    Chris, is there anything (or anyone) that you don't like? :)

    I don't know yet, Op. Try me. I guess there'll be something I don't like.

    SHHHHHH, Possum--it's her way of increasing her post total!

    Well, yes... I have to... I've got many rivals now, who are going to overpost me within weeks, whatever I do. At least I'm trying to make this 'fight' harder for them. :bigsmile:
  1.  
    So...Chris..are you going to post in response to this? (No rhyme intended, but appreciated, nonetheless).
  2.  
    Just for the record, Chrisy, it may have only taken us about 10 days, but Spiny, Mac and myself haven't even made it past 500 posts, so even put TOGETHER we're about 3500 posts short from surpassing you. :neutral:

    DKay, Fan--how do you make the text scroll up and down? Do you just do marquee and instead of left or right for the direction, put in up or down?

    DKay, how do you make it blink?

    I want to add these to my original post, so people won't have to go searching through all the posts to find the information.

    That's a good idea, MrsThing. We need a thread like this and that. I still can't post an own pic, for example (although, I haven't even tried it yet).

    Translation: Pictures from my own file.

    You can't post a pic that's on your computer (unless your computer happens to be a web server). You have to upload the pic to an image hosting site like Imageshack or Photobucket. After you do that, the photo hosting site will tell you the new web address (also known as URL) of the photo. You use that web address to post the picture as per Mrs. Thing's instructions in the first post of this thread.

    This is to say that anyone can hide their online status and thus appear on the "Who's online" list as "1 phantom member" (which is NOT a username, although it's possible to make those words your username as well but than it is just a name).

    (Unfortunately usernames cannot be very long so it's not possible to do any cool stuff with them. (Maybe MacNerd will now prove me wrong.))

    Okay, that explains a lot. Thanks.

    Yeah, it's obviously not a user-name, everybody knows that, we had a similar opportunity also on the old-forum.

    This phantom user is a user name, though, and is apparently the one who was whispering abuse to Spiny. The non user name phantoms that occur from simply choosing not to reveal your online status as per Spiny's instructions don't hide who you are when you post. If I were having my online status hidden right now, you would still see "MacNerd" at the top of this reply.

    Yes, sure, MacNerd. But he/she took up the name after we - mainly me - was/were joking about the ID of the phantom user. Somebody, either from the general forum-people, or the one, who really was the phantom user, registered again under this name.

    The phantom user (lower case) is anyone who blocks their online status in their profile, Chris. You or I or anyone could be a phantom user just by changing the settings in our profiles. All we have to do is check off the box labeled "Hide my online status", and presto--we show up as phantom user in the list of who's online. If we make a post, however, our real username will appear above the post.

    The Phantom User (initial caps) was a member who chose that user name and decided to be abusive to Spiny. He or she is gone now.

    I miss my dog. The cat is insane. He spends most of his time ignoring us. When he's not ignoring us, he goes from cute, cuddly, purring cuteness to arm-shredding psycho beast in half a second and for no apparent reason. It is nice not to have to get up in the middle of the night to walk him, though.

    I want a dog that uses a cat's litter-box.

    How is it that pictures of puppies are being hosted on a technology consulting site?

    They are very bright puppies. Graudated first in their class in MIT. How quick you judge someone by their appearance!

    But those pics are all on http://www.tarr.com/tibetanterriers/TT_Web_Pictures/, which of course is part of the domain http://www.tarr.com/. Which is some kind of technology consulting site.

    Possum, is that your dad's business server that you're using as your own personal Photobucket? Won't he be mad when he finds out? Or is that YOUR tech consulting business?

    You see, Mac, there's this site called "google". I know, it's a funny name, I didn't get it at first, but apparently - if you write a word in it - it finds you stuff from the internet that have the word you typed in it!

    I know! It's amazing! So I was looking, and they had this button called "images", and I thought - :surprised: no WAY! They can't be that good! And so, I clicked it, and do you know what happened??

    Wait for it...
    It found me PICTURES!! Pictures that relate to my word that I've typed!! I was blown away. So, I guess if you type in "litter box puppy", it might retrieve information from the site you mentioned, possibly, one that has to do with tech support puppies.

    Possum,

    All the pictures you chose were from the very same site. That's why I suspected you had put them there yourself.

    Now, watch that sarcastic tone, young lady, or I'll bend you over my knee.
  13.  
    I was going to say that I thought that's what you meant from your post, but when I looked at the links they were not from the same site -

    Yeah, a friend of mine told me it was the best one, but you HAVE to see the other ones if you want it to make sense (especially the 5th, which I haven't seen. But I care not).
