This thread needs to go to the game room. Or maybe MPSIMS.

If you all were more entertaining, you’d be a health hazard.

I think I’ve got the tools all figured out. What I can’t figure out is why it posts my signature every time, when I’ve got it turned off. Oh well, of course everyone went and read every last juicy drop on my blog, I assume.

Thanks.

I think the sig thing is a bug. I’ll probably report it and see IMMEDIATE RESULTS!
