ALL SUGGESTIONS GRATEFULLY CONSIDERED
OK - can you stop using that large font, ALL CAPS, and colour? And losing the centering wouldn't be a bad idea also.

OK, seeing as everyone's going on about it, I asked because posts in that particular style look a bit advert-y - plus, they're difficult to read.

So was that an order, a suggestion or a request to stop using???

Is this the appropriate way to deal what ever... surely a pm explanation of your concerns would stop people like me getting involved in what appears to be interfering .......either moderate or don't, no inbetweens that can be misread. Please!:whistle:

It was a semi-serious suggestion, in reply to the comment which asked for suggestions.

Mmm.... the thing is, it's not always that easy. Some concerns are clearly moderator-only, some are personal-only, and some are kind of in between.

For example, I can and do make personal whinges about (say) Fletch's addiction to smilies, but that's not a moderation matter. On the other hand, if a poster persistently screwed up formatting or quotes, then it's a bit more of a grey area - we usually try to fix that sort of thing to make stuff more readable, so there is moderator impact, but it's not really covered in the rules. So in that case, some sort of comment might be appropriate.

With regard to Wes, I said this once before - the moderator side of it is the tendency for his posts to "look like" adverts, and the personal side of it is that I simply dislike overuse of visual tricks to attract attention - and got flamed for it then too, as I recall. I'm not sure why everyone's getting so worked-up about a simple suggestion, it's not like I called him a Ceroc teacher or something nasty like that.
(Yes, that too was a joke)

well you put a stop to it cos we can only use 12, which is a pain in the **** when you quoting some one else's post.

A/ I didn't, that was Franck's decision as Administrator - so take it up with him. Although if I'd done it, the limit would be 3. :whistle:
B/ Why quote someone who uses lots of smilies? What could they possibly have to say that's of interest? :na:

At the risk of being serious for a moment (don't worry someone else will post something else and it'll pass.....:na:)

It has been mentioned in the past that normal text can be read "at work" without arousing too much suspicion. Large brightly coloured fonts asking about dancing, on the other hand.....

You don't look at the forum at work do you?

I just can't believe anyone gets enough time at workto look at the forum.

What about the HAPPY BIRTHDAY threads?

Are they to be scapped?

I believe the arguement was that if you clicked onto the Happy Birthday thread, you did so knowing what you were getting (and so could wait for your Boss to be otherwise occupied etc)

Whereas it's more unexpected in the "serious" dance threads

Sorry. I'll explain:

Blimey. There's a (sarcastic) surprise!

How very amusing.

But respect for owning up to your mistake.

Here's a hug for doing so.

Ironic wink for doing the message in smileys.

The only person who can make that sort of administrative change is Franck.

David thought there was a problem with the forum software, he now knows there wasn't and that Franck has changed the allowed number of smilies to 6, still allowing you your colours and font size changes.

David advised you as soon as he knew.

This is the kind of colourful nonsense some of us have to put up with on the YourNav (http://www.yournav.com/) forum, the guy's smilies are as bad.
