The TEST Thread.

[Powerhouse]

Just testing...

[agentorange]

Your test failed. We're going to have to retest.

***restesting in progress.... please do not unplug or turn off the machine....***

[Powerhouse]

Just testing sigline option. That works. :)

[Emily]

How did you get that number? When I click on the members list I can either see it in alphabetical order or by number of posts but not order of joining. :confused:

[Powerhouse]

Looks like everything works. Just waiting on the avatar function. Good work, ross!

[Powerhouse]

How did you get that number? When I click on the members list I can either see it in alphabetical order or by number of posts but not order of joining. :confused:

Right click over your ID in your post, from the dropdown list select 'properties', in that popup box will be a URL which at the end of it has your member number. :)
(Also works on other ID's to see their membership enrollment number)

My message was too short???

Damn, I'm number 71. That's what I get for watching the tv instead of the Ross show :D

[Powerhouse]

Yea, 10 character minimum - I am sure ross will get around to changing that but he is probably up to his elbows in VBAdmin.

[Emily]

OMG! :eek:

I'm #69

Bwahaha!

[Powerhouse]

OMG! :eek:

I'm #69

Bwahaha!

I'm SO jealous! Wanna trade? :D

[bladepusher]

Hi!!!!!!!!! :D

[wasabanker]

What was that old adage about being careful what you ask for, Emily?

[agentorange]

I think there should be a minimum post requirement to prevent people from constantly responding in gifs. Sometimes a thread will have 500 replies, and 300 of those are one poster spamming with one gif quips.

[Powerhouse]

Another test.

1. Sorry! The administrator has specified that users can only post one message every 30 seconds.

CRAP! ROSS! Another function to fix!!! :eek:

[Powerhouse]

Ooo, Base - We're 'Deacons' now! :D

When do I reach 'Pope'? :D

[agentorange]

He must have set up automatic titles, but some people still say "junior member". Deacon, woohoo~! :eek:

[Powerhouse]

Hi!!!!!!!!! :D

VINNY!!!!!! Glad you made it! :)

[Emily]

Wow. This just gets better and better. Say the number 69 and Vinny shows up.

Hi!!!!!

[Powerhouse]

Damn! With Vinny, ross is up to 84 members already - assuming there are not too many 'socks' already. :eek:

[YourDesigns]

Testing 1 2 3. OH this is how you use a computer and a message board. Duh!

[juliatheena]

:D

This is cool.

[Powerhouse]

YourDesigns = 87 ! :eek: Damn, he is building a crowd FAST! :eek:

[Powerhouse]

Love your sigline, julia - I want to steal it. :D

[YourDesigns]

Saw it on Mad-Cows.com, thought it was too damn funny that Rossy had ezboard shut him down, and had to move to vbulletin which other have been running successfully for years.

I can't stop laughing. :)

[juliatheena]

:D Love your sigline, julia - I want to steal it

Know where I got that? My 11 yr old son got it out of a sticker machine at the airport in Honolulu.

I immediately thought it the perfect sig line!

[Powerhouse]

I didn't think it very funny - but very timely, I think he only had like 20 days before he was due for renewal, according to the $503 community chest he had before EZthief came through and locked it all down. :(

[Emily]

Testing, testing 1,2,3 :)

[Powerhouse]

Guess I need to run out to my local airport sticker machine then. :D

[YourDesigns]

THAT makes it even more funny, PH!

Goes to show you can't trust even the most "professional" and large companies now can you?

[Powerhouse]

Hey, Emily - can you make the 6 blue and the 9 pink? ;)

[bladepusher]

ross is up to 84 members already - assuming there are not too many 'socks' already. :eek:


Good to see you to Mike!

It shouldn't take long for TRB to be back in full force.

Forgot to add that all my socks are in the dresser. ;)

[Powerhouse]

Well put them through the wash before you bring them here, Vinny - nothing worse than a bunch of dirty socks running around. ;)

[Emily]

How is this? Better? :D

[YourDesigns]

Oh, I can't handle much more.

