OK, I typed this in once... and it disappeared...
It was great, but now it's gone...
Anyways...
Firstly, want to tell Erin Grace that I am sorry that I missed her singing tonite. I thot it would only take 15 min to update this software, but nooooooo... I hope to catch her next week...
Secondly, I want to fill you in on what's new around here:
- Instant Messaging! This is another step towards better communication. If you have ICQ, or Yahoo's Messenger, or AIM (or an AOL screen name) go into your
profile and add that info. Now, when you read someone's post you can click on the button (at the bottom of this thread, like my aim and icq buttons) to send them an instant message (if you already have that software installed too). Not the best solution, but better...
- Smilies!

Now it is easier to put those little smiley faces into your posts. When you type a message, click on the smiley button up there next to the spell check button (yes, steven, I am working on that too, patience, grasshopper, patience..). A little box will pop-up, choose which smiley you like ( I will be adding more ) and click on its picture - the code is automagically pasted into your message. You can still do them the old-fashioned way too...
-
who's online ,
private messages , and
member list has been updated, and a few more features added themselves...
- now, when you type in a message at the end of a thread, you are sent to the end of the thread where your message appears, instead of the beginning. very helpful in those threads that get to be 7-8 pages long... (I know a few who will love this one the most...

).
- layout has been changed a little, in preparation for the redesign that is still in the works...
- some other stuff I will discuss as I get them ready for you...
there, I told you the first post was better, and
much funnier... let me know if you have any questions...
