Hi Karen,

I get an error message when I try to view my buddy list. I'm sure someone has mentioned that to you already, but just thought I'd let you know just in case

Hi Karen,

No one else has. What error do you get?

And Phred, sorry, but do we know what colors you COULD see the differences between, and what about people who are different flavors of color blind?

Here is the message I got:

This looks really KEWL!! Great job!

Karen and Paul, I've waited until today to digest the new Pet Talk upgrade and I think it's great. Thanks for all work involved!

I'm still missing a couple of things but giving you time to finish what you have in mind.

I had some concern yesterday with the Members List, but today I notice it's in the old familiar format. Now I can search by Join Date. It used to default to newest members first, oldest last, which meant I was the third oldest member! Now it defaults to oldest first, which means I'm down the list!
(Just teasing.)

Now, about Phred's color problem - maybe use different shapes? I notice the icons have symbols in them - maybe symbols could be added.

Thanks again for a great Pet Talk!

Shapes are GOOD!!
The "old" Yelllow check mark being on/off was good enough for me!
I'm red/green color blind; but Yellow is always bright and noticable.
Blue is good as long as it's "bright" and not too deep or dark ...
some blues appear almost black.

Red/Green is the most common color deficiency ... but I know color blind folks who
see nothng but Black, White, and shades of Grey!

Thanks, Phred.

Say, in your post, now sandwiched between two of mine - on the right hand side next to the post number - do you see a triangle? I'm thinking "bad post" is not offered on our own posts.

Thanks Again.

Missing "Today's Active Topics" ...

If using "new posts" doesn't work for you...

I have Paul looking into getting "Today's Active Topics" back for logged in folks ...

I'll "pay extra" to have it back!!

The *problem* with the "New Posts" search is it only shows stuff that is "new" since

your PREVIOUS Visit ...

If you visit, leave, then return ... only posts that updated since you left are shown ...

More I think about it - the "old" search was not limited to "Today" ...
I think it was more like just "Active Topics" ...
I think it went back almost a week.

Maybe we can take up a collection for the Pay Paul to FixZit Fund -
I'll be HAPPIE to chip in!!

Thanks, Phred.

Right you are!

You can't mark your OWN post as "bad"!

What HAPPENS if you hit that *clicker* on someone's post?????

I don't have the courage to "try it"!

I just noticed another new feauture, you can "minimize" a Forum by clicking the 2 arrows on the right side of it.

LOL! Phred, perhaps you can edit without filling in the field, and it may noy show - haven't tried that myself.

Oh Phred, I see what you mean. Bad enough to see that you had to edit your post - but to be able to see the "reason" - makes it look like your grade just went from an "A" down to an A- ...........cause you couldn't spell!

[Cinder & Smoke]

you can "minimize" a Forum by clicking the 2 arrows on the right side of it.

And thoe "2 arrows" would be located WHERE??

On an Index page?

[Freckles]

Phred, the two arrows are on the Home page - is that what you mean by index?
