This is quite the site. I am discovering new features all the time. I was browsing around and went to view "whose on line". What did I discover? It said that Ware-Ever was viewing another member's profile. I was curious as to what part of the country a fellow member was located and I hoped they had it in their profile. When I saw my name, it made me feel like I was snooping in someone's medicine cabinet in the home of a not too close friend and got caught. Oh well. So much for privacy. If anyone catches me in their "profile", it's only professional curiosity. Don't worry, size doesn't matter. Dennis

Just a note to the curious... The Who's On line feature is delayed a bit. It all depends on what someone is doing if it actually shows where they are at the moment. The best part of it is you can tell (by the little green Icon) if a friend is on-line and you want to send a quick PM or if someone is posting in a forum that you may want to see the response to before you log off. Depending on what's going on the "display" there may be up to 15 minutes behind. It's not snooping, that's the point to profiles, so you can know a bit about who you're talking to, and the only public info there is what users choose to reveal about themselves. There is also a feature even I didn't know about until yesterday. If you are typing a response at the same time as someone else and they post first you get a little notice when you hit post that tells you someone else has posted while you were typing and you may want to check their response before adding yours. The people that developed this software are obviously big-time into forums. I recall many times on the old PLP forums where almost identical answers would be posted at the same time. That's a pretty cool feature you may never see, but if you do it could make a difference in how you decide to answer. And BTS: I have suggested Robert add a section to the rules about posting on steroids. Problems with posting on Quaaludes should be covered by the spell checker
