3. Season's Greetings!

Reminds me I need to set my DU3 avatar and sig - a momentous decision, to be sure...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. I miss your orange sigline ...no color option here -- yet?

[petronius]

5. I tried with both kinds of brackets, but I think HTML isn't usable

in sigs yet - I'll give it another shot once the site stabilizes a bit. I actually got a little pouty when it didn't work...

8. Interesting! That's what I tried in my sig, but it didn't work

[font color="orange"]I'll try one way here...[/font]

<font color="orange">...and another.</font>

So the brackets worked in the post body, in preview at least. I'll try that again in the sig in just a bit.

Thanks, it's fun to play with and explore a new site, isn't it? They should build a new DU every month...

On edit: wow, that first line was orange in the preview, but now it's light blue! I guess I need to figure out what color name means 'orange' on this planet!

9. it is fun and I have a renewed interest in DU because of it however,

let's not get crazy. I am thinking once every 3-5 years is sufficient. every month and I would go bonkers

6. Welcome to DU3, still a litle rough around the edges, but will get better! n/t

10. Interesting?

When I first posted here, back in May, they were just running the beta test on the new site.

At that time we had a few gun control supporters clamoring to totally remove the forum from DU as inappropriate for "true liberal/progressive thinking". I wanted Skinner, and anyone in Admin that was paying attention, to at least know there were more than a few of us that wanted to keep this forum open and active.

Any fears I had then were not only unfounded, but many of those gun control people are now long gone, unable to carry on a conversation under Skinners new rules of civility without ranting and raving or name calling.

There are still a few that seem to try and clumsily bait 2nd supporters into violating the rules, but in time they'll succumb to their own cupidity and close mindedness.
