This forum!

[Katie]

Just thinking this morning how so many things have changed for me as a result of DS, this board and the people on it. I dont wanna get specific but way back when I signed up I never thought this forum would influence me the way it has. I have met some wonderful people who I care a hell of a lot about, and had some really great times.

I just wanna say thanks to the people on here for that. In particular thanks to Steve for getting me to sign up first day and for all the great work he does on here. The Duke team keep everything running smoothly for everyone and I think the personal time they devote to this board (forum change alone is a huge time investment) and everything Duke related needs a big thank you! *claps hands* I know the thanks comes from higher up, and you do it cos you want to but still... thanks Steve, admin mr&mrs and everyone else!

keep up the good work :D

Katie, cheque or cash?

:rolleyes:

Ah in fairness it needed saying! The work, effort and time doesn't go unnoticed!
So, just thought a thank you was in order.

[Siano]

Agreed.

New forum is great, technically speaking, its much more advanced than any other board I am on.

And I do agree, that I cannot estimate how much my life has changed as a direct and indirect result of this board, the people and the music.
If it weren't for mySpace, I wouldnt be here...cheers Scotty :D

Yeah Katie, I agree...It's strange that out of this true and really good friendships have started. Never mind all the crazy guys and gals alike! ;)

[Guinness]

Of course praise is needed in this case and I'll give you as much praise as is needed.... but can I please have my icons back?

I can't see smileys anywere on my interface...

Cheers!

Are you sure you're not just hitting the Quick reply instead of the Post Reply button?

(Mods, I wont do this again I promise!)

Pink really doesnt work well with the background does it... lol

[Katie]

look you can even change the fonts!!!



oh dear... what have I started... :)

[Siano]

I have to say I like the fact that you can individualise your posts, but if people start writing in yellow and pink, I will either cry or flame. :rolleyes:

[Katie]

well my flash mac-style skin is white.. so you can post in whatever colour you like hehehe :)

[Siano]

I forgot you could use other skins not just the DS style one which is scheksy....yaytimes.

[Stephen]

Ok Folks,
This is a web forum, not a Jaskon Pollock painting.
Please go easy on the colours and other gaieties.

Steve.

[poppiesfan]

Ah - thank heavens I found this thread.

Thought I was going absolutely bonkers. It was driving me mad. I don't like to be beaten by something so simple :mad:

Thank you one and all for sorting my smilies out :D

It's amazing how the little things in life can make you :D after a miserable week :(

Cheers folks ;)

[Guinness]

Nope, I do everything the way I used to...

This is the outcome of my reply capabilities:
