Well new smilies are always welcome...I just
the smilies! And I know you get this a lot, but I too think that a chat room would be nice. Because I know that vBulletin does support it...
And thanks to all you administrators and mods and everybody who contributes to the site and helps out, it's really really great! You all do such an awesome job.

Just so you know, the issue with the chat room wasn't so much the software support, but the personnel support available to monitor a chat to ensure that it remains as friendly as the boards.
But that doesn't mean that it won't ever happen, just the reason why it hasn't thus far.

I am sorry but a chat room would not be added here. Thank you for the rest of the suggestions though and please keep them coming.

Sam, I have checked out Green Eyes and it is green. Perhaps it is the setting on your computer that is at fault?

Oh, thanks, I didn't know. There was a thread about this a few weeks ago and said nothing about that, so I wasn't sure.

Anne and I have discussed this issue for quite some time. A chat room is to much of a liability for this forum, therefore it has been decided that it will not be an option here. Sorry about that. I do recall that a member awhile back tried to get an independent chat room going for members, but it didn't work because of all the time differences in this global community.

I see MOSTLY green on Green Eyes, but the box where the actual text of the post is comes up vB default gray. It does clash quite a bit with the green.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing now, too.

As for changes/additions... I love TCS just the way it is! Although I would love be be able to make my siggy a bit bigger, but I understand why there's a size limit. It's not fair for those on dial up to have to wait forever for them to load, and also, we wouldn't want to spend hours scrolling through oversized siggys. I've seen other forums that don't have a limit and it's painful to scroll forever just to get to the next post because someone thought it would be cool to have a page full of stuff in their sig.

I've always found that annoying too. I think the sig size here is just right. Afterall, it's the posts people come here to read!

Love the farting smilie!

As hissy noted earlier, we do not have anywhere near the staff to moderate a chat room appropriately. It is far too great of a liability for us.
