Anyone look at the changes since the upgrade? Did I miss this all these months, or have we always had a "Reputation" category in the Members List? What happened to the spell checker?

Spell check works. If I mispeel this word, a red line appears under it in my text box. And +1 rep for noticing :biggrin

Sorry bonester, it's browser dependant. Use firefox. :rofl

Seriously, I'll try and incorporate a hack for other browsers. I just had to change a bunch of stuff because the porn bots were relentlessly trying to get on the site. Apparently it's a nasty turn of events where spammers have gone from mail to forums. They get one click out of every thousand posts and they make a living. :thumbsdow

Did you upgrade to Firefox 2.0? There is a spell check extension that works real well on any text input box on any site. :thumbsup

I wish I could upload stuff. I think it is on my end and not yours. Thats what I get for living in this middle of nowhere place. It might help if I washed the alkali dust off my sat dish providing I can find water.

I can make them moderately bigger, I just hate forums where people put 1920 X 1200 images as their avatars so you spend 90% of your time scrolling on a 20" monitor.

Wow, just switched to FoxFire and see the spell check... well phuckmearrunin,

Please, a little more avatar space, I have the new Brittany movie coming from fellow Fresno boy, KFed and I thought it would be a great avatar...:wink
For at least an hour or so till you find it...:willy :eek :willy

Actually, the size itself is ok, its the file size that should be bigger. I would think up to 100kb, but keep the size 120x120 so there are no scrolling problems.
Bony, what are your thoughts on size?

There, I gave you 10 extra pixels and your 100kb for Lifetime II and IV. If it gets out of hand though and we've got 4mb of avatars loading per page it goes away.

You know the rules Bony.
