I wouldn't have known about this if I hadn't just happened to check the announcements thread (which I don't do very often unless I have an email notification, and usually then I only check my subscribed thread) so you might put some sort of notice in that red bar on top of the page.

Also, you might let people know that though they have 3 lines, if the text wraps (including BB code), it uses their three lines. I was going off of the standard size for the boards (knowing that mine took up 3 lines of text and two blank lines) and it kept kicking it back. So I ended up having to shorten it to my one phrase just to get it to accept it.

We are planning to put a banner up but didn't want to do it too soon since there is a 30 day delay before everyone has to be in compliance.

As a side note, I think everyone who participates in this or any other community has a responsibility to check the Announcements forum reguarly as that's where important announcements will be made.

I noticed that too, I wanted 2 lines, they both show as 1 line when done individually, but put together it is too long

with you, young lady, I feel safest not pushing anything. Everything is marked foreign and I know from past experiences with vaguely similar chassis, a push here can result in loss of teeth there.

So indeed, I shall take you at your veritable word, my young lady, and we have come out the other end with a promise to never hijack another thread and you have gotten significantly richer by my purchasing some soon to be beach front property in Kansas.

Firstly, thank you for acknowledging my lady like status a push in the wrong direction could inevitably result in more than a mere dental problem, other regions could be affected so it's safer not to go there.

I will strictly and most vehemently agree not to attempt to hijack another thread but as I'm only almost human, you may have to turn a blind eye if there's ever a slip up!

If anyone has become richer, it's you in the knowledge that I'm aiming to behave myself forthwith, and I'm signing nothing in case it incriminates me
