oohhh... and THANK YOU for the PLONK!!!
True.

I am feeling really wishy washy today so please no one offer me the poison kool-aide.

Let's work this out right away so I don't have to stay up all night.

I accidentally turned off message pop ups when I turned off general pop ups on my machine.

This was interesting. It said I had new messages waiting, but when I checked, I got an error message and my browser was then shut down and restarted. I did, however, get the message in my email folder. I'm on Cripto's buddy list! woo hoo!

Hey buddy!

Here is another way I had found the blank pop-up. I went to my PM Inbox. I then clicked the link to the E-Playa Forum Index and there it was again.

I got dumped when I was trying to deal with my messages and contacn management. I pressed quote to reply to your question and kept getting something telling me that that document or file or something was empty when I was off line. I finally closed all netscape windows and logged in again.

Any pop ups that I get are blocked by my blocker thing-a-ma-jig. I do get a new, smaller window that opens when I add a buddy, but it seems to be working just as it is intended.

btw--I love the longer pages. 42 may be too long, but 15 was definately tooooo short.

So that explains the pop-ups ;)

By the way I know you will be flooded with problems over and over for the first week or so but I just wanted to in advance say thank you for the work you doing.

before, when i was trying to add by pressing the icon on the left I was getting wierd pop-ups. I haven't tried in a half hour or so, and have been doing it through contact management instead.

I second the liking longer pages but thinking that maybe 42 is a bit long also.

And yeah, yeah... thanks for all the work spanky (and others).

This is exciting to be able to see you all back on our own turf and all but, my Dog kids are bugging me for some food and I have some other things to attend to as well, so I'm going to have to wander off and say I hope I'll see you later.

Not sure of this yet, but it seems that hidden buddies are revealed as being on-line.

Just a heads up.

How does [my original number of] 33 sound? I mean, 42 is a great number and all, but 33 has that organic crackly vinyl feel.

Thoughts?
