Firefox

You may notice that this site layout is a little fatter than normal. Well, over the past couple of weeks, I have been working hard to spruce up the site a little bit. What that means is that I completely rewrote a lot of it, trying to make it a little faster and easier to deal with. I have added a lot of features none of you are ever going to notice, but oh well. A couple things, though, now you can comment on jokes (you can only get jokes if you are a member, sorry) , links look quite a bit different, and there are a lot more preferences for members. The only downside to all this change is that while moving over the new stuff I accidentally deleted some images I shouldn't have. Luckily, I was able to recover most of it, but some of you members will notice that you no longer have an icon (sorry Kathleen), but atleast it should be easier to put it back up. :)

In other news, I found the best browser ever this evening. Now I have tried quite a few, IE, Opera, and Mozilla, mainly, but I was never quite satisfied with any of them. However, tonight I got the Mozilla Firefox browser, which was just perfect (after I installed about 6 extensions). I definitely recommend that you check it out.

Oh, and I got the webcam working again.

    Uh, I had some problems when I tried to sign in, just so you know....I couldn't go to any other page in the site.

    Hmmmm, I don't know what that was about. Maybe, but I haven't ever had problems in that department. There were some errors with the jokes, but I got those fixed right quick.

    Is Firefox just the newer version of Firebird? I haven't updated mine.

    If it is, it's the same rendering engine as Mozilla. Mozilla just has a suite of apps (email, etc.) built in, whereas Firebird is just the browser.

    Also, the "login here" link on the comments page goes to a directory listing, not "login.php."

    I heard he took another website and changed the colors around.

    Well, isn't Robert the most obnoxious person in the world?

    He is also wrong. I was worried, though, when I put up this layout that people might jump to such comclusions. I can, if anyone wants me to show you the steps leading up to the creation of this website.

    Except for maybe one, I might have deleted that particular layout.

    So take that you no it all. At first I thought that maybe you posted as 'Ramona' so you could make that comment, but unless you flew all the way to Colorado College and used one of their computers that didn't happen.

    So, anyway, thanks Ramona, and poop on you Robert.

    I will give you one thing, though, Robert. The reason why it says how many days ago a post was made was an idea I got from waferbaby. That I will give to you.

    And what the heck is your icon?

    Also, I have been talking to people and apparently nobody (or none of the members) noticed that you can change layouts. Go to mypirate preferences to pick them.

    Enjoy!

    "And what the heck is your icon?"

    ...that's what I'd like to know about it. My icon got changed somehow, and then when I went to change it back I think I uploaded the wrong file.

    The waferbaby link was a joke, which was apparently taken too seriously :)

    This is the image in my icon... clearly not the one I meant to upload.

    That is a pretty neat image though.
