I know it's hard...

Post by kevinswatch »

...but please, don't set the message board style to the imaginary, blank board style listed in your profile.

It is not some super cool, really neat, and totally awesome board style that you just have to see in order to fulfill your life.

It is not some top secret board style that only the elitist of members can view.

It does not feature a background of me posing in a swim suit.

It will cause lots of major problems for you, screw everything up so you can't see anything, give you lots of errors, and effectively lock you out of the Watch forever, until you manage to get in contact with me so I can fix it for you.

I know you all are tempted by the mysterious blank board style. God knows it keeps me up at night for hours, haunting me. Calling me. But please, do no select it. Resist the urge. I've already had to fix 2 people's profiles. If it happens again, I will endlessly mock that person.

Thank you. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programs.-jay

People, listen to me: there is a cover-up at work here. When I changed the board settings I was taken to an ultra-secretive site run by Jay. There's a major conspiracy going on, and the admins are behind it! Secret rituals, abductions, vanished posts and threads! And now Jay is trying to cover it up.

Oh, and the background is Jay in a swimsuit. :biggrin:

I did it once. Fortunately I had enough experience to know that you just have to click back to get to the profile screen in the old layout, change the setting, then hit submit again.

I find it easier to just not change my settings. Fewer problems that way. :D
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Hah! It didn't work for me. It went back, but no matter what I changed it to, I got an error on submitting it. :D But Jay sorted me out. :D

The confirmation page still uses the layout setting from before you change the option, so you have to go to another page after that to see if its changed. Don't know if you did that or not.

Aah, no, I don't think I did. Couldn't have, because I was definitely locked out. :D

Luckily it was the end of the day. I PM'd Jay from my other account, and by the time I got back next morning, he'd fixed it for me. :)

I have no idea why but, Av, I laughed my ass off when I read that you were the other one who had chosen the imaginary option! :P

But Vain, no, NO!!!! Don't delete the option! [And maybe this is a good time to say "small things amuse small minds! :biggrin:]

Haha, I meant leaving in the blank. :D

I don't care if I'm suddenly a laughing stock for accidentally locking myself out of the forum. ;)

It was a "moment" for me, Av. I thought "ah, he *is* human". Seriously, you're just too...um...well...wish I were half as well adjusted as you are! ;)
