If I'm not crazy and I'm not saying I'm not, I think if we like the post we are supposed to curse it.

You've got it right. :) If something/someone appeals to you, reward it/him/her with a curse. However, if you don't like Karma and would like to see it gone, then you might want to do the opposite. ;)

Speed is back to normal today

I just checked our host's support furum (which also uses YaBB SE, BTW ;)) and as I suspected they have been working on their servers. Frankly, I don't understand how/why that would only seem to affect opening posts. But then, I don't know how they have their servers configured. However, if the problem turns into something that happens repeatedly, I'll certianly try to find out...

I love it.  How hilarious this karma feature turned out to be.

I was about to switch my campaigning from begging curses to ... cures.   ???  It's not quite the opposite though, or is it?  If we get too many cures what happens to karma?   >:D  MB, it sort of looks like karma goes away if there are too many cures?

I had quite a slow down yesterday and the night before.  Today, it took quite a while to get to the main forum page, but once here, everything seems to be going along fine.

By the way, I've been able to bypass that Introductory page!!  For a lot of things that I do regularly, instead of using a bookmark, I click the little drop down box where the URL appears.  Recent items are there.  In IE, this is one of the few things I do, so that seems to be the easiest.  Well, it lists www.dsboards.com/indexse.html and that takes me straight to the main page instead of the introduction!!

Memo to self.....do not log on here in the morning before your first hit of caffeine.

The switching of the posting order threw me for an instant here.  Thought I was losing it!  Whew!  Wonder what other onry hijinx are in store for me on da board this morning!

The graphic was completely separate from the forum colors and was outlined in red, white, and blue.  What didn't you like about it?

I may have missed the graphic MB or it didn't strike me as being harsh.  It was mostly the Red mixed with the purple or general purple look to the board.  It's not really a strict blue blue.  Mostly, I realize for it too look really hot and pretty would have necessitated a change in the board code which I knew you didn't want to do and neither would I.  And thus, with my little adventure hope that my point is demonstrated.

This is much better and soooo easy on the old tired bookkeeper eyes.

Will we all turn into pumpkins if we're on the forum when the clock strikes midnight?

I guess not - we all seem to be here as our "normal" selves. ;)
