I'm sad now!!

Anyway, lots of work to do! *toddles off*

*huggles caro* I forgive you!

xD

...And I hope England beat Croatia. If they don't it will be so humiliating!

Oh. The Christmas Smiley is awesome. But isnt't a liiiittle early? You know, just a tad.

Nope, not early at all! We've got to start doing Christmas things earlyish on here, so that there's well..time to do them.

.. course, dude! xD

*gives manly handshake*

there! XD

annnd *hugglesmoochiesclings muchlyyyyyyyyyyyyy* I'll miss ya, Juneybug! Take care! *huggles*

You think it's too early for Christmas?

In England, the shops start putting out their Christmas stock before Halloween, and I'm told that the Christmas light switch on this year in Birmingham was on the 11th November.

.... Every single Christmas lights switch-on in Manchester was this month. ALL the Christmas lights are on here.

And obviously you haven't been past shops and restaurant which advertise their Christmas stuff in AUGUST. AUGUST!!!!!

Oh. And hi. XD *waves to all* Hope you're well

The stupidest thing I've encountered was when I went into work (Boots) the Saturday after Christmas last year, and they were putting Easter Eggs out. Yeah.

So...should I hold off on posting up the Christmas skin? I was going to do it today, but you all seem very anti-xmas :D

Yay :D I've been ready for Christmas since before Halloween (probably because Christmas = holidays = going home for two weeks).

So...I went ahead and put the skin up. I'm impatient like that Thoughts?

Did you change it to something? Or did it go like that itself?

Ok...

Well, the text editor changed earlier. You need to make sure you're not on the WYSIWYG mode and entering BBCode. If you're on WYSIWYG, the A/A button will be highlighted red. To get off of it, click the A/A and it'll stop being red and the normal editor will be in use.

Did that make sense? Basically, you can't use BBcode with the WYSIWYG.

OK, scratch that I just remembered that the editor for putting sigs in is different to the one for making replies.

So...I would recommend just trying to add your sig again, see if that works.

Hmm...I can't understand why it would do that. Put in a post between the

Code:

[code][/code]

tages what you want and I'll see if I can get it to work...

Code:

Like this?

Some of your BBCode was in the wrong place/missing.

Is it all right now?

Hey everyone!

I'm stressed out cuz I have a maaaajor party to go to later and I can't be arsed! I don't wanna get ready.

Anyway, about the new skin. I'm not loving it! For some reason everything is harder to read!!

I have no idea why people's signatures are messing up.

I don't think it can be to do with the skin, because all that's changed there is the colours and images...nothing to do with sigs.

I think it might perhaps be more to do with the new text editor they've implemented....I've figured out how to turn it off now, but sigs still keep going wrong.

I can't get onto the support forum to ask - the site won't load for me. As soon as I can get on, I'll try and find out what the problem is.

lol!
Does it have anything to do with the change of background because all the black writing has gone white *scowls at the computer*
:xmastree:

Aww I'll send you a card! From France :D If I knew where to send it

I mean, I could address it like this:

The HE Owl
FINLAND

But I'm not sure it'd get there... :D

Hehe OK :D

Speaking of Christmas, I need to go shopping. So far I have bought four pressies...one for Becky (sister), one for Ettie, and two for my Dad. I have so much left to buy! And there are not nearly enough shops here. And I don't have enough money either

*runs away* :D

I remember in "Plop, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark", he was able to eat a potato whole. Random info there I loved that audiobook when I was little. He met a girl who was waiting for Father Christmas, some astronomer dude who told him about Orion, a boy scout who made him eat a whole potato, a kid who thought he was a Catherine Wheel and an old lady who said he had knobbly knees. Ahh, the joys of childhood, when all it took was that story to make me happy

OMG. the new theme is coooooool! :D - even though it's xmas-y

ROFL Caree XD

but at least the siggy is ok now xD

.. though I think mine is blaaaaaa xD *shrugs* .. I'm too lazy to go and change it right now xD

edit: Polly, if the writing is changed to black, nobody will be able to read properly on the new cool xmas skin xD

edit 2 xD :

Ok. I spoke too soon!

I can read stuff now!

And I want cards!! xD

I need to send out cards and presents too. Although, I don't know how many HE-ers I'm buying presents for. Probably only one.

Can you guess who??

EDIT: I figured out another reason to love this skin! Christmas! And Christmas means....

KITE RUNNER!!!
