Things I'm working on

You will see very small changes over the next few days.
Maybe even weeks.
So far I haven't had much time to post any pictures but that's going to change real soon.
First step is to get some cute smiles added. Which I have been slowly adding.

You may see an advertising at the top I don't at the moment but apparently I will need to buy credits to get it removed. This is how they can offer free forums I guess.
So we'll see how annoying it gets and if needed I'll pay them to take it away.

Do you like the layout? I've tried about 4 different ones and personally this is the nicest so far.
I can play around with different colors but I kinda like the greyish tones. But if you have preference let me know.

Okay so post anything you would like to see on YOUR favorite bird board

I think it looks great! The ads don't bother me at all.

Let me know if they start annoying you okay.

shhhhh...I'm using firefox with NoScript...I have no ads

On another note - I changed preferences on my profile (added a signature, turned off automatic emails) but none of those seem to be working

I noticed that the auto-email thing seems to be something you have to do with each post. Each post seems to be set to automatically "follow". Next time you visit a post, on the very top right, you will see a drop down box of actions. Just stop following the post. Should stop the emails.

Oh good point Karen thanks

Andrea I am going to check the signature settings to make sure it's set right in the admin panel.

Seems you have to click on attach signature after every post

I made a change in my profile.
Lets see if my signature attaches this time

Made another change in my profile to see if the box is checked to notify me whenever a new reply is made to a post.
Checking

Checking

YES it's gone

Okay we're getting there now
If anyone needs help with any of these settings let me know

I have a sig!

Going to see if I can fix Karen's now
I think I have all her birds on here

Mine is working already!

I see that
So I just went and added the rest of my birdies

YAY! Everybirdy got to the new board okay

I'm only going to add the bird smilies as people join.
That is something that I know is limited so gotta keep space for only the active members

Some of us later than others, but what else is new?

YAY you made it.

Yeah!!! Chris is here!!

I was too dumb to remember to check my e-mail for instructions on how to join up!

that wasn't dumb! Just overlooked

Okay now Catherine should have an avatar, will work on getting some of her smilies back now

Hey do you guys like the portal page showing the most recent posts or do you want me to remove it?

For some reason some of our smilies went away

ALL of our smileys went away! :O
