According to the FAQ it occurs after 1000 posts. Or do I have to do something heroic as well? I did give a stranger a set of sled metalwork for free out of the kind of my own heart.

It isn't automatic, next time the Gods have a spare moment they will spot your heighten status and turn you green. Patience grasshopper

I'm not touching anyones accounts until after I get through the merger of the two boards, and the upgrade of the software. 120 lines of code in the merger script, and so far, only the categories and boards are merging properly. Working on posts now, and users.

If you want a silly title I think you need to irritate Tony

So I guess I need to start carefully checking all his posts for apostrophe abuse
Bad apostrophe! BAD!
edit: fixed, the, image. Oh and my bad speling. A guy can't catch a break around here!!

Broken link, because that server won't serve images if it has an off-site referrer.
Also, what's an "apostrophy"? Is it like Apu's trophy?

I saw it fine after I did "open in new window", then hit return on the URL again (to load with no referer), then reloaded his post.
Do you have a proxy between you and the internet that's rewriting HTTP requests? I should probably get one, but..

thats probably it, though

I debugged a problem once where a proxy was doing something subtle that inadvertantly made something work, so it worked for one person and no one else. I don't remember what. But since then, transparent proxies just haven't been...

Only one prob with your new title, it's so long that it makes the name/date column extra wide!

His title wraps properly on my machine, there is no change in the width of the name/date column.

Wierd. It doesn't wrap at all on my computer when using flat mode. I've got large fonts set so that might be affecting it.

Wierd.
"Weird." I saw a site somewhere which suggests this may be one of the most popular English misspellings on the internet.

Argh. I can never remember which one it is! I can usually spell everything else properly apart from one or two words.

i before e, except after c, unless of course it's one of the words that is an exception, then you're screwed.
edit: not that it has anything to do with the word weird.

Yeah. Those rules aren't that useful as there are so many exceptions in the English language!
What genius came up with there, their and they're?
Anyway, back on topic! I'm at 2043 posts at the moment and I'm not green... Does everybody hate me?
