I do have a request that I would like the programmer to consider. Can we get avatars and like 50 more smileys. That would really brighten up the place. ---

> [@Charlie\_Wayne](#): > > I will try to explain. But I donā€™t know how well I will be able to do that since it happened quite quickly - and that was my point. The designer took a good deal of \*\*their time \*\*to ensure that I would not have to use a good deal of \*\*my time \*\*when using that process. Make sense? > > I believe I was using the Search function and I had to enter some info into a child window of the main window. The child window opened and was positioned in such a way to make it line up exactly with the info in the main window. > > I doubt if you will be able to figure out exactly what I mean. However, the alignment of the child window was just perfect insofar as it made things very convenient for me to see what was going on between the two open windows - the main info block and the child window. Are you, perhaps, talking about the drop down menus on the Advanced Search page? ---

> [@Shakes](#): > > Yeah youā€™re right. And shame on the admins too, they couldnā€™t even toss **Ambivali** a membership for all that hard work he did. Oh, gosh! I always thought they were called, ā€œski bootsā€. No? Perhaps I should go back and consult my notes from my ā€œIntroduction to Windowsā€ terminology that I took back in the beginning of the 1990s? Oh, dear! That sure was a long time ago. I donā€™t think that people had even heard of the ā€œBanana Bird jokeā€ back then. Oh well, that has always been a sticky wicket to pass by. Iā€™m not sure why. I tried to Google that joke - just to see where I stood on it, and to my great surprise, it didnā€™t even make the Google index. Instead it asked me if I meant to query ā€œbanana breadā€ instead. I was plum put out by that. Who the Heck ever heard of a ā€œbanana bread jokeā€? IMO, that was just plum stupid! ---
