What do you think of the new board features?

Thanks! My sysadmin is pretty strict about blocking incoming email from domains that may have once ever sent him some spam. That includes hotmail, yahoo, aol and most any free mail site you can think of

Is your avatar's address...I sent an e-mail but it was refused I guess because of your settings.

The listing of who's on might be better suited to the bottom of the forum list, but that's a matter of taste vs usefulness... If it were at the bottom it might not ever be seen by those who just reply to new threads. So its probably better off where it is.

Overall though pretty slick, but I gotta say that the default avatars suck. *lol*

Well, SJ is a National Security Advisor, which is almost as high as you can get.

And about avatars, you can upload them to shrapnel, to save your own server space. If you click on this link, you can still upload stuff to shrapnel.

Just use the url that it gives you in your profile, where it says "Use Custom URL".

Who knows? Minister of war for us Commonwealth Countries or Head of Joint Chiefs for the US?

(I know they are not the same things but both of them high up the ladder.)

It now takes me 2x to 4x longer to load a page....You guys accessing on company T1s don't have to worry about banwidth, but us living in the Qwest induced technological suckhole do. I thought waiting 45 to 90 secs. for a page to load before was bad, now I can see I won't be reading very much here. Bells and whistles. Besides, It cheapens the special effort people went into to get pics on their sig before. Why do I care if someone else in logged on? I'd rather have my privacy. Pic for "Poll" and a couple at the page bottom are not loading.
