Hi guys,

I'll soon be turning on the feature that indicates at the bottom of a message when it was modified and by whom.  I hesitated to do it before now cuz it didn't seem necessary, but despite requests for everyone to simply look over their own submitted messages after the system automatically loads them anyway (see Bandwidth Saving Measures on Current Talk), I find I'm still modifying a great deal of messages.  So, if my name or dom's appears at the bottom of your messages, the most common reason was to remove a large amount of blank space that others would have to scroll past in order to keep reading, such as this...















Are you still with me? Other reasons a moderator might've modified your message(s) are faulty YaBB codes, unwelcome smilies [I asked MB to change the smiley code to something other than 8 and ) but with all the other work needed on the forum it's not a priority at this time], to attribute a quote to its author, to add spacing, or to add a Spoiler warning/icon.  I think it bears repeating that the mods DON'T edit the content in messages unless we TELL you about it and are able to refer to a guideline for the reason.

BTW, if you modify your own messages after they're posted (don't we all?), this will also be reflected at the bottom.

Thanks!

I hope ProfStokes and victoriawinters had as much fun as I did at Mame.  I'm looking forward to reading your reactions and reports, ladies, on everything from the play and Selby's performance to meeting him afterwards.  Did he come out to the lobby to meet you?  (He said the backstage area was too small.  They saw the afternoon show yesterday, btw, whereas MsCriseyde and I attended in the evening, as did our friend VampiRich as well as Marcy Robin, Kathy Resch, and their friend Pam.)

I'll write more about it when I have a chance, but for now I'll just say that his singing blew me away, his energy on stage and when he met with his fans was an incredible sight to behold, and to paraphrase a friend, ohmygodhewassogorgeous.

He mentioned that LP and KLS attended Friday's performance, and that Johnny Karlen had also come to see him!

LoveAtFirstBITE, yay!!!!!!!!

After Nov. 22, DS fans will be subjected to 3 straight weeks of pre-emptions, and possibly another 2 soon after.  SciFi's schedulebot shows that DS won't be shown at all during the Thanksgiving week (Nov. 25 thru Nov. 29), and this morning ShadowGram is reporting the following additional pre-emptions:

Dec. 2 thru 6
Dec. 9 thru 13

Dec. 23 thru 27
Dec. 30, 31, Jan. 1, and possibly the rest of that week

This is nuts.  Does anyone have SciFi's addys handy?

Birthday greetings to casper_collins,
who has been sorely missed on the forums!

Today's LA Times dedicates a 1/4 page to Dennis Patrick in its obituary section, p. B13.  Unfortunately, it's not online, and there's an error regarding his role on DS, but it's a lovely tribute nonetheless.

(Thanks, Bette!)

Raineypark has been asking oh-so-politely for witch smilies, so in honor of Halloween there are now 2 to choose from.  (As you can see, I'm not big on the green warty face.)  Unfortunately, these 2 newest smilies aren't linked to any emoticon pages in the Help files, so you'll need to insert them into your post as images.

will give you this smiley:

Ditto with this[img]www.dsboards.com/YaBBImages/witch.gif[/img]

Have fun!
