[tfw7]

[Kheldar]

or else 'you'll be back' ?

[Rik]

The Beach Boys did a song called Graduation Day - perhaps we could adjust the lyrics a little for new activations?  8)

[Kheldar]

are new activations, activated by a big Red button ? 

and a highly qualified technician pushing it?

[tfw7]

ooh if so I want me own big red button!

and a big red hammer to destroy any remaining evidence of virgin.cr*p

New activations require a physical connection to be made (hence the costs), otherwise it's a few keystrokes at a computer somewhere...

out there...............

is a big red button

[Rik]

It's marked "Do not press unless you wish to totally destroy Steve's connection". 

[Kheldar]

It's marked "Do not press unless you wish to totally destroy Steve's connection". 

well that explains everything.

you went and pushed it 6 months ago Rik 

[Rik]

I didn't mean to, honest... I just sat on the desk. 

[Kheldar]

and the desk was sitting on the button ? 

[Malc]

If the red buttons for go, what's the green one for?

[cavillas]

I would welcome all the Virgins as well, but I have not been too well the past few days -- say AAhh.

Anyway, welcome all those who are comming to the best, friendliest and most personable of ISP's.  It has taken a lot of work spreading the message and I won't give up now until we rule the world

Turning right?

I hope you're feeling better now, Alf.

[cavillas]

Thanks Rik,  seems to be some kind of fluee cold thing that has been hanging round for 2 weeks now and just comes and goes.  Hope I don't pass it on via a forum virus.

The mad vicar... or Rik

Everyone! I can partly sort it myself, as I can set Firefox not to show pictures from any given site. I've set it not to show anything from bestsmileys.com, which has got rid of some of them, and the forum allows me to block atavars and sigs, but unfortunately when I tell it to block all images from idnetters I lose some of my navigation as well! Perhaps I'll suggest blocking pictures as an option over on IDNet Improvements.

You'll never get it past NOD, Alf.

I would imagine that would require major re-coding by SMF, Colin.

And it wouldn't be the same without Rik's smiling happy face on every other post

[Rik]

 

Avatars can already be blocked - it's images within the posts that Colin is referring to.

Well quite - that's the last thing I'd want to lose!

[Rik]

Odd, most people put that down as the first thing to lose.

Well, they brighten my day.  Don't know about anyone else. 

If implemented I think you would only have yourself to talk to Colin.

it wouldn't ?
