You've Probably Noticed that I'm Playing With the HTML Code

Is that "Marquee" main title a little too gaudy for your taste? LOL. I picked the color to match the figure in the logo. Just for kicks, lets do a poll, to make the selection process easier.

Love,
Tex

P S Note that I've also added a "Copyright Notice" at the bottom, so we now have full, legal, copyright protection, in case someone tries to rip off our logo, content, or anything else.

Oooh, I'm the first one to answer the poll! Actually I think it's pretty snazzy.

This software is pretty terrific, by the way. I looked at the website for phpBB and I am amazed at what they offer for free. What a wonderful service.

I can't wait to see what you come up with next, Wayne.

Oh, and thanks for the copyright. Now all our words of wisdom belong to you!! :grin:

Love,

Sally

No, actually, all our words of wisdom belong to us. I had to use that wording because that's the way the website domain is registered. In fact, thanks for reminding me, I think I'll change it to the exact form.

Since "The Potty People" is not an officially recognized entity, I'm not sure it wold have any legal standing, in case of a copyright dispute. Especially since it may be difficult to prove exclusive use. Does anyone have any information on this?

Love,
Wayne

Just my .02 cents...I LOVE green, but I think it would be better in the dark blue. It's a little too green for me.

Way to much for my taste . IMHO I would tone it way back since it clashes with the blue of the rest of the page. The green in the logo works as a contrast but my eye is drawn to a meaningless line of green instead of the logo.

The page is now way to big in that I have to use the cursor to move right to left to see the whole page. Very distracting in reading posts.

Maybe my mind is shot after the the fifth day of 104 degree temperatures and twenty days over 95

Matthew,

I haven't done anything to change the page width. Sometimes it varies for a thread, after a long link is entered, or something of that sort, but I've done nothing to the code that should change the physical dimensions of the display properties. I'm only using 800 x 600 pixels on this computer, (since I like large print size, and I've only got a 17" screen), and it displays just fine on it. Could your display setting possibly be set on 640 x 480?. If you're using windows, you can right click on the desktop and click on "Settings", to see the display screen area setting.

LOL. I was afraid the green would be a bit gaudy for some tastes, but I'm appalled that Peg, an avowed fan of green, would be among the dissenters. Sigh. I'll try another color.

I'll tell you one thing, it's tough to match these colors, using hexadecimal code, but I'll eventually get there, if everyone will bear with me. LOL.

You are becoming such a techno-weenie geek and WE LOVE IT! :pulsinghearts: Whatever would we do without you and your newfound skills? :yourock:

Lots of love :valentine:,

(Sorry, Carla - hope you don't mind if I borrow your boobie emoticon)

P.S. Hey, where is that info on how to figure out our silly names? Can we have it here?

Polly,

Hahahahahaha. Thanks.

I can remember my old name, too, so I did a search on the net for the "algorithm" you mentioned.

I found this on the net:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The following is an excerpt from a children's book, "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants" by Dave Pilkey. The evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names...

Use the third letter of your first name to determine your new
first name:

a = poopsie
b = lumpy
c = buttercup
d = gidget
e = crusty
f = greasy
g = fluffy
h = cheeseball
i = chim-chim
j = stinky
k = flunky
l = boobie
m = pinky
n = zippy
o = goober
p = doofus
q = slimy
r = loopy
s = snotty
t = tulefel
u = dorkey
v = squeezit
w = oprah
x = skipper
y = dinky
z = zsa-zsa

Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:
a = apple
b = toilet
c = giggle
d = burger
e = girdle
f = barf
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = cootie
j = monkey
k = potty
l = liver
m = banana
n = rhino
o = bubble
p = hamster
q = toad
r = gizzard
s = pizza
t = gerbil
u = chicken
v = pickle
w = chuckle
x = tofu
y = gorilla
z = stinker

Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:
a = head
b = mouth
c = face
d = nose
e = tush
f = breath
g = pants
h = shorts
i = lips
j = honker
k = butt
l = brain
m = tushie
n = chunks
o = hiney
p = biscuits
q = toes
r = buns
s = fanny
t = sniffer
u = sprinkles
v = kisser
w = squirt
x = humperdinck
y = brains
z = juice

For example, George W. Bush's new name is Goober Chickenshorts, Tony Blair is Zippy Liverlips and Saddam Hussein is Gidget Chickenfanny!

Tex, A.K.A. Dinky Girdlefanny (Unfortunately, I don't have a smiley for that). LOL.

Hi Boobie, A.K.A. Polly,

Oh, yes. Here I am, Boobie Girdlenose. Which reminds me of a series of awful jokes that my father told me.

Q. What is a dweeb?

A. He is a little guy that runs around smelling the seats of old ladies' bicycles.

I know, I know, HORRIBLE. I didn't say that. DADDY DID!!!! :devil:

Love,

Boobie
