Sorry that happened, jimbo.  It logged as a session timeout.  That's why you had to log back in when you returned to post your message.  To avoid it in the future, when logging in check "always stay logged in".  Just keep in mind, though, that if you share your computer you'll want to log out manually when you choose to end the session or someone else coming here on that same computer would instantly have access to your account.

Nick Stahl, who played Ben Hawkins on HBO's "Carnivale" would be perfect as Willie....don't you think, Midnite? 

Oh good choice!  He's done well in a handful of diverse roles.

Now, on newer phones/service, when you connect to the server) ... it always says '24823' bytes transfered. The number doesn't stay the same...but...does anyone know where this all goes?

Patti, it's how many Packets are sent and received when you're connected.

The bytes are being stored_______________    anybody? And...can one clean it out, like cache/cookies?

It's just letting you know how much information is being sent and received.  No files are actually stored.  You may see similar info on your computer, not counting AOL users.  But the number of bytes is customized for cell phones, so for questions about it you really do need to contact your wireless service provider.

Okay, I can see the coding, but is there somewhere/way I can take it off where it is & play around with it?

Um, you copy and paste it to here.  That's why the Testing board description says, "Please keep all test posting, posting questions/comments, and general Forums questions/comments to this board. Also, look here for forum announcements and details regarding upgrades/modifications"

Where is sun (and are there others?

Patti, are you saying you don't know how to access the additional smilies?  How can that be, since I remember answering your questions about using the smiley popup screen?  But in case it has slipped your mind, under the 18  yellow smilies is a link called [Get More].

First, please let me say that the mods are very attuned to anything on the forums that resembles an attack.  We don't ignore claims of personal attack nor take the subject lightly.  Another issue that's near and dear to the hearts of the mods here is that debate is not argument; arguing does not make for a healthy debate.  After making their point(s), members should then allow others the chance to make theirs.  No one need get the last word (not counting when the mods lock the topic, hee hee, though of course that's only in extreme instances).  Both issues (personal attacks and arguing for argument's sake) are in the guidelines that all members must accept before posting.

But in all your descriptions of Joanna's ghostliness, you've only demonstrated that she was a ghost unlike other ghosts previously seen on DS.

I'm glad that point finally came across.

...

My posts may have been very unclear, but I did not think I made any such statement.  My post was intended as an open question ("Could she have been a witch?"), not a closed statement ("she must have been a witch").

Vlad, I did get your point in the first instance and though I know you like to return to clarify points already made I hope you'll realize that it's often not necessary.  I merely asked you which powers you were referring to; that's all.  I also realize that in the next instance you were asking a question, which was:

Might Miss Mills, as she is referred to, have been a witch in life?

and I replied:

I can't think of any evidence that supports the theory that Joanna was a witch.

I can't find anything wrong with my approach, sorry.  If this is what has you upset, then as moderator I have to request that if you're going to throw a question out in your posts, please be prepared to hear a "no" answer.  The same goes for providing theories, i.e. "food for thought"-- please be willing to hear an alternate theory in response.  Since reopening to guest traffic we've had 2 straight months with over 100,000 hits and this one is shaping up to be the same, so when a question is posed there's bound to be a reader with a different viewpoint on the subject, and other members are as welcome to share a contrary opinion as you are to introduce the subject.  Naturally, this applies to everyone.  One needs a somewhat thick skin before sharing viewpoints on a public internet forum, even one that's moderated.

Thanks, Luciaphil!  If anyone had a problem with the link, it should now take you directly to the archive.
