;^) Heh. Even from my cellophone I can see the green word "online" next to your username. That's a welcome featture.

[Edit]
;^) Ahhhh, the "Thanks" button works over cell phone, too. Way cool.

:^/ Hmmmm, you know what? On my cellophone while waiting for the bus the user ID part of each post looked pretty clean and simple. However, now that I've switched to my laptop, having each segment in its own box make it look cluttered. The orange background is nice, though, except for the green "Online" text being hard to read.

[Edit]
;^) Oh, hey! I just noticed the animate envelope for PM's now. That's a real attention grabber....

@RIP

;^) Heh. Thanks for beign cool about the caps bot....

:^/ Another note of feedback for Dex and Smitty: I like the little cell phone graphics on the front page, but I've only seen it one color. The old one had separate images to indicate whether there were new posts or not, and I miss that.

They help a little bit. It brought in 3.50 since we started it this weekend. lol

I think it helps more though with being recognized by Google. I see the Google bots on here a lot. The more they come here and the more info we add, the more rep our site gets.

Mr._Pseudonym
02-24-2010, 09:42 PM
;^) You're correct that evrything that gets our name out there is a good thing. Interestingly, the google ads don't show up on my treo. Perhaps Opera Mini's proxy is weeding them out as it reformats the pages.

:^/ The chatterbox feature is good, but it doesn't work for Opera Mini on PalmOS. The little snd button after the input gadget isn't useable. Perhaps it'll work on Blazer, Palm's built-in browser.

Well i have implemented more improvements i removed the donation link from the footer and placed it in the quickbar i also implemented the donation goal meter i spoke with smitty and he told me that its 75 for hosting so i decided that would be the amount set every month for the donation meter so we can at least get hosting paid for by all members now mind u i made donations my self u can ask smitty that i did so dont think i dont help out with just he cosmetics and features of the site i do a lot more. Coming soon i will be tryin to implement an arcade system so that if ur bored at work u can play flash games right here on the forum so what can i say enjoy the new add ons

We are also looking into advo for dealers on the site me and smitty are in negotiation about the amounts but we will keep u posted
