Here's Derek's fiver for last night's new Smallville episode, "Fanatic." Derek's a quick one, ain't he? For that matter, so's Jonathan Kent -- he just had his first assassination attempt and he's not even in office yet.


But that's not all for today. Remember the three long-awaited things I was going to be doing for the 5M.net community? The first one just landed. Since time immemorial, goofy member titles bestowed at my whim have been the most popular feature of the Five-Minute Forums. They've been gone since I wiped the forum software a while back; I always intended to restore them, but they're not a built-in feature of phpBB, and I wanted to be extra-careful with mods this time around. Now the wait is over! The title mod is back to stay, and members can look forward to plenty of gratuitous randomness in the days to come.

Hooray for features :mrgreen:

[danieldoof]

^ I second that

cool features indeed

but some little problem occured...maybe you know what I can do about it

I use the newest opera version and like to open links in new tabs when I am in the forum.....but with the rollovers that does not work anymore...do you have any idea what I can do?

I am doing mouse gestures to clone the index-page and then click on the link...it works though

edith: the link in new tab by middle-mouse-click still works on the threads that dont have the rollover...

After that last post, I got a little mod-happy and added a lot more stuff to the forums. You'll find a summary here.


And another thing! Today is the birthday of MmeBlueberry, aka Amanda Dean, wife of Derek Dean and fivist in her own right. (And the forum tells you so now!) Amanda won the affection of the whole staff last year by embroidering our avatars as Christmas ornaments -- I'll have to upload a picture sometime. Many happy returns, Madame.

Thanks, Zeke! The member title is a wonderful birthday present.

[PointyHairedJedi]

Happy Birthday again, Blueberry, and also, Happy Birthday to Gatac!

[Gatac]

Thanks.

[Nate the Great]

So how do we earn a title?

[Zeke]

Post without one. I'll probably notice.

[Nate the Great]

"To air is human?" Gotta admit that one stumps me.

[Nate the Great]

I mean, I understand the play on words, but not the application. I mean--

You know, this hole I dug myself is kinda deep. A little help? :roll:

[Zeke]

I decided to do something more sophisticated than "Raddical" this time. Radd is playing air guitar, no?

8) Nice set of jokes in the member titles, Z. Thanks for setting that mod up so we can see them all!

Ouch! I don't know what hurts more, the horrible pun, the fact I didn't get the pun, or the fact that I'm ashamed I didn't get the pun! Any input on which I should find the most painful?

By the way, now that I get it, the title is cool, thanks. Cerebral yet funky, kinda like me, actually.

[ijdgaf]

Ouch!

[mudshark]

^ Nice av.

Agreement, followed by complement on the style.

[Chancellor Valium]

Whu-...Huh? Mu?
I mean:
Thanks Zeke! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And Hipi Hapi Bththdy to Mme. Blueberry!

don;t forget the Great And Powerful Gamemaster Gatac.
