Hi everyone. I'm looking into this delay and will update you when it's fixed.

Today was rough. I have been in and out all day, away from home and away from my cell during different periods, and didn't know the site was down until just a bit ago. I'm thinking we need a backup administrator type who can manage stuff at the host. Luanne is already a forum administration goddess,...

Congrats on both of our entries! I love them both. Pattie - your blue goes so well with the forum, so your banner gets to be here. I clearly need to do a bit more cleanup - I tried to remove your table, but somehow got a bit of white sprinkled in there. I'll clean that up and upload a fresh copy. Be...

Nope - not you. Our host claims that there is no way that any downtime is the result of too much chatting. Trust me - I asked.

Hi all. Just a note to let you know that I called our host when I got home and asked about our down time this afternoon. The said it was due to some server upgrades - absolutely not anything we did. At any rate, their upgrades are done now, and we should be good to go. My apologies to those of you w...

OK gals - as I'm sure you've no doubt noticed, we have some colorful names on the board now. Thanks again to our volunteers! We now have 4 mods, which I think is probably a good number. Moderators - you should now see some options on the board that you didn't see before. Please let myself or Luanne ...

Chill! You're red NOW, OK? Geesh.. you'd think she did all kinds of work here or something and deserved special recognition.... :tomato: JOKING! You totally know I'm joking right????? Hey.. in another note.. since I'm putzing around with stuff on the back-end, I think I'm going to go demote the turk...

You ladies are just so chatty. Just kidding, Keep it up!!! Actually, Admin just contacted me saying she's not going to be around much in December because of work and family obligations, and I will be gone for a week to Disney. This means we need someone to keep an eye on things (break up the fights...

Oy! Y'all are killin' me! You're acting like this stuff can just be built in a few hours! Oh, wait - I guess we did kinda do that once already, didn't we? :lol: OK... I need to do some research still. Don't be looking for new classes to start up tomorrow or anything. But Luanne and I have been talki...

Heh. We were 55 when I put it up about an hour ago. It's counting average page hits - counted by the number of times that little image has been displayed. Give it 24 hours - I'll bet it continues to rise.

More just added. I think I got most/all of the ones that Chris and everyone else added. Here's a hint for the future, anyone who wants to send me a collection of smilies, just put them all in a zip file and e-mail the zip file to admin@paperartistsonline.com. Posting here is fine too, but if there a...

Hi gals. I've been working on the homepage for a while now (where you go to if you don't have the /forum in the address), and I'm happy enough with it now that I'm gonna head home (been doing this from work). It's not the best work I've ever done, but I didn't want it to be overly complicated and ha...

OK... Smilies have been added. :matrix: I didn't get Luanne's yet, and the ones that are there need to be organized (as in, ordered somehow). But I'm cross-eyed. At least now I know how to do it. Maybe Luanne will get bored someday and organize the smilies. :clap: BTW... As I was getting them all ad...

OK gals - I've got everything so far. They've all been downloaded, and now I have to put them all in a package so that the board understands. I've never done this before, but I'll do my best to get them up there.

It's interesting to see all of the opinions here. They're all valid, and you all make good points. I do know that there's a box when you log in that says "hide my online status", but when I check it, I still see myself online. I don't know if that means I'm visible to you or not. I also do...
