Hello, all.

I haven't read a single post in this thread, but is there any way we can get a notification when someone posts on our wall? It doesn't even need to pop up on the screen, but just a notification in the upper right corner? I post on some other sites using vBulletin and they have this feature enabled. Thanks...

I think that was brought up before. If I remember correctly, the general consensus was that it's not hard or time consuming in any way to just click the User CP link to check for new notifications.
If you subscribe to threads, you're likely going to be in there a lot anyway.

It's not hard, I just forget and then "ignore" people's posts on my wall for days at a time...

but if you're a user like me who only hits 'new posts' and scrolls through all the active threads you never actually notice anything about the user CP and the whole thing is wasted until you see a comment reminding you it even exists.

now i have to answer a question from Vegangelica from July and one from Dayvan Cowboy from last month.

I don't think that's something the website developers need to work on.

Just a thought...

Makes sense. But then again, we've been trying for a long time to get more important things implemented and they either haven't gone through or have been denied outright. I doubt something like this request is going to be addressed.

V&F! You...you can be so polite! I'm...shocked!

I do agree with the visitor message notification bit. It took mr dave 3 months 2 weeks and 3 days to reply to my visitor message that I sent. I was testing how often he checks his visitor messages, since he is notoriously tardy. A little notification at the top might help the boy.

After all, we wouldn't want members burning their pretty little fingers, would we?

Hot pink would definitely NOT be a wise choice for the MB skin. I did a little research and found out that the color would be neither healthy nor safe!

It turns out that people who view hot pink for an average of 30 minutes per day after several weeks have around a 23% reduction in their IQs (using the standard IQ test). Luckily the effect was reversible, but still, who wants to be dummed down? Even worse, the hot pink viewers were 10% more likely to experience irritability and commit a violent crime than viewers shown other colors. I might even suspect that you yourself, right-track, may have unfortunately painted several walls in your home a scalding hot pink color, not knowing of its detrimental effect!

As for the social impact of hot pink, I'd say the demeaning aspect toward women is fairly well balanced by the uplifting benefit of hot pink representing gay pride. So, the negatives and positives even out.

Here, you can test this phenomenon yourself. Do the positives of the gay pride triangle and the negatives of a tight hot pink shirt and shades cancel each other out in this picture?



Yes. Yes I think they do. All I see is a pleasant, smiling young woman with perky nipples. I'm hardly aware of the color she is wearing at all!

I do think she is wearing a bra, though. BONDAGE!!!

Hahaha I'm honestly a nice person I just tend to be overly honest with other people...

That's why PMs are always better than visitor messages.
