The error of my ways has been brought to my attention. When I created this area for announcements, etc, I neglected to open it for general posting. All fixed now.

I believe you ... hey , what's with the more smilies. I see stacks of them but when I click on them they don't pop up in the box here--well the code doesn't anyway. I like the white one with the red criss cross but when I click it it won't show up..LOL!

ohhhh, it's because I got flaky when I loaded them up, and accidentally lost the code to make them work right. I've been meaning to make them work properly and someday I actually will.

We had Mani Mitchel on TV over the last few weeks. A documentary about her life. (I only say her because I think she/he identifies with both gender's and I don't know the terms used---Mani was raised as a girl). Lovely person and the documentary was very moving.

I was astonished to hear that a whole village had colluded to keep the whole thing a secret. Not just family.

Have you met Mani? It showed her with ISNA folks, I think Mani recently visited US---it showed the visit...not sure how long ago it's hard to tell when these documentaries are made and how long they take to be aired.

I think you can make your own code up if it's anything like the phpBB2 board that I have. Something like:

: flaky : (no gaps) as the code and then name the smiley "Flaky" and then
select the smilie to associate with those commands from a drop down box and install? Trouble is with the one I have you have to do it one smilie at a time and you have hundreds.
