What a wonderful home this is.

I'm first and oh so unfashionable.

Mister_Ruysbroeck 03-25-2003 05:37 PM

Speaking of fashionistas, has anyone seen the new "movie" of the same title? I heard it won a lot of awards or something....

So, the quoting works the same.:)

Is this the same software we used before?

I figured I had to offer at least a little fashionista content...

Alex_de_Large 03-26-2003 10:20 AM

What did I do wrong? Is the image/smilie insertion code turned off?

Edit: just noticed that [img] code is off...

WTF?
 
What gives? I can't find anything to complain about yet.

No, it isn't the same software. It is based on the same software but it is actually proprietary.

Leagl,

Why do we have edit buttons showing on *everyone's* posts, not just our own?

(It wouldn't let me modify others' posts, but still. My hopes of editing LFM's missives were dashed.)

edited b/c I am stupid.

I think the reason they have it there is b/c it requires fewer database calls if it just shows up for everyone. In other words, it would have to perform extra database queries for everyone when drawing a page in order to decide whether or not to show the image. This way, it only runs the query when the link is clicked, which reduces the load on the server.

I was going to exert my limited powers by editing Gattigap's post, only to find I cannot edit either.

First, I lose my "too sexy for her rank" distinction.

Then, I lose my powers.

I am powerless. :(

Merely an oversite. Leagle hasn't set up moderators yet. (I don't think).

actually, you can create your own custom title by going to user cp > edit profile and then inputting what you want in the "Custom User Text" box. :)

Alex_de_Large 03-27-2003 08:55 AM

Yup, still works...

Oh, right. I didn't.

Love the Options
 
I love how many options we have to change the look and feel of the board.

Especially the ability to ignore other people's signatures and avatars. ;)

barely_legal 03-27-2003 04:12 PM

Just testing out my new avatar -- I want everybody to have to look at my hot little potentially toaster-worthy boy-toy elf.

paigow should hate this.

Alex_de_Large 03-27-2003 04:20 PM

how to pick an avatar....
 
why do all your avatars have to be so creepy? Just pick a reality show contestant/media whore and be done with it! Preferably an ambiguously gay one.

evenodds 03-27-2003 05:21 PM

Re: how to pick an avatar....
 
I guess it's good you cannot attach a soundclip to the avatar.

evenodds 03-27-2003 05:24 PM

Thanks, Leagl
 
for giving me my own special designation.

Now I feel the love.

Thank you for not picking Josh or Corey.

The God Bless the USA sing-along almost made me turn off the tv in the middle of the results show.

I hate that freakin song: "ahm proud to be an american,where at least I know ahm freeeeeeee" and Lee Greenwood for inflicting it upon us.

LessinSF 03-27-2003 06:03 PM

Just checking it out
 
I still dislike the software comparitively, but it is looking better and does have useful options like search and ignoring users.

Still hate these too - :cheers:

You know, you can make your own custom user title. See my post about a half page up.

I just couldn't figure out how to do it.

I think that the choice to pay for the service was a good one. This is the sixth or seventh time that Morgan's site has gone down.

We got what we paid for.

Alex_de_Large 03-27-2003 09:38 PM

Agreed. Any word on why he is down?

Why are you complaining about lack of material? You aren't just a counterpuncher. You can riff endlessly about picayune nonsense.

It remains to be seen whether we've gotten what we've paid for. Now that I've coughed up $50, maybe I can dare hope for penske and bilmore to step up and replace the plated, patentgreedy and lbc.

I'm only going to say this once, and then I'll drop it....

You would NOT be complaining if you knew how shitty the other forum software was and how much effort we have put into providing YOU with a FREE, stable, scalable community. And we are not getting paid for this, either.

If we did we did, but we couldn't stay at a board that kept crashing and had substandard technology.

It took us time to put together a solid board with the things it needed to have. Hopefully this will do it.

Part of the reason there were so many people signed up on the old board but not posting was because of its instability. The most important thing we could do was create a stable site. Given what MR and I have done here with the help of some paid professionals, we hope we finally have that.

It isn't easy to create a good board, it doesn't happen over night. In the space of a month I have been involved with the creation of 4, count them 4 different boards. Each one has been a labor of love for this community. I am sick of moving too, but I was not going to offer to create a new home, and then, create a shitty one. So as far as I am concerned we did what we had to do. Hopefully people will like it and will come and post.

If not, we did our best, and that is all we can do.

Consider this, worm:

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Glad to see this line of your socks is back. Although I'm not so keen on your primary sock, I've always been a fan of this line. Also, please keep the same name so it's easy to look for your kind of fun.
