Which seems to show that the overwhelming majority of people visiting the EA are interested only in the stories, not the message board or the chatrooms. Of course, the overwhelming majority of people reading the stories are not eunuchs. Even so, congratulations on a stunning accomplishment.

on some un-obtrusive ways to get messages to those readers who just hit the stories and nothing else.

In fact it's in place now :D

Maybe we can convince some people that it's worth their time to read and post on the message boards too!

He's even cuter at point blank range.

:D 👄 :D

I noticed the unobtrusive message box ... it scared the sh*t out of me and I closed 8 windows by accident and spilt my coffee!

heh ... Damn near scorched something!

edit: And before I forget again ... see how easily I get distracted?! So close to 8.0 hits! I like nice, round numbers.

:p

LoL ... you WOULD know about point blank range wouldn't you?

:D

The good thing about the message box is that:

1. It only shows up once per visit, not once for every story you look at, and ...

2. We can change the content or disable the pop-up at any time ... it's not really built into the story page at all - I just used some fancy technical tricks to make it appear that way.

By the way Paolo, I have I upgraded to Win XP and hadn't got my ICQ list back up WHEN ... the brand new hard drive I installed XP on failed totally ... so I *just* got a new one in and XP installed AGAIN ... so that's why you haven't seen me on ICQ!!

I will get it back up SOON though!

Point Blank range? Hmmm, , , I think we must be talking about a different type of Gun. -s-

O you Guys, so into the newest/best in computers.-s- I am using a PB 120 megahertz, 1 gig HD, that came with 910 Megs of software. (That is why as soon as I saw that, I had a second HD put in, a 1.99 Gig monster.) My os is Win 95B from Jan., of 97. The only drawback I see to still using the old thing is that It has only two ports, one each Serial, & Com. No Usb. I am still using a mouse that crashes the thing, caus I can't find a new mouse I can use in any Local stores.

Blessed Imbolg!
