That’s the question, because if I try to do it, says that I don’t have permission. ---

So if birthdays can be inserted in the calendar, does that mean I don’t have to do any more MBT’s? Hmm. ---

If the calendar _does_ stay, **Flami** , I don’t see why you couldn’t still do the birthday threads. After all, they’re a really nice shout out to those with birthdays for that month. A lot of folk seem to like them. Count me among that number. 🙂 ---

Hey, this email notification thing gives you the text of the post! Cool stuff… I think I like this particular feature, and hope it stays through all the tweaks. 😃 **Ice Wolf** : You got what I was talking about, all right. (though it was hard not to miss, what with my recent thread in this forum testing out all the colors and stuff 😃 ) ---

Heh. You’re known for your MBTs, **Flami**. That, plus the calendar (which is quite cool), led me to get what you were talking about. 🙂 ---

All right then. 🙂 Whether that knowledge is good or bad, I don’t know. But I guess it’s stuck in the head of at least one of you lot. 😉
