Ode to the little missing stars (*)

    Twinkle, Twinkle little stars
    How I wonder where you are
    Up above the threads so high
    Like a diamond in the cyber sky
    Twinkle, twinkle, little stars
    How I wonder where you are!

    When the blazing muppets are gone
    When your post is just been replyed on
    Then show us your little light
    Twinke, twinkle all the night
    Twinkle, Twinkle little stars
    How I wonder where you are!

    When the moderator bites and bark
    Thanks to you for your tiny spark
    For I could not see which way to go
    If you did not twinkle so
    Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
    How I wonder what you are!


    Boards without the *'s has become meaningless :(

    Throughout history the search for faith has led men to look to the stars for answers. But only by looking into ourselves may we find it.

    The little stars may well return on the subbed forum but we will have to run tests to see how much CPU overhead they load on the server as they are very processor intensive.

    Nice poem tho :)

    Is the subbed menu coming back? Really miss that feature, but not as much as not being able to use the drop down menus - they keep disappearing just after they come up, so I don't have time to click on them. This happening to anyone else??

    Yes it will be...

    I havent heard of it happening to other people. Can you tell me what browser and OS you are on? (might be better to start a new thread to see if anyone else is having this problem).

    I would have read this thread but didn't, due to the lack of informative stars.

    amp: who blames certain stupid sales reps for selling stuff they weren't fecking susposed to.

    Somehow a couple of weeks ago (I'm presuming it was then, because that's how long it's been happening) the security settings in IE6 were changed on my computer. When I set them back to default the menus worked fine. Always something simple :rolleyes:

    The little stars are back on the Subbed forum menu (which is also back). This is the best we can do at the moment. (mucho thanks to Regi for fix0ring it.)

    If you subscribe to forums (which is a GOOD IDEA) then you will see your favourite forums with *'s if they have been updated since your last visit...
