what about having statuses...?

[joko]

like on facebook...

just a short space under the username, to write notes, like happy birthday aber, or announce your own, or a whatver

it could also cut down on pointless statuses like 'im bored' or 'its hot today' or repetitive ones like 'rip dead celeb' that fill up the boards pushing better ones off

[joko]

i dont particularly want this or anything...i would probably rarely use it...it was just a thought because so many seem to use the board this way...

ed, no i didnt mean like that, i meant under each persons username and avatar on the board - that appears at the side of each post - a line or 2 of text...

There was no need to have me as an example rowan..........

[mccfluff]

lol crafty

I am prepared to acknowledge whatever 'status' the Ed gives to me. Providing it's not 24.:-)

Joko, that would work. Or we could have it appear when you hover over the user's avatar?

[hc4361]

No! Please no.
What with FaceBook, Twitter, BBM status I am all statused out.

[vivandorron]

I don't want anyone 'hovering' over my Avatar to see what Viv & I are doing. :-)

Thanks for the status update hc4361!

[Ankou]

how about limit it to a one word status:

happy
sad
drunk

(although to be fair, joggerjayne would keep looping those in one thread)

[hc4361]

But you will see that only once, Ed. A 'proper' status under the username will be on on every post a poster posts, presumably.

How's about we leave AB as it is without any further little bits and pieces which to most of us are totally unnecessary. AB is quite unique, which I quite like - simple to use and friendly (well mostly).

No disrespect joko.

[AB Editor]

This would be my status:

[rowanwitch]

Rather find a man whose status was

[vivandorron]

Oh dear me.....The Ed is getting out his six-shooter.!!

Ron.

[hc4361]

Yes, giving the poster ample opportunity to reply with nvm.
