Graci has a few more in another thread but I can't find it now and I can't find the add emoticons thingie doodad.

Wow, a man who can't find anything in the house and is seeking the help of females. Gee willikers that's NEVER happened to me before!

And if you believe that I have some swamp land in Florida you might be interested in. Y'all like gators?

Like I said before, I don't care how many you add, or don't add, but I posted all the ones I could find, since people were asking me about them. My entire collection is in this photobucket album, if you are interested, Varanus.

I kind of wish we had only one main introduction thread, so I could welcome each batch of new people all at once. Reading all the individual threads and responding is time consuming (no jokes about the amount of time I spend on this forum), so now I've given up, but this makes me feel bad.

Interesting. What if we miss someone saying hello/welcome to someone new in a clutter of everyone's posts welcoming someone else? I can see that happening if there is only one thread.

Other forums that I have been a member of over the years have usually handled it that way. It really reduced clutter and, I feel, led to more people actually reading them more often.

I've never really noticed people being missed because, in general, people would multi-quote all the new people's first posts, and do a general welcome, or ask questions if they had them. Nobody was really ever completely missed. Some new users may get more welcomes than another, but we have that here, too.

If someone started their own thread (because they didn't see the intro thread, or something) then it was just merged with the main one. It worked really well, imo.

I think what ever becomes decided would be a great thing to do. I'm support the decision decided upon.

Is it possible to get an 'easy button' to wrap spoiler tags around text?

I know we can do it manually, but I think people would use spoiler tags more often if we could just highlight and click.

Thank you for adding this feature!!!! You guys are awesome!! I think this will help so much.
