Hope victoriawinters won't mind if I post the URL to her Mame photo page on the Shadows in the Sun (LA fan group) site:

Click on the thumbnail, then "next".  That's Peter, Sharon, victoriawinters and ProfStokes with David, and Suzy Stokey, one of the Mame producers, in the 2nd photo.  Enjoy!

Thank you dear.

You're welcome.  

I understand Sci-Fi is congering up new pains in the coming year... where as I shall be viewing DS in the wee hours of 6 am and only a half hour to add insult to injury!

Ugh, 6 a.m.!  I can't imagine.  But with SciFi still showing 2 eps, are you saying you'll only be able to watch the first one?

I just noticed that on the topic listing board that I now have a tiny pix after some topics. It'll say: "Slow Board Tonight" <page 1,2> then there is this tiny pix that I can't even tell what it is or does it match any of the logos on the board. What does that mean?

Hi Carol,

The icon indicates that there's at least one image in the topic-- very handy if someone has posted photos to it.  In the case of the "Slow Board..." thread, the image is the Ping Plotter.  MB announced it in a topic called "New Icon" that by now is on page 3.  Oops?  

Actually, I just changed that.

Thank you!  And I'm sure I speak for everyone else that has had that smiley show up unexpectedly.

Sorry, Raineypark, but if I make posters exempt from seeing their own modifications then the changes I make to them wouldn't show up either.   But I'd guess that just about everybody will have some messages that show they modified them themselves; after all, that's what I basically asked for-- that posters deal with their own problems instead of making the mods do it.  Now I don't mind, of course, helping out if someone has made an effort but can't figure out, for example, what has gone awry with their quote box, but most problems require only basic computer skills or can be fixed by a quick visit to the Help section.  And though it's the responsibility of visitors to keep abreast of changes to the guidelines, I can't miss this wonderful opportunity to segue into mentioning that a brand new guideline has been added that addresses this subject of checking the Help files.

And btw, only the last edit will display.

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!
