the little cartoon type ballon the would come up when you rested your cursor on a thread/ topic tittle that would tell you what the thread was about before you clicked on the thread? That way when you saw the first sentence contain 40 words like mine just did you could move on without wasting anymore time.
It was there before the big switch but seems to have disappeared.

They are called, "hover balloons" and Packey is working on that to find out where they went, plus a few other things that disappeared when he updated the software. Hang tight, he's knocking them off one at a time.
Thanks for bringing that to our attention. If anything has changed since we moved, let us know, even if we already know about it, we want to hear from all of you.

Not really, it is on our list of things that need to be restored. The problem with updating software is that they don't tell you what features are affected, some good, some not so good. Packey has several of these on his "to-do" list, so hang in there.
As far as the chat room, it was dropped for a couple of reasons. First, the one we were using is no longer supported, that means, like Win98, there can be problems that won't be addressed so it's better to change. Secondly, we know that some of you use the chat room, but we're not sure that's enough to justify the effort it takes to keep it going. Even then, it is on the list for us to take another look at once we've taken care of some of these other issues.

T Dream on.... the thing is that we really don't know what's down in the basement. We lost the key a few years ago and no one knows how to work the lock. We're open for suggestions, but in the meantime, we've got a third pigeon coop where we have a set of tiddly winks and half a Monopoly board with some of the pieces. :ugeek:

Down in the basement behind a door with a lock no one knows how to work is a 10 year supply of Kit-Kat candy bars.It was put there to protect them from Ed which was fine till someone in upper managent dropped the key down the Loo and did not realize it till after they pulled the chain.

We don't know, it's so dark down there we can't tell if there's one or not.
