Coloured Blobs ??

[Steve Ashton]

Ladies and Gentlemen, There is no reason for anyone to get a twist in their Kilt.

The little colored things were part of what the software calls "Reputation".
In a small forum or one with very little activity it can be used as a sort of reward or status system.

It has never been activated on this forum for the simple reason that some of you have already discovered. If you have a friend you simply click on his scales and his reputation goes up. If you have an enemy the reputation goes down just as easily.

To my way of thinking it is pretty stupid.

But my code guy and I were going through the entire site last night looking for possible conflicts in preparation for an update to the site. We were checking everything. Turning stuff on, turning it off. We simply forgot to turn this one off after we were done.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. But at least some of you got some laughs out of it.

Aliens

So just what are you saying - They are aliens. - You've seen aliens. - You want aliens. - We are all aliens. Or is it a Spartacus moment 'I am an Alien'. Will we ever find out - bring on the probes.

I'm getting confused and scared. We're mutating...

I am not at all sure what all this mutual backslapping and backstabbing(sorry I can't find the right kind word)is supposed to do. Fun and useful it is supposed to be, no doubt, nevertheless it is just one more complication to this technodunce.

The blob tells you whether the member is online or not....or, it's an alien.

You're looking at the other blob...

One of the things that has become apparent with the change of ownership is that the underlying computer code has been customized to some extent, which make maintenance more difficult. Steve is trying to bring the system back to a stable platform that makes administration easier.

While this is happening, we will see some odd things like this little green box pop up. Once we figure out what causes this to occur and what to do about it, we'll let you know.

So it is Aliens! Jack Daw, I am so sorry for doubting you. You obviously have a talent for this alien spotting
