When I logged on this morning the forum page was very different and there was little purple on the page, also the latest posts sction was missing. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? Here is a screen shot.  As you can see there is no purple (  ) and no latest posts list. () |

perhaps...the graphics got changed?
Tony R did announce that mailto:M@X - M@X will do some changing work on improving the system. Perhaps the layout got the treatment as well. -------------

And when I tried posting that last message I got a bunch of spamming notices. Even though I waited like a minute in between posts. Maybe if I restarted my computer and thus the internet connection... |

I don't have any problem at all. Maybe your high post rate has put you on M@X's spam radar?  ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests. Promo's for ariplay can be sent to [email protected] |

The pull down menu lets you pick how long of a time you want to see and it shows you what threads have been posted in. For instance if I picked the 8 hours from the pull down menu it would show me what threads have been posted in over the preceding eight hours. |

didn't understood that last part, is my explorer (right now I have IE6, but normally Firefox) responsible for rejecting the feature?
 up in the typing boxes, I can enlarge the emoticons. but upon submiting the post, they stick to their original format. -------------

I will give the big emoticon secret up. YOu have to click the reply button next to the quote button. Before adding an emoticon make the size as big as it can go. Then stretch out the emoticon to the size you want. Sorry about not telling you earlier I was just having some childish fun by being one of the few able to resize it. Sorry for the immaturity on my part. |

that's somehow okay, Ben.
 but it should work on all cases, not just with the reply button.
or is just a one try before working completely, no matter what? -------------

I don't understand you. I think you have to resize every time before you try to stretch out an emoticon. |

This is a test with the quick reply using SIZE=6 in square brackets to see if it works: |

nice trick revealing, Mr. Ben, it's not working.  -------------

| It looks like you have to use the reply button to stretch out emoticons. |
Posted By: progismylife
Date Posted: January 28 2007 at 09:46
You change the size to the highest and then click on the emoticon you want straight after. That's how I did it. I'm in size 6! |

Date Posted: January 28 2007 at 09:48

or maybe you could just simply quote somebody and make some changes yourself ------------- The devil we blame our atrocities on is really just each one of us. |

I've been here ..what.. nearly a year and a half and have never figured
out how to have enlarged emoticons. Then again... considering how
addicted I am to them.. maybe that's not such a bad thing

I miss the purple.
But most of all, I miss the "alternating colors" of the backgrounds of the thread titles on the forum list.

That was actually not the way I did it. I just copyed bigger emoticons from older threads and pasted it in the reply box.
