ldyjocelyn Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Not a freakin' clue. I really think we should weed through a bunch of our emoticons. I know there's only a few I use on a regular basis, and I frankly think a few are of the "mean spirited" type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 .Does anyone remember what this means?That's "I love Clay's butt" in Chinese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I cannot figure out how to center the banner--inner workings are written in fancy new ways that I can't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm not sure if you can. Openly Clay's banner isn't centered either. I've PM'd their admin to ask what we should know about in the "behind the scenes" stuff. (Including Clay's twitter feed!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrieeee Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yep -- this is an upgrade for the board. I'm used to it, because of another board I frequent. But it might take a little getting used to! If anyone has questions, contact me and I'll try to help best I can.One of the things I want to investigate is that I know we can do a "sidebar" that will list Clay's tweets as they come in...Sometimes when you add sidebars the print on a post while using iPads gets to be really small and can be a pain. Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortyjill Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Happy birthday 00lsee!! Fancy new setup. Gonna take some getting used to eh?Just a thought about the banner....what if instead of trying to center it just make it big enough to fill in the gap to the other side? Or are there size restrictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikim Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 We have a new look! I like it..especially like the reply on the bottom...easy to just type and post! (and the edit feature works just fine..have edited this post twice already!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just got my current copy of The Voice, from the National Inclusion Project. Paragraph to note:Clay did an amazing job on the Celebrity Apprentice and was able to raise over $400,000 for the Project! In addition, almost $50,000 was raised throughout the week after the Finale by donors 'voting with their wallets.' Thank you to everyone for your kind words and donations. We definitely feel like the real winners!That's pretty awesome, if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Aaaaack! I woke up this morning and found that my beautiful Face the Nation avatar was gone! AAAACK! Fortunately, I managed to change it back...jmh, I love your avatar too. Right back atcha!And I also just realized that the concert in Indianapolis is smack dab in the middle of my vacation to Memphis (which we just finalized yesterday). Good thing I didn't buy tickets to that show... On the other hand, that means I'll miss whatever cellcert happens that night. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hopefully the cellcert will be recorded and you'll have something to look forward to the next day!!About the avatars--for me, ldyj, your much older avatar was showing from the minute the board changed, same for merrieeee and others. I didn't have one at all, so I had to make a new one. Which was not painful. But I kind of wondered why you hadn't changed yours back to the newer one--now I know! And I am delighted to see it back. Apparently avatars are now skewed unless the original is perfectly square, or you use that little box to clip the original. They are also sometimes skewed in those little boxes that now appear at other places around the board (new thread, e.g.). There's probably a button somewhere about that, but I dunno. It's a whole new ballgame in the admin areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Fun twitter exchange tonight:Oh brother....

merrieeee Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 He is too funny! Other boards were speculating about his new boyfriend(maybe) and he starts tweeting to keep us occupied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I know! And then he started tweeting about how bad DirectTV (and their service) is! I love him and his sense of humor....and his sense of timing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckiest1 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 My twitter feed was all messed up yesterday....I was getting messages to my mobile phone hours after they were sent. Subsequently I was getting all of Clay's 20 question tweets in the middle of the night. Even though my mobile settlings clearly state that I don't want anything sent to my mobile phone between 11 pm and 7 am. Argh, I finally turned the damn thing off. Funny to read this morning though!

aikim Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I personally hate speculation about his personal life on the boards and I find it rather sad that he would have to come up with diversionary tactics to nip it in the bud..he shouldn't have to do that. He has made it perfectly clear that his private life is off limits; disappointing that his own fans can't respect that.

ldyjocelyn Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Cute and snarky article:Aiken for a New Show: What Should Clay Aiken Do Next?Suggestions are CSI Miami, Live with (Clay) and Kelly (with the caveat that the author would have put her hand over Kelly's mouth too!), Two and A Half Men, and a singing competition show that Clay would host.
