OK, qustion about the board itself.

Does anyone know the name of the two colors that are the background of a post for every other post? I tried gray and light grey. No good.

Personally, I call the two colors Susan and Bobby.

Er, ok. That was a lame answer. Hehe. The truth is I don't know. But instead of just saying I don't know, I just had to make a lame joke instead. ;) -jay

:) Don't know what their names are, but the RGB breakdown is:

"light grey" R-239 G-239 B-239
"dark grey" R-222 G-227 B-231

Hope it helps. ;)

I can still see your av, Revan. Must be an issue on your end (perhaps try a shift+refresh?).

I can see it too. (Isn't that Ctrl+Refresh Murrin?)

Sometimes some of them disappear. Might have to do with the number of download requests from the host site? *shrug*

Ctrl+F5 works, but Shift+click refresh does the same thing (I just tried Ctrl+click refresh, but it didn't do it; Shift+F5 doesn't even refresh).

Considering you only joined 7 months ago, I don't think any of your posts rate as 'old'. That being said, I looked around and see the same 'sucker' sig on all your posts, which leads me to believe you either need a new Optologist, a new drug dealer, or a new shrink.

I see it now. It's only the posts you've made in the last week, though. Your earliest posts have it, and I see it on posts up to June 3rd, so it's just the last few days that it's not showing up. I don't think Jay's playing with you; it must be that the setting was off from 6/3 to now, but on before it.

I am able to fix it in the forums I mod, so I'll do that much for you, at least. As much as Avatar pimps his forum, I'm sure he'll be quick to offer you the same service. :biggrin:

Heh, I like to play at times (okay, all of the time), but I'm not usually serious, and even if I hated your guts, I'd still be interested enough in how you managed to do this to see if I could fix it. Besides, this gave me an opportunity to take a shot at Avatar, which is pretty much the reason I still cling to this puissant, fomicating existence. :biggrin:

Oh, and I found a sig-less post on 6/2, at about 10:30 pm. So heads up for whatever other mods who are paying attention here.
