Re: SUNDAY ~ ROAD Trip - Load UP!!
:eek: Lookout, Bowzie! It don't look like dat train gonna stop if you were ta mis a step der! :eek:
Looks like everyone had a great time, Phred. :D I was wondering though....it would seem to make sense to have one collar with 3 hook-ups on it, one hook up for the leash, and one hook up on either side for the other doggies...if you know what I mean. Then one doggie in the middle gets that collar, and the other two have their own collars clipped to the one in the middle...so they go in a row instead of in a y.
Kinda like dis
O---Q---O
O=doggy collar
Q=doggy collar with leash hook-up
Know what I mean?

There's an "Option" you can change in "User CP"
that might help to "Speed things UP" for you...
The TIME required to load a Thread onto your puter is a function
of MANY factors - one of which you can easily change to see
if it helps.
No matter How Many individual "Posts" there are in a thread;
YOUR puter only loads "some" of those posts...
5, 10, 20, 30, or 40 posts - AS Selected by YOU.
The more posts you choose to see on a page, the LONGER it takes
to load the page. And if there are some photos, or large Siggys on
those pages - it can take "quite a while" :rolleyes: "load" that page!
To check and/or CHANGE you setting - go to >>>
"user cp" - click that button just under the Top Banner
Next *click* on "Edit Options" and scroll down to:
"Default Posts per Thread" and LOOK to see what's showing
in the lil window.
If it says "Default" or 20, or 30, or :eek: 40 posts per page...
Ya mite wanna try CHANGING it!!
I suggest you try "10 posts / page".
After you select your new setting,
you MUST scroll on down and click the
"Submit Modifications" button at the bottom to have the
change take effect.
*I* have mine set for "10 posts per page" -
a workable number for my "not-so-swift" puter and Dial-Up modem.
For this 400+ post THREAD about da Bowz;
IF you're set on "20 posts / page" - you're loading 1/20 of
the thread each time you visit.
CHANGE your setting to "10 posts / page" and you only load 1/40th
of all the posts. It WILL load *quicker*! ;)
And *I* personally *like* the continuity of the Loooonger Tails -
it's ALL there under ONE Thread Title...
no <wondering> :confused: if you've :eek: "Missed" a portion
of the Tail somewhere if you don't check it every day.

:D Thanks for the info Phred!
I think our computers are related. Mine is an old "not-so-swift" puter and Dial-Up modem too.
I had mine set on default and it took forever to load on some threads. Usually on pages that have blinkies and stuff. I changed it to 10.
I sort of like having the "tails of Bowzie" in one thread. I might miss one if there are more than one thread. If you do start a new thread, please leave us a map here so we can find it.
ps: it does load faster!!!!:D
Our FURST "Publik Appearance" ...

Re: To "Speed things Up"... Read This >>>
I had this same problem back in my dial up days. A fellow PetTalker gave me this tip:
Follow Phred's instructions to get to "Thread View Options"
The first option is "Show user's signature in their posts?" Check NO.
I didn't know about changing the number of posts per page, but if you need a little more speed, try no sigs, too.

Zippy <wonders>: WHERE is our Gifty Box?? Shudda BEEN there by now!!
:(

I've been trackin' that bad boy for quite some time now,
wonderin' when the heck the lil' tracker box would say
more than just "Left the Hobbs/Roswell facility!" lol
*I* hadn't realized there was an :eek: "problem" till I read
Zipp's Post and then <looked> at the Postage Label =
EEE-Yiipes!! LOTTA $$ munnie for "Priority Mail" box to
take EIGHT Daze to get from New Mexico to Ohio!! :(
Sounds like a job for my Buddie Janice at the PO to look into!
Saturday mornin, at the PO...
Hi, Janice! Take a <look> at this lid from the box I got Friday.
Ooooh, MY!! EIGHT Days!???
Shudda been here LAST Saturday or Monday at the latest.
Something went terribly wrong with THAT Box!
Let's see... Address correct & Legible;
No postmarks showing it was mis-delivered;
leave that lid with me - I'll do an "inquiry" on Monday.
OK, Thanks!
Uhh-Ooooh! HERE's the Problem!!
See THIS >>>
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...f/f5128881.jpg
Were there any "Hazardous Materials" in the box??
Uhhh, NO! Dawg & Kat Treats and Toys! No Bombs!
Welllll, "Somebody" at a Sorting Facility put
that "NO Fly" Label on there to prevent this box
from getting ON an airplane; OR when it got taken OFF
an airplane because of a "problem".
Wonder WHY it got put on there???
Further close examination of the lid revealed >>>
The PROBLEM >>>
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f5128746.jpg
Partially Obscured (But still "readable") Haz-Mat placards
imprinted on the carton ends...
Reads "Consumer Quantity" + "ORM-D" + "ORM-D-AIR"
All "shorthand" for saying the box once-upon-a-time carried
"stuff" that can't FLY without a Haz-Mat Shipping Document.
We looked a lil closer...
And decided The Box was a retired "Avon Cosmetics" carton.
LOOK! Somebody knew "Some of the Tricks" with
these old Avon boxes - they completely COVERED ALL the Big-Print
"AVON" imprints {SEVEN of em!) with paper labels.
And "tried" to cover the Haz-Mat placards printing with a magic marker!
Musta been a real Eagle-Eye Aviation Safety "Spotter"
that read those old Haz-Mat Placard imprints!
Then she went on to explain WHY she knew EXACTLY what happened...
Janice: "I used an Identical AVON box to send
Christmas gifts to my daughter - took TWO WEEKS to get to California! :mad:
Daughter complained to her Postmaster who did a review and
reported back that "the BOX" was at fault for it's "old" AVON labels!"
Moral of the Story - Don't use AVON Boxes to ship stuff! :rolleyes:
I'm really SORRY that the "Gift Committee" was worried...
But it DID get here Safe & Sound.
Dunno if it was by Train, Truck, or 20-Mule Team Wagon;
but whatever the method - WE are HAPPIE!! :D

Aw, that explains it! If it was in ROSWELL, NM, the UFOs were probably snooping through it. They had to see what was inside it! Those little green men like packages, don't ya know? :D
What great pictures of Boots and Smokey! Worthy of framing!
:D :D
