Okay, I keep complaining (and whining!) about not having enough time for everything I want and need to do. Some of you may not have noticed that, but it's true, I do complain (and whine...a lot!).

So now I've noticed one more 'delay' that is costing me even more time...which brings me to my 'time saving' question!

What the heck happened with the 'More' smilies page?? Used to be, I'd open it and it would stay 'available' the whole time I was on the message board. It would just be down on the bottom of my computer screen, patiently waiting to be used the next time. All those little smilie faces just waiting down there till I needed them on my next posting. NOW, they go away each time I post and I have to click on 'More' again and wait for them all to 'appear' each time I do a new reply. What a waste of time, I need my smilies available all the time!

Okay, enough complaining and whining, better get off here and get to work. I would have posted more replies but....hey....I had to wait for all those smiles to reappear!! Opps, that sounded like more complaining and whining, didn't it....sorry!! Deborah

Hummm they have always been in the more box, or less lol.....at least on my incompetent computer !

Not sure what is going on, but last night and again today, the site is extremely slow? When I post a reply it takes a looong time to post? site or my computer?

Last night site slow????You bet it was! For a while it took 3 full mintues to even gain access. And thats not dial up either, but seems ok today. TOM H

I have had trouble posting this past few days...I log in, write a message, and when I submit it, it kicks me back out--tells me to log in that I'm not allowed to post replys, and the next message says the board isn't accepting any new postings at this time! What's the deal?

And this may have been asked before and I missed it, but what's the significance of the colored dots after our names?

"And this may have been asked before and I missed it, but what's the significance of the colored dots after our names?"

I was wondering that too.........maybe it is a CIA tracking device..............you realize we all have more knives than the "normal" citizen........

[Hi_Ho_Sliver]

if you put your cursor on it, it says online or offline....so if you are offline and want to be sure you are off line, come on here and put your cursor on the dot, it will say you are online, but then you will have to go offline so the dot says you are offline and you will have to come back on to check and make sure................errr is that perfectly clear?

It's a really frightening thing, but I do understand!!! Even scarrier is that it makes sense...sorta. I think someone defined it several months ago, but you know my senior citizen memory--Ican hide my own Easter eggs!

Personally, I like Gilly explanation better...at least it makes a better story to tell our grandkids...CIA or FBI or Secret Service knows how dangerous we all are and it's a tracking device implanted in our sharp knives to keep track of us.

Thanks guys; you made my day start with a chuckle.