[Powerhouse]

LOL!!! Wonderful, Emily. A classic. :D

[Luvcats]

Carp. After all these years of being luvcats, you'd think I could at least spell it. I've pmed Ross to ask him how to fix my user name, but if anyone else knows how, please tell me.

[YourDesigns]

luvcats, either sign up a new account, or Ross has to fix it. WAIT, a tech working for the vast Ross Empire has to fix it.

[lol1uk]

testing testing 123

[rossshow]

Fixed that, Luvcats

[Maison Rustique]

Ooooh! I'm 41 again! Guess I'd better show it off! :1flasher:

[gm8549]

My very first post ever to TRB. Never registered on any EZboard.
Glad to see this back so soon.

Now if some nice person can tell me how to set the time correctly?
It's now 7:34 pm here,but the board shows me 9:34 am !

I'm certain I chose the right zone.

[Emily]

The time has been wonky for me too. I figure we just need to give Ross time to "tweak" everything.

[tarisa]

Testing...

[YourDesigns]

Sorry, it doesn't work. Trying going to OTWA.com.

[tarisa]

One more test...

[gm8549]

Thanks Emily. When I checked OTWA,it was fine. Guess it will get fixed at some point.

And while you're here,just wanted to say,I have always enjoyed your posts.

[Roidoulis]

Here I go again... :1headspin

[bluekazoo]

I'm not testing anything in here ...

I was going to reinstate my original sig line from AW all those years ago, but after I found it, I realized it just didn't quite fit like it used to ..

However, while looking, I did find the perfect one for Ross, except of course, he probably thinks sig lines are a waste of bandwidth or something ...

Anyway, here's to ya, Ross ... it's old Hunter T ... and it's just right for you on Opening Day:

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!

[sibs ling]

I'm feeling very old at 113!

[Emily]

[Powerhouse]

Are you working on a record??? :p

[Emily]

anyone else want to play? Mike?

[Roidoulis]

Yeah, that 30 second rule is a pain in the ass.

[Emily]

oh, you already are! Good for you.

[blondieia]

LOL, I keep checking to see if you've messed up the thread yet.

[Emily]

ho de hum dum dum

[Emily]

well, if the board is going to break, better to find out before something REALLY important is posted, right?

[Roidoulis]

ooompa loompa

[Powerhouse]

Still going.

[Emily]

Yeah, that's what I thought!

[Powerhouse]

Man. This 30 second rule has GOT to go! :(

[Luvcats]

Thank you Ross, thanks for the advice LD.

[Powerhouse]

Agh - 10 more to go.

[Emily]

I can't go to sleep until SOMEBODY hits 100 <wink>

[Powerhouse]

Ok, getting closer...

[Emily]

Go POWERHOUSE Go !!!!

[blondieia]

7 or 8 more until his promotion!

[Powerhouse]

Anticipation..... :1tantrum:

[Emily]

[Powerhouse]

7 more of them...

[Emily]

OMG what if it does? I'll be here all night trying to catch up! LOL

[blondieia]

OMG, we'll have to wait here all night!

[Powerhouse]

[Emily]

[Powerhouse]

Hey - I'm going as fast as this board allows - which ain't saying much!

[blondieia]

Woo hoo, five more posts! (I need to get a life methinks)

[Emily]

it doesn't take much to thrill me ;)

[Powerhouse]

Ok,,, 4 more to go.... Is everybody watching???

[Emily]

BWAHAHA snicker

[Powerhouse]

And on page 13 too... hope this is worth it.

[blondieia]

I can hardly contain myself!

[Emily]

Hell I'm watching! What else is there to do during the 30 second wait?

[Powerhouse]

Closer and closer...

[Emily]

Holding my breath.....

[Powerhouse]

Ok, patience now... :1drummer1

Until then: All Hail the first TRS ArchDeacon! :1jester:

[Roidoulis]

My feet hurt.

[Emily]

HAIL HAIL HAIL :1neko5:

[Emily]

Maybe I'll get my posts to 69 and leave it there ;)

[Powerhouse]

That was interesting, and frustrating with the 30 second rule.

[Roidoulis]

Blondeia is catching up to me.

