thats more like it. I didnt mean to sound so harsh, i just didnt like the fact that the BM posts were flooding the forum

btw the tp smilie got updated

Speaking your mind and being a smart ass are two different things. "This isn't working" or "There are too many updates" or "The board's getting flooded" is different than "wow.. this is the worst addition I've seen... I'm getting really annoyed. ", especially in a small thread where I'm already publically acknowledging a work-in-progress and inviting participation. Hecho and Allan wouldn't make your post.... I would have a least gotten a crazy ass Sabbath picture (or che) out of Hecho. ADD? Maybe but I would have replied the same and just as pissed off, as I have done in a thread or two. The fact is you have a position of familiarity, otherwise I would have just deleted the post or dismissed it for n00bom. It takes a lot of time to do ANYTHING new and I'm not going to take unconstructive bullshit from someone in said position.

I'll fix the tp smiley. I hadn't noticed. I've also got to rehack my template to restore the normal bar. Also some minor image work for new buttons that aren't in my custom set..... that should probably be it for the effects of the upgrade.

This is a fucking great idea. vbulletin won't do it but I know how to do it for the most part via custom code/hack.

Thread title would be something like "Blabbermouth Update: TimeDate Stamp"... inside the post would the title / summaries... each of these updates would probably have just a handful of stories... have it update like four or five times a day....

How many of these threads would you all want to see on a given time? How often to update?

what about one thread called 'blabbermouth news" or something like that, and the updates would be like replies to that one thread

Maybe a weekly thread would be more convenient. I dunno.
