Sorry for moving it James, but I reckoned it was ruining the line of my lovely neat Announcements forum. (I'm thinking of dropping it altogether and using the built-in system instead actually.)

like the design Adam, nice one

Thanks James, but Gaz should take all the credit. I'm just the hacker and sysadmin, me. Although I did do the nasty stuff on phootball.com. You can tell, all my stuff is in black-and-white.

those mail add'ies on the way soon ?

We'll need a sponsor for that James. The application I want to use costs about five hundred quid; I'd need to get some nice hardware to put it on; and the bandwidth would skyrocket. So if anyone reading this fancies sponsoring us, now's yer chance.

BTW, I know Gaz missed a few images here and there - I've already spotted the ones in the private messaging system - so if anyone spots anything out of place, please let me know and we'll get onto it.

Gaz was particularly proud of the "Closed Forum" image BTW, a pity hardly anyone'll notice it (it's at the bottom of the forums homepage).

Where Joe? I added ~2500 avatars to the site and the database last night, and tested it, but I turned it off again so it shouldn't be displayed anywhere. Jeez man, I don't want no horrible superman avatar sitting next to my posts!

I'm going to enable it by the way, I just need to make some changes to the system first. I want to make it so it's easy to choose one - at the moment you just have to browse through them and hope for the best; and I want to set it up so Admins and Moderators can upload or link their own. (I'm going to use the Vetinari image from phootball.com.

There's no rush though, I have more important things in mind.

right, it was in your profile next to 'Administrator' in the 'Status' part, but it's gone now.

**pete** · 27/08/2001, 9:48 AM

Dunno if its just me but seems a bit hard to see the active threads i.e. the yellow as opposed to white ball doesn't stand out much....

My 2 pence worth anyway....

**Schumi** · 27/08/2001, 9:50 AM

I thought so too.

**dahamsta** · 27/08/2001, 9:52 AM

Thanks lads, I agree with you. I'd already sent an email to Gaz this morning asking him to fix it, so you should see it a wee bit brighter by tomorrow.

Was just wondering forum creator person how you managed to snag the FOOT.ie domain? Thought they were strick enough about irish domain? Did you have to promise it would be a site deticated to feet or foot fetishes or something?

Because foot.ie is now officially an Unincorporated Association. Yes folks, we're non-profit!

Alternative answer: Because I'm good.

**dahamsta** · 27/08/2001, 2:30 PM

PS. Y'all might want to clear your cache and hit reload a few times, I added some new icons this morning.

Well done Lads on a great site.

Veti explain clearing the cache cos I aint no IT head......

**dahamsta** · 27/08/2001, 4:16 PM

It doesn't really matter, as the stuff in your cache will expire eventually, but if you let me know what browser you're using I'll explain.

**James** · 27/08/2001, 4:20 PM

browser. whats a browser?
is that something to help u read the newspaper?

**Xlex** · 27/08/2001, 4:23 PM

Explorer 5.5... I'm an up to date kinda man

**dahamsta** · 27/08/2001, 5:24 PM

[Could be worse James, I could have called it a client, which is what it should be called...]

Xlex, click on Tools in your main menu above, then Internet Options. You'll see three panels on the first screen, the second panel being Temporary Internet Files. Click on Delete Files. (You can optionally delete all offline content by checking the box marked, well, "Delete all offline content".) Close your browser. Open it again. Do it again because Internet Explorer is a Microsoft product. Now your cache should be cleared. Possibly.
