Hop on over to the LBMB. See how threads with a certain number of responses have little flames (hot thread!) on them? That is what greeted us this morning after the board got upgraded to UBB v 5.42. Mercifully, they were soon turned off. * * * Livin’ on Tums, Vitamin E and Rogaine ---

What was the problem with the flaming folders? (I never got to see them, serves me right for not logging in at 5:00 am or whenever it is that truly dedicated Teeming Millions get here!) 😉 ---

Well, one problem with them was that they were set to indicate threads with 15 or more responses. Made the boards look like a forest fire. * * * Your Official Cat Goddess since 10/20/99. “We are here! You are saved!” --R. & F.
