AAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY .... why didn't some o' you YAYHOOS tell me I forgot to put the site name on the logo pic ? ? ? ... senior moment I reckon .......... There are a bunch of fonts I can use and several other colors too (to put the fish'n'more in the logo pic). Yellow just shows up the best against that particular background. If anyone wants to see it with other colors, I'd be glad to stick 'em in for a day or so so you can decide. There's red, green, black, white, teal, chartruese lookin' green, silver, gray, maroon, olive and several others, but they just don't have the contrast of the bright yellow. Not stuck on it though... lets hear from y'all.
rum 'cause we knowed where we were at and didn't look at it...

'Nuther reminder....
If you like using smilies (emoticons) and haven't found the ones I've added for you to use ...
If you are replying or making a post. While you are typing in your post STOP ! ! ! ...
Look just to the left of the white box you are typing in. You will see a small outline box. At the top of it it says Select Smilie. Click that and a drop down will list the smilies. I prefer to use the 'View all smilies". Just click that and a new pop up will open on your page that will let you choose from the ones I've had a chance to download. The welcome graphics are there as well.
I do plan to add more smilies, especially fishing, hunting, outdoor ones, but they have to be added one at a time into the global footer in the CSS code for the site. One wrong click and we could have major problems, so I have to be careful in there.
Sometimes it is good to temper a post with a smilie. Don't 'goody' it up, but text is often easy to misinterpret. Your tone might come across as angry or snotty when you didn't mean it that way at all, if you did, I hope to have some smilies for that too !!!!!!!!!

And your point is? I'm always angry and snotty! Hell, I've been married to the same woman for 40 years.... How else do you want me to be???

Soupy, reckon I'm satisfied with you 'bout th' way you are... 'cause I know you cain't help it ! Pegleg, it takes a while to find your way around on any new board. I think things are goin' pretty good here. Might be time to change a bunch of stuff.

Awright guys, take a couple valium and bear with me. stinkiesdaddy pointed out (and rightly so) that I had made link colors black. Links in posts weren't showing up because the default test color is black. Now ... stay with me ... when I change a link color, text color or anythig that is typed words ... it makes a global change. It changes everywhere on the board ... so, I've made the link color the universal blue, I'll have to change visited link color and another link color. This leaves no contrast for the link with the blue 'fishy' background. I had to change it. I'll find a better one, but for now, you're stuck with bassess.
Sorry for the fubar, I'll get it straightened out eventually.

Hey ... tip o' th' hat to stinkiesdaddy, a new set of eyes on the board has helped tremendously. Since his prompt to get the links in their proper color, our informations sections at the bottom of the page is greatly clarified along with the other fixes.
You can go down there now and see the blue links. The one for the 10 most recent posts is really handy. If you want me to change that to 20 most recent posts, I'll get that done too. 'rum

Evenin' y'all;
Again thanks to stinkiesdaddy, I've been able to add a little bit more functionality to the board. When you have been here long enough to find it ... just above the message boards and below the logo pic, there's some little bitty words. They are called a 'nav tree' or navigation tree. They show the path to where you are at any given time on the board. They are very handy to quickly get somewhere else you'd rather be. Now ... suppose you're at the bottom of the board ... you would have to scroll to the top of the board to click on 'em. I was able to locate the code to add them to the bottom of the page as well. Now, top or bottom of the page you can navigate more quickly using those little board links.
Also added a few more smily's. If you haven't found those ... when you are actually writing in a message ... look to the left of where you are typiing. You'll see a box, click on 'View all smilies' if you want a window to open showing all the smily's I've added, along with the welcome emoticons.
