Coloured Blobs ??

One of the things that has become apparent with the change of ownership is that the underlying computer code has been customized to some extent, which make maintenance more difficult. Steve is trying to bring the system back to a stable platform that makes administration easier.

While this is happening, we will see some odd things like this little green box pop up. Once we figure out what causes this to occur and what to do about it, we'll let you know.

With source code a good programmer can fix anything!!! I'd offer my services, but I don't do HTML (yet).

Or, in our case, who moderates the Moderators?

Fear not noble readers. I have infiltrated their ranks and will discover their secrets. Are they aliens? Are they the followers of strange gods? Did they put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?

I will find the truth!!!

And so saying, he stepped into the spaceship and disappeared from view never to be seen again. But on still, starry nights it is possible on the edge of hearing to get a bop of a bop-shu-wop.

Ladies and Gentlemen, There is no reason for anyone to get a twist in their Kilt.

The little colored things were part of what the software calls "Reputation".
In a small forum or one with very little activity it can be used as a sort of reward or status system.

It has never been activated on this forum for the simple reason that some of you have already discovered. If you have a friend you simply click on his scales and his reputation goes up. If you have an enemy the reputation goes down just as easily.

To my way of thinking it is pretty stupid.

But my code guy and I were going through the entire site last night looking for possible conflicts in preparation for an update to the site. We were checking everything. Turning stuff on, turning it off. We simply forgot to turn this one off after we were done.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. But at least some of you got some laughs out of it.

As this "Feature" has now been turned off this thread is now closed.
