If you want to use the extended icons and your subject line has fewer than three vowels in it, you may need to add an extra vowel. If you find that cumbersome, you are certainly welcome not to use the extended icons. It is a martini glass. (I assume you're talking about the "What is your Favorite Social Activity" thread.) If you can't see the martini glass when you're viewing the list of threads on the board, please let me know what operating system, browser, and browser version you're using. You can see it? It doesn't show for me. Our OS is Windows Vista. That's all I know and DH is sleeping. Oh, and we have Internet Explorer. <<POM runs before Virgil nukes her>>

Pom, I know what you're talking about. I used to be able to change that part too (main EE page showing all the threads, just to the left of the titles...) I noticed it when Virgil moved the brain puzzle thread over and "marked" it with a strobe light. So I tried that a while ago and it worked (for a recipe thread I think). But now when I try it it only marks my post, like it does for you, and I get the funny little accents. Oh yeah, the french phrase literally means "I don't know" That's why I was teasing Cheesy when she said "Say What?" I took two years of french but I only remember a few phrases...that one and "voulez vous cocher avec moi" (which I learned before I ever heard the song and J'ne tres beau (had a dork friend that used to say both of them to me all the time). (Virgil, I have both Vista and XP with IE and it shows the accents on both) I also don't show any kind of keyboard for language selection when I post...

Apple and POM: I can't reproduce the problem running IE 8.0. You can determine which version of Internet Explorer you're running by click on the "Help" menuitem (becomes the "Help" icon in IE 7.0+) and choosing "About Internet Explorer". That will provide you with the version number of the browser. If you are working with IE version 6.x, there's not much I can do for you. If, however, you are working in version 7.0+ or higher, please let me know. It's "couchez". "Cocher" means "covering the sex", specifically when referring to birds. fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/c%C3%B4cher

Lol, couchez--it's even closer to how it sounds. It's late, I'm sleepy, my french is rusty. I could site the poem about the little pig though...except I don't know how to spell it (the whole poem, not just "pig" which is cochon, or something like that...) But it's about a fat little pig, that lived in a big house, and something about a garden and my cousin.

Dammit I'm sleepy, I don't wanna look up a version.
OK, fine, it's 8.0.6001.18999
The accent quirks don't bother me, it's just funny.

The accent marks don't bother me either, and I thought it was funny too. Virgil, your explanation exploded my brain which will be restored once my coffee is done brewing! I am running FF 3.6.12, and I do not see the icon in front of the thread title, unless it was put there at thread origination. It appears that you have to do the icon when you originate the thread, not afterwards by modifying the first post?

DH always calls bugs or quirks in code a "feature" - I kind of like the new feature! Thanks, Virgil! It's obvious you're really putting a lot into helping get this site running smoothly!

The first 12 in the dropdown (above 'Money') are the originals. Everything below that is 'extended'.
It's odd that people are having problems in IE 8 and FireFox. A curiosity from a programmer's perspective since I can't reproduce the problem at my end.
It might be that none of the scripts are running on the board pages.
Apple, POM, cheesy: when you're viewing the EE board (and seeing the funny accents): scroll down to the very bottom of the page; is there a "Forgot Password?" link after "Report Abuse | Mobile |" etc.?

OK. Apple. You should now see a big white rectangle above the search box on the bottom of the screen. It may have text in it. Do you see it, and does it have text in it?

Virgil, I don't know what the hell you're talking about but I exalted you anyway because you remind me of DH and DS. Thanks for making my computer stuff work.

No problem--it's hard to troubleshoot when you can't replicate the problem! (and I'm just doing laundry for now so it's not like I'm busy This is what shows up in the box when I'm on the EE board. There's also a long box under this thread that sometimes gets text in it as well, but it's empty right now. Init OK vBCx.isThreadList returns true OK document.body.getElementsByTagName() OK; returned 12 oTabs[7].className == "bordercolor" v_getObjByTree( TABLE.[0]-TBODY.[0]-TR.[0]-TD.[0]-TABLE.[0]-TBODY ) OK; Found 47 rows. oRows[2].children.length = 7; oSubj.getElementsByTagName("font")[0].tagName = FONT OK; v_dicxDecObj( oSubj...[0].c[0].tagName = A OK; v_dicxDecObj( oSubj...[0].c[0].c[0].tagName = name = "TypeError"; message = "'getElementsByTagName(...).0.children.0.children.0.tagName' is null or not an object"; number = "-2146823281"; description = "'getElementsByTagName(...).0.children.0.children.0.tagName' is null or not an object";
