My main issue with the new format is that Avatrars make it a lot less work friendly. RS

Go to "Edit Options" in User Profile. You can uncheck the "Show Avatars" option.

For what Box's fashionable circle would never believe is that their witty, cheerfully bisexual friend is also a secret agent...

Sounds like I should pick up a copy

Oh yeah, they did such a good job. It's exactly the same as the old one.

Too right it was

My main issue with the new format is that Avatrars make it a lot less work friendly. The old schema was kind of subtle.....'till you hit on a thread with embedded pictures, now it's REALLY obvious what you're doing....
I'm going to be on here less in work time (alll say Ahhh).

It's fine in a high resolution, bloody horrible in 800*600 and 1024*768 (aka crappy test rigs I use at clients site).

Lucifer....you astound me, mate...truly astound me.

Mark Gatiss...he of Gentleman fame?

That's the fella. Cracking good read. Here's the blurb...

Edwardian London. It is a world that seems familiar to us: Hansom cabs rattling through fog-choked streets, gin-swilling aesthetes rubbing shoulders with movers and shakers of British Imperial grandeur. And beneath the confident facade, naturally, an underworld of sinister Tongs, crazed anarchists, murder, and seething vice. So much for the familiar picture of comforting Victoriana. But this is the world of Lucifer Box and nothing is quite as it first appears. Lucifer Box is the most fashionable portrait painter of his day: trading bon mots with the best of them and ruthlessly exploiting his talent and dandified beauty to enter every level of this intriguing society. From his elegant townhouse at Number 9 Downing Street (well, someone has to live there...) to his vast studio in Chelsea, from the snow-choked streets of Tsarist St petersburg to the sun-bleached hotels of Mentone, life is one long, dazzling party. Of course, leading a double life is terribly fashionable and Lucifer Box is not to be outdone. For what Box's fashionable circle would never believe is that their witty, cheerfully bisexual friend is also a secret agent...

"Lucifer" is the Victorian name for a match, so "Lucifer Box" as in "Match Box". Yeah, I know, a bit crap.

It is also the name of the hero in this book, that I read and throughly enjoyed just before creating my ezBoard account. Yeah, I know, even more crap.

What does the box mean, anyway?

[Lucifer Box]

Ah well Lucifer, you at least are the real McCoy.

No one in their right mind would want my nick.
