Hmmm it's nice, but being the typical human that I am, I don't like change, but I'll get over it. One thing though... It's not really important, but it might mess things up a little. I noticed that the calendar is off a day somehow. Mine and two other's birthdays are on April 6 which is a Tuesday this year. However this calendar has it on the 5th but still on a Tuesday. Strange things are afoot at the BD Calendar. But anyhoo, I don't care that much how it looks, just so long as it's got all the normal content. Heck this place could be laid out like word document, I'd still come. (It just wouldn't be as cool)

That's just the way the calendar looks. The day is at the top left of the (imagined) box for the day, the number on the top right, colliding with the next weekday.

Oh, but there is a spell-checker.

It's called hitting the Preview Button and reading through your message before posting.

Of course. You must be very intelligent.

Thanks for letting me know. The Preview Button will be my best friend from now on.

Cheers,

I have verified that my posts are not being eaten. It seems to be operator error- apparently you have to let the thread reload part way before you close it out for the post to appear.
I apologize, noble board, for impugning your honor.

Yeah, I'd definitely wait for the redirect to be done. You can always use more windows if you're impatient.

Curiously, some green spiders are showing up in the "Who's on-line" screen.
To be more specific they seem as though they might be guests, as they are green, but instead of listing "Guest" my snap shot shows two that read Googlebot (Google) Spider and one that reads Zyborg (Looksmart) Spider. Are these spiders poisonous? If not what does this designation mean? That they have found the site via a search engine?

Yup, you're perfectly right. In some cases you can easily tell with which search engine, too. I have to admit I do not know the exact way in which spiders are registered on Who's online, but I suppose you become a normal guest once you move from the originally linked destination to somewhere else on the site.

Once again, the subject of avatars has risen (thanks to me).

I can`t get my avatar to work! I followed all of your steps but I keep get a message that says the URL does not exist. I have tried it with several different avatars, and I`m sure I`m getting the right URL, but it still does not work. Can you help me?

Also I are there any sites I can get an avatar from that you know work?

Thag you very buch!

Some sites do not allow their images to be linked, Nimrodel - that could be your problem. To find avatar sites, try searching for "avatar" with Google - you should come up with plenty of possibilities.

You can also upload pics from your computer to be your avatar. They have to be 64 by 64 pixels or less. If you find an image you really like but it's too big and you don't have a program to cut them down to size, PM me with your email address and I'll cut them for you.
