if it has a dot then it means you've posted in that forum. if it's closed, no new posts; if it's open, new posts.

and instead of post new threads for each question, you can PM any of the mentors.

If you got the black spot on/in an envelope that means that your going to die boy! This was used a lot by the Pirates,(i think) they would give an envelope with a large black spot on it, to the person that they where going to kill, and then that person would as you could imagine be incredibly scared for the short remainder of his live until his assasin comes along to kill him.

I just hope your still alive to read this post.

You think that was a dump question? When I first read your post I thought you might be asking about a mail envelope that returned from the post-office with a big black dot on it.

Yip, same here.


Is it just me, or does the 'appove' smiley look more like someone feeling smug than approving?

Here I was thinking that you all meant this smilie --> , which is the one I meant when I said it looked like; ""Well sometimes I'm an idiot too" smilie!"...NOT this one (which I now realize is the Approve smilie) --> , which looks more like "Big Cheesy"-Grinning, to me .

Lets keep them all, to each their own!

Hey, don't feel bad Gale I've been around since the start
of PF3 (just since April, before that we had PF2 of which
I was a member for about 8 - 9 months) and I never wondered
about these dots or knew why they're there. Now that's dumb !

Live long and prosper.
