Over the last couple of days, each time I return to the board, lighbulbs are yellow even though there are no new posts since my previous visit. During the visit, the lightbulbs turn white after I view the posts but the next time I log on - yellow, no new posts????

Okay, NOW I understand the thing about being mantled.




And if you explained it somewhere else there's a real good chance that I never read it.

Caradea is still hosting my chili pepper, I trust? Now if I could only remember the URL, since the one I host on my website doesn't seem to be as stable as hers was. [monain' about my lost avatar-e]

You don't need anyone to host it. You can upload it from your own computer.

> friends

not sure. I put a bunch of folks in my address book, but not sure that the two are related. seeing as there seems to be cookie and "who's online" issues already, hard to tell.

I don't have any idea. No surprise there.
My owl is taller in real life. I don't know why he gets shorter as my avitar.
I think this will be better to use when I figure out all the keen new widgets.

The Board limits avatar sizes to 80x80. I think it shrinks any dimension that's greater than 80 but leaves any that's 80 or less alone. Was your original something like 100x67?

I'll trim his frame down when I get home next week, maybe that will help. But maybe he's just trying to keep warm and I should leave him alone.

PS is there a spell check feature here any more? My OED is 250 miles away.

Was there ever a spell check feature here?

But, no, Ænigma was given the pink slip and nobody was hired to replace her.