[Roidoulis]

The 30 second rule and the 10 character limit makes it a challenge! LOL

Hey, Emily - your halfway to ArchDeaconship yourself - you go, girl!

[Emily]

I was only going to go to 69, but if you keep waving those pompoms cheering me on...

[Emily]

Hey, I have a hot lunch date on Friday

[Emily]

but that's all I'm going to say about it

[Emily]

I'll let the fellow I'm meeting divulge the details

[Emily]

Awwwww fudge.

[Emily]

[Emily]

I was cleaning the fishtank today and...nah, that's boring

[Emily]

Oh, I spoke to LesS on the phone today and he is well.

[Powerhouse]

Well, ya gots 30 seconds between posts to think up SOMETHING to post, ya know. :p

[Emily]

Ummm, helped my dad pick up hay this afternoon. That was hot.

[Emily]

And scratchy.

[marble]

:1ross_mon

[Emily]

But I'm tough.

[Emily]

I would have preferred running the bailer, though.

[Emily]

But I'm not too good with the kicker.

[Powerhouse]

Only 19 or so to go!

[Roidoulis]

strangers in the night...

[Emily]

Which is exactly why I SHOULD be using the bailer

[marble]

[Powerhouse]

Kind of hard to do it this way, eh, Emily?

[Emily]

Damn, I forgot what I was going to say.

[Emily]

I'm starting to nod off between posts.

[marble]

Wow I put six guitar ladies in my post and it told me that was too may icons.

Interesting.

[Emily]

Geez, I'd better apologize to anyone who actually reads this whole thing!

[Emily]

How many more?

[Powerhouse]

[Emily]

Am I gonna get a party or a surprise or...

[Powerhouse]

She's about to cross the finish line!!!! :1clap5:

[Emily]

will I be beheaded?

[Roidoulis]

You're so close ! I am jealous.

[Emily]

Too many smilies. Couldn't find the right one. Sigh

[Powerhouse]

YEA! Go for it!!!

[Emily]

You guys will all pass me in a day

[Emily]

Except for you know who who is so far ahead he'll hit 200 by sunup

[Powerhouse]

Yea, but 1 day is all you need. :D

[Emily]

Anyway, I won't be here at all on Friday

[Powerhouse]

Not me, dear. I'm just here to see it done.

[Emily]

unless my date brings a laptop

[Emily]

Aren't you just dying to know who it is?

[Powerhouse]

[Emily]

Okay, you can all breathe a sigh of relief. I won't post any more tonight in THIS thread ;)

How do you insert smilies? Double clicking doesn't work, and dragging doesn't either. I'm confusers.

While your cursor is blinking in the text area of your reply, just move the mouse over a symbol you want to include and click once on it and it will place the text code of that symbol in the text box where the cursor was flashing.

Where is george? I know he has been away a lot lately, hope he can follow the trail of breadcrumbs over here.
Anyone have his email that wants to let him know?

Type :1meds2 then add a : to it and you get :1mesd2:

Arh - typo, trying again for you.

Type :1meds2 and add a : at the end of it and you get :1meds2:

Is "Somebody" gong to hit 200 posts before the evening is over? Sure looks like it to me! :D

[Powerhouse]

You or me - I'm more than willing to let you take it, but you don't post as much. :(

I don't think anything changes for awhile anyway, the sequence seems to be:

Acolyte 1-9
Deacon 10-99
ArchDeacon 100-?

Statistically it would seem that the next level is at 1000 posts.

[Emily]

Geez no, not me. I've called enough attention to myself already! :1eek2:

[Powerhouse]

Well, with a number like that you are bound to garner attention - for your entire TRS life! :1chirol_k Better get used to it now. :D

[confusers]

Arh - typo, trying again for you.

Type :1meds2 and add a : at the end of it and you get :1meds2:

[Powerhouse]

You are certainly welcome, confusers. :1neko:

[Powerhouse]

Ok, Emily, 200 and no change. NEXT!

[Emily]

Waving goodbye as you leave me in the dust...

I can play for a few more minutes tonight, but then I have to go and won't be back until after my date ;)

I bet a lot of folks will pass my post count by the time I return. <sigh>
