I'm glad you all like my new avatar. :) But I didn't expect you all to notice so quickly. :(

Are you all seriously telling me that you didn't notice it straight away!?!

I wasn't really drinking...it's kinda early for me...

I just didn't pay attention...

I do think I can be of help, reminding people about the rules. I've been a forum member for 18 months, and I've contributed over 3,000 posts, some of them pretty thoroughly thought out. I may not be a 601 like some of you guys, but I've contributed a lot.

Here is another rule that I hope people will follow:

* If you start a thread, pick the most appropriate forum. Post the question or comment to ONLY ONE thread.

My avatar change is only temporary.

Doesn't everyone enjoy the recently expanded avatar size? :D

I think they missed my "everyone is a moderator today" comment. :D

but he's not in the Mod forum - so what gives? Is this legit or an april fools prank?

I wouldn't think that arn would do something like this. Although the status of Doctor Q is listed different than eyelikeart and Mr. Anderson, his is two spaces below. Most of the doctors that I've worked with are very serious about important matters.

Man, you just don't give up, do you? What - do you think reminding everyone of the rules automatically will get you in with magical moderator powers? It takes a bit more than that, I'm afraid...

Maybe it was a good thing to look at the server logs. Has anyone
else looked at the access log summary? It's in the usual Apache directory.

ah, hello, what in the hell are you talking about - two spaces below what?

and how does having a 'dr.' in your forum member name equate with anything serious?

Meaning you are a mod, so your title under your name reads:
Code:
demi-god (moderator)
Where as Doctor Q's mockup avatar makes his title "appear" (those those who must need glasses!) as moderator:
Code:
macrumors 68040

Same here. What are you seeing, eye? :confused:

It's got those "security issue" messages we always read about. We're at
version 1.3.29...which is the latest in the 1.n series...but maybe we should have moved to release 2.0?

I'll look at it again, and I guess I should run webtrends on it. I'll check the application server log that php writes too.

But this has nothing to do with Doctor Q's stunt, does it?

OK, this is weird...I'm seeing a bunch of IP addresses in the logs, no domain names. The IPs are all in the 207.217.x.x range.

My promotion was recent. Thanks. I feel welcome. All warm and fuzzy inside.

Did that come with a raise and a voluptous secretary?

I hear that Mudbug got a lot of perks when he was promoted.

:ducks: and watches the run on Moderator perks. ;)
