I like TT's new look, the dark green loo ks good..

“Trail Talk's new look is great. Good Job Matt.

I really like the change from the bright white to a dark forrest green. And the leaf texture to the background is gravy.

I hope the new graphics, and interface loads fast for all. The left side bar that tells us who is logged and has the page open is great. It will cut back on trolls, however it could allso spawn chatroom styled threads.

And the spell checker built intot he text box is great. It will help me.

All and all great job. I like it, I hope others do too.”

“Sometimes IT scares me......”

“Tea, quit smoking that stuff. It WILL harm a developing mind.”

“I have cable so my server runs faster then most others. Your 56k server may not have accepted the new changes. Yet.

Remeber how long it took every one to be on the same page last time matt change the site?”

“I'm on DSL. Eat my dust.”

“Ha! cable is faster and if you have: Sprint, MCI, Bell Atlantic, At&T or verison your DSL isn't all that fast. Infact those companys are comparably slower against other serveses.”

“No, it's not. Cable is a shared connection which slows it down. Again, eat my dust.”

“What the hell are you talking about! Your slow connection hasn't even loaded the new changes.”

“Whatever. If you are unaware of the facts that I have presented then perhaps you should look it up.”

“sorry to burst your bubble Skully...

DSL has to be direct to the hub because it's on crappy wire... you are shared after that point

Cable is shared because there is more bandwidth...

the Cable is slow because it's shared was a myth that they stopped advertising because of court order...”

“I didn't get that from an advertisement.”

“nobody in my neighborhood or any one close to my house to effect my band with. My connection is crazy fast.”

“Matt is so Pimp!!!!!!

Good job dude!

“I use both types, cable at home and DSL at work. The cable is a lot faster than DSL.”

“I love my DSL!!!!!

“anything else sux!!! Sorry Skully...cable RULES!!! Go Road Runner...beep beep

***disclaimer follows***

Time Warner Cable does pay me to say those things.”

“Mine must be extremely slow, I still see a white background.”

'Cable is a shared connection which slows it down.' - skullcap

You're right. My cable shared connections seems to really drag on downloads. Hardly ever comes over at more than 265 kb per second. But it is a little better than my compuserve rate around 2.65 kb per second. How speedy are your downloads?”

“Ok, both Tea and Mike are smoking the cheap crack because I haven't made any changes.”

“LMAO!”

“Thanks Matt.... I thought I was 'not' seeing things because everything looks the same.

I'm no techy at all, but I have had cable and now have DSL. This particular DSL kicks the crap out of the cable I had. I guess it depends on where ya live.”

“Matt changed the site's look AGAIN???

I must've missed it.”

“Everything looks the same to me too. Tea: Don't you know yer suppose to pass that to the left??”

“I don't smoke crack!!!

I smoke cigars!!!!

“The speedtest at Broadband Reports.com sez.....1228kbs. That is not uncommon for DSL in major cities.



Be sure and rinse that grit out of your teeth before bedtime.”

“I think Matt's Hyperdrive is not working properly because my computer is showing a new kick but Trail Talk.”

“DSL is supposed to be able to be set at a higher rate the closer you are to the hub.”

“Matt, you mean to tell me you updated the sign and you forgot?”

“OW.

Ice Ice Baby's credibility takes a hit.

If you mess with them once, they won't believe the next 20 things you say...”

“The Matt the Webmaster posting is a troll, and a clever one at that. Notice, the real Matt doesn't use a comma in his name.

Busted!”

“yes he does, DUMB A$$!!

Look at the e-mail, its matt's e-mail address, and only matt the real webmaster can edit someones e-mail”

“This oughta be good”

“Bull#&%!$ greenhorn! Santa can alter that #&%!$ as well.”

“well, if i am wrong, i'm sure a troll has just been created regardless.”

“Greenhorn!!

I remeber your first post. We were all so proud. 6 paragraphs 21 sentances.

BB you are WRONG .

To bad”

“*too”

“So why isn't that fancy spell check working Tea? You've overloaded it! It's buckled under the pressure.”

“I thought Tea's first post on this thread was surprisingly clever. I'm sure many of us were thinking to ourselves "what difference? It looks very similar to the old TT."

Good stuff Tea!”

“I don't see any differences. What are you guys talking about?”

“It's all pretend BBinkley.”

“I was ready to change ISPs ;)”

“You can test your speed here. I'm using Adelphia cable...for the moment at least. As soon as they go under, I'll be out of luck, but they're the only game in town right now. My speed was just tested at 4579.1 Kbps. That's 3X faster than a T1 line. Yes, it slows downa bit during busier times. Sometimes it goes down as low a 1 Mbps.”

“Oh yeah, other speed tests.

SpeedGuide.net provides some great Cable and DSL links. You can tweak your registry to improve your speed.

Gibson Research Corp has some good Security Links. You can also test your security using ”

I am about 100 feet of Cat 5 away from a T-Span.....

Changes tend to get here pretty d@mn quick.......”

“Not to rain on anyone's parade, but technically the speed of the connection is not a good sign of how fast changes will be seen. When I changed the format a year ago, I also changed IP addresses. It is this DNS change that must be recognized by your DNS server, not your actual connection. So, technically, the quality of your provider will determine how fast you see any major changes.”

“Hi Tea, You haven't posted much since I started TTing.
I have enjoyed this thread a lot. Very clever.”
