Maybe, but since I've joined, I've always been able to see mine, as well as other members' numbers. < Not that I care...to me it's nothing more than a fun look-see. > :razz:

Gotta admit... I like the new features! I'm also trying out the new theme, just cause it was time for some change...Seems well put together! I like it.

I've tested it in Firefox and IE7 and it works without any problems. I've yet to give it a run on IE6...maybe this evening.

I love the Twilight theme; is it new? I never saw it before today and am swearing by it now. I love dark backgrounds but the dark black of the other themes was too high-contrast for me; this one rawks~! Thanks whoever made it.

how do i find out which one i have?

Inside IE, go to Help > About Internet Explorer and then check your version.

Oddly enough, i whine about IE6 and it's what I have installed on my computer :oops:...I could care less tho because the only thing I use IE for is cross browser testing for web sites i'm working on.

when somebody sends you a pm, it blinks red :sweeet: I'm sure somebody already noticed this, but i just did, i think its cool! :D

you mean in the toolbar? the only 'Help' i can find is for the google toolbar. can't find it for the IE itself.

question: if i download firefox, will it become my default browser? the reason i ask is, usually i sign into a messenger then pull up a browser thru that. just wondering if it'll still pull up IE instead...

It should be File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help on the toolbar.

When you're installing FF, it will ask you if you want it to be your default browser. It also will also ask if you want to copy over your bookmarks from IE.

What messenger are you talking about?

well, i just went ahead and downloaded FF without waiting for reply and, yes it did ask to set as default. it asked if i wanted to transfer favorites and i said yet but it didn't do it so i'm setting all those now. i usually use myspaceim and msn messenger. and they do pull up the FF browser so we're all good! ;)

AWESOME!

Now, the REALLY cool thing about FireFox are its add-ons.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...l/sort:popular

haha! yeah, i've been playing with them a little bit... had to get my stumbleupon back ya know! lol

I have found what I think may be a problem with this current pop-up. It's the same whether you leave a positive or a negative rep... I'm not sure reading "May you be lucky enough to recieve the same reputation back in turn" is appropriate when sending out negative reps to someone deserving one. lol Could there be a different/none at all for neg reps. Not that it really bothers me, just an idea.

Sorry Nate and Raj...but don't have a choice.... I'm using the PC at work, and since Im just a (yeah, I'll be PC here) little worker bee... I don't have any say whatsoever in the IT for the company....so IE6.0.29 is what it is.

So there. :P

But yeppers...since the new changes for the whistles, I like them, and I appreciate the red blinking PM notice, and the learning who I get strokes from, but I can't just click on the smilies to use them any more, or get the additional menu to choose from. :( :( I have to find the right "code" to put btwn the colons in order to get them to appear.

Bummer! (And yes, I've disabled my pop-up blocker for this site....a looooooong time ago.) :-/

But Raj and All....Thanks for the hard work for the upgrades!
