Can you find a hack so that when you enter a forum, a voice will come over the speakers saying "Welcome to (whatever the name of the forum might be)". I think that offers a friendly, warm, Wal-Marty feel to the boards. Whistling smilie faces are, of course, optional

I'll look into it.

Gary - it's my custom title for sure. If I change that to simply "test," both avatar and status turn up.
I wonder - could it be something to do with the fact that the UBB never sticks and I have to re-enter my title every time I edit the profile because the font size info turns into HTML?

Being able to edit/quote the size function is a bug I've been trying to fix for awhile now.

The culprit for most matters seems to be the single-quote character. I changed my title from "Dawnstar's brother" to "Brother of Dawnstar" and re-logged in, and my title and avatar appear. It doesn't appear to balk on period characters.
Time displays for me only as Current Time, but I'm on Pacific time, as are Gary and the server.
The fader still doesn't fade, even after that change -- it displays the three text items in turn, full intensity. It worked in Netscape 7.02 (based on Mozilla 1.1). It now doesn't work, for me, in Netscape 7.1 (Mozilla 1.4).
I'm not that much of a fader-effect fan, as it may be slightly slowing the response time (as did the animated starfield background of some weeks ago). But I'm noting it, anyway.
I thought the fader may be one of those Netscape's-unique-HTML-quirks issues, but Gary said in tonight's Shoutbox that he could see it with v7.1.

Nope. You're right. Since I only logged on enough to check real quick, I didn't noticed that it wasn't fading just showing the words. This fader.js is supposed to work on all the major browsers. Obviously v7.1 has made some changes since then.

[Sanity or Madness?] {[...] And this has come up before, it's not as if it's a purely theoretical thing. (God, I'm starting to sound like Grey. Please, someone, shoot me in the head ...) (Not literally, BTW)}
I resemble that remark! ;)
I'm really that much of a grouse? You're catching up and surpassing me these days, amigo ... 'tis the nature of bug reports, though. Don't shoot the messenger, even when it's via AOL Instant Messenger {g}

The front-page Current Time display seems to be 12 hours off, as it's now displaying 12:18:00 AM (PDT), where it should be 12:18 PM. Time stamps are otherwise correct for the forums, posted messages, and edited messages.
(By the way, I've posted a few notes here in SPHQ about such bugs and board hacks so that they'll have a record, and not to "shout" about them twice to get them noticed. Gary notices things quickly. What's posted in the front-page Shoutbox, though, evaporates pretty quickly with new shouts being added ... unless the shouts are archived?)

Oh, now THAT is strange ... it's 1:10 PM (PDT), and the Current Time display now says, you guessed it, 1:10 PM, as it ought to.
Whatever script creates this time display is parsing the hour after noon as being "AM"! (And, presumably, the hour after midnight as being "PM".) Yoicks!
Methinks somebody "sold" Gary a lemon of a Current Time script *sigh*
