I personally love it, I'm really glad that we have it. If I had to move it, I'd move it in the title bar, just right of the Date and Time.
I like THAT solution, too.Quote:

This:
Happy
Happy
Happy
Looks better than:
Happy
Happy
Happy
The first one has a symmetrical look to it which is more aesthetically pleasing.
okay. It now is what it is..... :)
I've put too much time into moving it already, so I'm going to leave it as it is.
Brad!
Feel free to rep me if you like it!
Yea, that looks better.
I just want to know if we're supposed to start using TS instead of OP now? :rolleyes:
Yes, we deviated.... We are dealing (mostly) with programmers, so hopefully most of them will figure out what Thread Starter means even though we normally use OP/Original Poster..... Based on what I've seen, we might lose a few though.....:bigyello: :eek:Quote:

In other forums I visit they usually call them TS, I only visit a very few forums but it seems only here in VBF that we call them OP.Quote:

Ah well that makes sense. As far as I know, all the forums I ever visited are American.
We used "Thread Starter" because that is what was in the code that our tech person found and hacked into the forum. It doesn't sound like anyone has a super strong opinion, so I'm going to leave it as is and call this topic closed. You can call me the Thread Closer :)
Frankly, thread starter is more clear than OP, so it's a good change.
Of course, now we need a member whose name is simply: Elliot.
I don't get it :( There's a pun somewhere in there isn't there ? ;)Quote:

I was going to include the answer... but I'll just wait for the E.T. references instead... because I jsut know someone's going to get it wrong...

T.S Eliot, he was a famous poet.
Awww DDay ruined it.... :( :P

That was it ? Seems a little obscure to me. Should I feel bad that I didn't know there was someone important called T.S. Eliot ?
Depending on where you're from... and even then, only if you're an English Lit Major...

Well I did English lit in secondary school for CXC so maybe I should be a little ashamed ;)
Considering he wrote the 'book' for Cats (better known as Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats when it was just a book) I don't think you can excuse anyone on the grounds of either of those!Quote:

Yeah, something like that!:sick:
