Deb, it must be your screen size for the smileys... Mine are still AFU

It is not posible from the server standpoint to show messed up on one machine and not another. The icons are fixed. If your icons are not showing up properly then you need to refresh or clear your internet cache. Your system may be pulling from temp internet files which are still showing the old messed up icons.

I hope others will respond to this thread, on how the performance of the board seems to be functioning. It seems good from all the tests I have been running. Usually early in morning was the worst, I have been running reports 5 times a day, and I show a very low load since the changes have been made.

Cleared my cache & my wink smiley still looks warped. It's also a different color then the others. Did you replace all but that one? I'll clear again & reboot tonight & see if it's better tomorrow.

As for performance of the site. I haven't had any issues or problems getting on the site in weeks so I guess ya done good!  :-D

Thanks!!!!!

Jack has it busy full time....  :-D.

Jon, all my smileys are good now except the wink, he is a little skewed.   They are green instead of yellow, but who cares...  :roll:

Jon:

   Everything has been trouble-free for the last several weeks.

   My smileys are as Stainless1 described.

Status report from Marquette, Michigan: 

I haven't been greeted by the busy-signal page recently, and I don't have any complaints at all about how the system is working.  I don't use the smiley things -- so won't make a comment on them.  I don't use the spell-check, either, since I deliberately misspell some words and I get frustrated when the spell check program (yours or any one that I find) won't let me click to ignore.  Or maybe this one does have that feature -- I don't use it.

Whatever, the system seems to be agreeing with this iMac/Firefox user.  Thanks once again, Jonathon.

Hey, hey HEY!  Thanks, Jonathon -- I see that the photo gallery is back in operation.  I, like I expect others do, enjoy being able to click and enlarge the thumbnails that show up on the home page.  Glad it's back.

On the build diaries in australia we are seeing this and wandering if it's meant to be there

I dunno if it's just because It is one of my posts but I've noticed in the post at the top of this page that the word "CRACK" is highlighted in green and underlined ....when I ran a cursor over it a little ad popped up that said "...need a personal loan?"........aw gee come on  I've already got an expensive habit .


Dr Goggs was going on about this and I'm getting it too
It looks a bit like

The pop-ups that happen when you pass the cursor over certain words is a new advertising technique -- wherein a particular word is "sold" to an advertiser, who pays the site to have his ad pop up.  I read about it a month or two ago -- but don't remember the specific name.  It's on many websites now.

Whatever -- I'd hope that this new revenue stream is working for Jonathon and that when something pops up -- if it's interesting, follow it and see if you want to partake of the product or service listed.

Am I right, Jonathon?

Here's a new minor problem I've noticed recently, Jon.  When I go to the site and am ready to login I get the "Welcome, Guest" invitation to log in.  I am used to being able to type the first letter of my login routine and the machine fills in the rest automatically.

Now, though, at least half the time it does not do that for me.  But - if I go to one of the topics and attempt to enter the login stuff there -- all works just dandy, automatically, etc.

Is it me, or is it a farkle in the system?  I'm assuming it's my fault but I'd like some reassurance.  Thanks, and Happy New Year.

I would blame it on your Mac and everyone will understand  :evil:.

I think the water cooling system on his old mac has frozen up and slowed down the memory, ya know it's way up north and even the snow plow has a hard time getting out of the garage when there is 8 feet of snow blocking the door.  :roll:
