The "karma bar" is what we had before, stars indicating membership level. Assuming we're talking about the same thing. :)

Ah, yeah. Membership level bar. I've seen it done as a karma bar before. Nevermind that then.

This might be a good time to remind folks that we ask everyone to keep their avatar limited to 125x125 (with the standard 100x100 being preferred) and their sig below about 80 pixels, or 5 lines of text.

Fixed, should be smaller now :)

Every time I think the man's established just where customer service should TRY to get to, he goes and raises the bar AGAIN. I don't think he's human.

Human or not, I for one am glad he does.

How come Aak3 gets to use more sig space than anyone else? Lots more than 5 lines.

And I can't even get a vomitting smilie.

Five lines? It's been this way for...um...a year and a half?

I'm breaking all sorts of rules then. I shall correct myself.

I really should pay attention to these things.

Edit: If I were a preacher this would be practicing, yes?

It's possible in the Admin center for admins to put a hard limit on sig size.

And I see you managed to move the search bar so it doesn't cut the avatars in half any more. Nice work :)

Yah I just noticed that, I'm pretty happy about it too.  GJ Iago :)

There are a small of items Jim has recommended in the "Other Stuff Jim Likes" section of our store.  I'll have to update it sometime with other stuff he's recced.

I'll be paying close attention to that in my next WoJ carousing within the next few months and I'll proally start a new WoJ sticky on the topic.  I'll actually proally start it within the next week and seed it with the stuff he recommended within the past week.

Edit:  Ooooh, I just had the idea that I might go through the effort to figure out how to have the individual books linked in such a way that the forum benefits from any purchases.
