It burns us, master!

It's not me. It's the other one.

What's with the Libertas logo??

I have absolutely NO idea.

I think Auditor is experimenting with the config software.

I've just noticed when posting that if you copy and paste from word, the post comes out very small and with a strange font. Is there anything you can do about that?

Looks like Audi broke loads of stuff...and then disappeared.

Is anyone else getting doubles on the top banner?

Is it ok now?

There's some animé characters in the top banner but they're supposed to be there I'd say.

Rocky are you still having trouble with the text? I'd say the inter compatibility between Word and this text editor are at fault. It's Bill Gates fault. Sorry. You could boycott Microsoft !

And the Libertas logo ... I really like that image

Yeah the problems is still there. I often copy and paste posts from Microsoft word because my spelling isn't great, but I guess I'll have to cope without that for the time being.

sorry had to quote that, so you don't delete it in the morning.

Im not sure if this is the right thread to ask these questions, but here goes anyway...

Is this site intended to be permanent if P.ie is dead?

Will it keep going in the event of a P.ie revival?

Maybe if you start a whole new thread on it somewhere - it might make a good discussion. Where to start it though ... ? (current news and politics?)

I was thinking of creating some more sub fora
in Energy Infrastructure and Environment (or somewhere else ?) - Food
and Agriculture. It wouldn't be right for a bunch of
pseudo-intellectuals living in an agricultural country to not have to
face up to discussing agriculture, food and health (?) at some point.

It's
a bit anal but I was also thinking of starting a thread on food prices.
We could keep an eye on how they are going up. Maybe that should be in
the forum The Valve where I reckon posters could put their gripes about
bad drivers, shite roundabouts,
ignorant bus drivers, etc.? Although it's not really a whine about food more of a track kept on it.

Interesting
stats you have in the agriculture thread Kate re. 80% of income spent
on food as opposed to now. Maybe food should be in culture and society.
Food and food lore. What do ye think?

Food and food lore? - yes, yes and yes again!

(please and thank you )

You could put agriculture under Environment and keep the food prices in the other section where i think a lot of people not interested in ag issues might contribute more.

I love the idea of a food forum where we can swop menus and hangover remedies.

A difficulty is that food production and price is going to be a big political issue for the foreseeable future.

I like the idea of a thread that tracks food prices and futures here and globally and think it would be valuable. I apologise for messing up the minerals tracking thread with related political stuff - can it be moved into a new thread. Where do we put 'resource wars' stuff?

Just make new threads for resource wars and call it what you like - "Mad Max coming to your City soon - in person". I can try to move it out later but it's no harm that it's there only that it could be the start of a good conversation if moved into a new thread. I don't think it will happen (resource wars) but yourself and youngdan's posts gave me the creeps last night I have to say...

Suggestions for changing this place?
Perhaps Evoting if you are doing root admin for the board you might look around for a warmer skin.

http://en.hitskin.com/ has lots although many decidedly garish.

The forumotion support forum is here http://help.forumotion.com/index.htm

Light green, blue and biscuit can make for a pleasing background.

http://www.irelandfirst.net/forums/index.php

Do you not like the blue colour of this place ? Light green and biscuit .. hmm. If you see a skin you like yourself would you put a reference to it here? Evoting chose this one - M7 I think and I like it. I adjusted two things though.

Is irelandfirst your site TT? Thanks for putting this link there if it is.

The strange death of politics.ie ...

Bigger, more contrasty font please sitemaster, if this is possible

Yes cactus flower is right - and I thing TT is on the right track. This light blue is too cool a colour. (I am sorry to ask for you to change something, realising that this entails more work for you which I am not able to share the burden of)

What about this then ?

https://machinenation.forumakers.com/portal.htm?theme_id=100064

Is this too much ?

https://machinenation.forumakers.com/portal.htm?theme_id=103049

Yes that is too much. Thanks though. The present scheme is basically ok because it has the virtue of clean lines and simplicity but the trouble is that it is only differentiated by various shades of blue. Which is definitely hard on the eyes for some of us...

He3, the second one was a joke. See the previous one.

I should point out at this time that I'm colour blind.
