Re: Vote: Do you want "the button"?
I voted no because I like simplicity over gadgets, but I don't feel strongly about it. If people want it, go for it. :)

Re: Vote: Do you want "the button"?
I voted yes, because I think its fun.
And like all our other debates...if you don't like "the button" don't use it. The choice is yours.

Re: Vote: Do you want "the button"?
All this due to my technical ineptness. 
I prefer simplicity but since I did it accidentally, who the heck knows if I can change it.
ohhhhh Niiiiiick......

Re: Vote: Do you want "the button"?
We have those buttons on another forum I'm on. We all thought they were great, and used them for the first couple of days, and now, we forget they are there, and don't use them. I'm happy either way.

trash it
next up:
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

I don't know what this is about, but at my house when I'm asked if I "want the button", I say "But, it's not even Tuesday! Wow!" and close the curtains...

Pretty simple to change...if that is the desire. Oh, and that wasn't the only thing that was different about the Olympics forum. Just that no-one will notice the other one.....and I'm going to change it anyway.

How can you say no to soup? That is just so wrong.

Re: Vote: Do you want "the button"?
Kiza,
Uh oh...you might get a nasty note from RA...that's what happened when I reported a post last year "just for the fun of it".
RA gave me a stern lecture via PM about wasting Mod's valuable time.
Ever since then I've been afraid of her
As for the button...the less technology in my life for me to bother Maniacs about is probably best
ETA: Ummm...when I told RA that I reported a post because someone had dared me to...she got really snippity and told me to take responsibility for my own actions
These Mods are frightening. Hmm...maybe us mortal Maniacs need a Union..it's just a thought
