I set up a section for links.  You can add pages, rate them, etc.  The formatting's a little screwy but I'll fix that eventually.

If I can get this working right, I might use it as a complete replacement to PLA's links page.

I hate to call this to you're attention (because It was so wonderful being able to view a site with admin privileges) but you haven't linked the links site to the main page (as far as I know) and It still seems to be in a strange state allowing me to make changes to the page (which I haven't!)   and, btw... THERE ARE HARDLY ANY LINKS!

So RBCP fix it and everyone else go post some.  ...Or at least look at mine.

Thanks for letting me know.  I think I've got it fixed now.  I'm still messing with the links script, trying to integrate it into the rest of the site.

Posting in the shoutbox shows my username as 'poop'. This apparently happens to others too.

Also the stickied rules thread should be locked imo.

You'll notice a few differences in the messages.  I changed the avatars to allow 150 x 250 pixel images now. Before it was just 100 x 100 and it forced everything into a square.  The way it's set up now, it will refuse to let anyone use an image that's more than 150 x 250. 

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be doing a thing about the people who were already using gigantic images, so you'll notice frog's avatar is huge.  So is iloveinternet24/7's.  I'll probably remove those myself since they're causing the page to load slower, especially for dialup users.

I also added Location, Catch Phrase and Age to your visible stats.  Age doesn't seem to be working for some reason.  I'll figure that out later.  Originally, I had Declaration instead of Catch Phrase.  I don't think I like the term Catch Phrase either, though.  Anyone have any ideas on what that should be called?

Yay! I have a giant avatar and YOU can't make me change it!

...well,  actually I guess you could pretty easily...

I just changed frog's and iloveinternet24/7's so they're not huge anymore.  If anyone spots any others that are out of control, let me know and I'll replace those too.

Incidentally...I noticed that the uploads directory was broken and I couldn't upload the new avatars.  So I fixed it!  You can now upload your avatars instead of hosting them somewhere else.  You can also probably upload images, sounds, whatever into posts too.

I liked the old thing better with the bells and what not. I think it's ok without the bells but I'd rather the rest was the same.



Oh noes!!!111! My picture!

So then why does mine say "PLA" on the forehead?

It always said that!  I guess you just didn't notice because the picture was smaller.  You should think about getting your eyes checked.
