Welcome back, brave adventurer.

If anybody fancies a few minutes of amusement, phone the AOL helpline and ask them something technical (how to plug your keyboard in usually foxes them).

Better change my avatar! Ameena, draw me something spring like lol!

It isn't long for easter to come!!(wink)

Ah... Easter, the season of chocolate eggs.

And the Easter Bunny.

And hot cross buns.

And something vaguely to do with Jesus, but I don't think anyone really bothers with that little detail anymore.

Like Christmas, really.

Woohoo! Welcome back Paul! I was starting to get worried. Glad you are back!

ven ra, it would be grateful for my eyes if you deleted your signature picture. thanks

@Ven Ra:
linflas isn't a fan of signatures, you know...

Trantor · Post by **Trantor** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 2:42 pm

I actually like that picture somehow...

Post by **Gambit37** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 3:18 pm

When signatures are large and bigger than the actual messages being posted, they become offensive. It would be good if you could decrease the size of the pic and put the text on one line if you must insist on a sig, Ven Ra.

Personally, I don't see the point of forum sigs -- they don't do anything useful that you can't already get from someone's profile and they basically slow everything down and bloat the page.

Post by **linflas** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 3:58 pm

i didn't say i don't like this "Ven-Ra" logo, nice idea anyway, but i don't like big (and often unuseful) signatures.

Plague · Post by **Plague** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 8:45 pm

Sorry to have caused offence, I forget that other people have different forum skins and different screen size resolutions...

I would have had the picture as my avatar, but the image just dosn't look right when reduced to 80x80 pixels.

I'll remove the text, would that be okay - or do you think it *really* dosn't work with the picture?

Post by **linflas** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 9:07 pm

errrmmmmm... if you're not a hardcore poster like beo, well

I was away to accuse us of going OT, except this isthe OT topic. Dame te tu fruta!

Post by **Sophia** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 10:24 pm

Give me you your fruit?

¿Qué estás fumando?

Vamos me amor!

Lol, it's some spanish lyrics from a Rammstein song. No wacky cigarettes were harmed in the making of this post. And you translated it perfectly

Ven Ra, you can make a picture (that appears below your text) smaller and put it onto your avatar (say somewhere between that guy and the "planet"- or whatever it is).

Post by **Gambit37** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 11:37 pm

Well, it doesn't bother me anymore -- I blocked it using AdBlock!

phpBB really needs the vBulletin profile setting "Hide user signatures? Yes/No" -- I hope they have that in v3....

Post by **PaulH** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 11:55 pm

Firkin AOL! Its at it again! Can get on the net for 30 seconds then MON FUL IR! I lose the connection, the DSL light fails and AOL crashes. I have reinstalled it, reinstalled the modem drivers, bought a better cable, had BT install a new socket but the thing still fails. The only way I can get online is to quickly stop all the annoying AOL start up crap as it loads, switch to FireFox and disable images.

Gonna have to change ISP, but my family and I have so many accounts set up using our AOL addresses, over 4 years worth.

I was just about to PM you about your new dungeon Paul, but you have disappeared - now I know why.

Adamo · Post by **Adamo** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 12:48 am

I met Trantor, PaulH and Sophia today on the flashchat! what a crowd !

Post by **Gambit37** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 12:55 am

Paul, you do know that AOL stands for Always Off Line?

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 8:24 am

Looks like I picked the wrong night to go to bed

I guess I should start checking flashchat again!

Post by **linflas** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 10:09 am

i went on flashchat too but i was alone.. i put myself "Away" and watched some 'Ronin' on TV.. when i cam back, i was disconnected

and i'm not using AOL

Trantor · Post by **Trantor** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 10:26 am

I saw you there Linflas, but you didn't say a word and then suddenly went off. So, if you had reconnected, you would have met us.
