'm especially glad that I haven't any reason to change my opinion about your being a nice guy. :)

Stay tuned, you might find one yet O:)

7:30 a.m. Wednesday will work. ;)

Heh. I am a professional troublemaker! :mrgreen:

[paperboy]

Okay, I've changed the title...temporarily. I'll have the permanent one up soon.

[ms_irreverent]

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paperboy]

I was hoping you were drinking coffee.

[ms_irreverent]

I've learned. :lol:

[onecoolmama]

and while OCM may be disappointed that you're planning to unveil another name for us.

Well, I am disappointed. I liked the other name better. Oh well. Nowe I just dont have to try so hard. Being a closet fan isnt as appealing to me.

[CinnamonGirl]

Actually, in my opinion, the thought of somone rolling on the floor and then trying to re-attach the body part that fell off is much funnier than the thought of coffee coming out of someone's nose!

[CinnamonGirl]

Yeah -- especially of that guy!

[Bobcat]

Stay tuned, you might find one yet O:)

I hope not; I deal with conflict for a living. That's fine as long as there are places to go where it's the exception, not the rule. 8)

[Marty]

I like the pretty colors...they soothe my inflamed brain

[paperboy]

By the way, CG... I remember a while ago a comment you made about the avatars. I increased the avatar size to 120x120. Maybe if I have time, I'll even put up an avatar gallery, but people's tastes here are so diverse, it might be a futile effort.

[Bobcat]

I increased the avatar size to 120x120

Good deal! :) I can display a better cat now.

[CinnamonGirl]

Now, that is a handsome specimen of a cat. He looks content at the moment, but possibly dangerous at the same time! The original one was cute, this one is more interesting. Good choice, Bobcat!

[Bobcat]

I've long thought they were fine creatures. They tend to be dangerous only when attacked or cornered . . . unless you are the sort of creature they're hardwired to regard as dinner! I was happy when my stepdaughter tagged me with that nickname (though she doesn't use it much anymore).

The little cat was, I think, an elementary school mascot. I tried the current cat first, but the image was too big then.

Glad you like my new cat.

This was a very entertaining thread. Having a rough couple of weeks at work so thanks for this little distraction y'all... I like the colors too... I went to UVA as well... although I dropped out after two months and hitchiked around the country :-)

Actually, my loyalties lie first with the University of Dayton Flyers, alma mater of the most Superbowl-winning coaches!

[Bobcat]

Have you spent much time at the Dayton Art Institute? I've passed through Dayton so many times on my way to visit in-laws in the Toledo area, and we've said (too many times) we have stop in. What is it like?

Sorry, BC, I spent most of my time on campus and in sports bars!

I enjoyed Dayton, but the Midwest lifestyle was a little slow for this east coaster. I always said that if they transplanted all of Montgomery County, Ohio to the DC area, that would be a great place to be!

[guitarfreak]

When were you there?

I was at UVA in 1988. Like I said... I was there for two months... majored in English cause I wanted to be a writer... but then when I was there I realized I had no time to write or do anything... so I bailed out... hithicked around the country and met lots of strange people. I wrote a bunch of junk... then I came back to the D.C. area... studied a lot of guitar saved up some money working construction... went to Chicago and played guitar all day and night. Playing blues guitar in Chicago was a pretty intense education.

[Bobcat]

Now, that is a handsome specimen of a cat. He looks content at the moment

How could I have forgotten to mention this yesterday?! #-o Of course he looks content. He's just had something good to eat. :wink:

[ms_irreverent]

He is one pretty kitty, for sure.

[Bobcat]

He is one pretty kitty, for sure.

My cat says, "Thank you." :) (In fact, he says, "Purrrr," and I'm interpreting.) :wink:
