Oh Great One, oh Wise One,
Why, sometimes, are the ladybugs brown and on their feet, other times they look like coloring book drawings? Why are they never red and on their backs, as I so often find them while cleaning? I'm sure there is some secret meaning to it all.
Please clear up this mystery for me, (at your convenience) so that my mind may be free to ponder the other great mysteries of life, such as how all my missing belongings move themselves from their hiding places to the first location I looked for them . . . (Oh, and if you can answer that question, too, I would be ever so grateful.)
Humbly thanking you, I am,
Forever Mystified

I am NOT the great PoohBah of computer stuff, but I know about bugs....  as an old camper and nature nut..... I think that when they are COLOURED and upright and smiling it means that there is NEW MATERIAL which YOU (the viewer) haven't yet seen on that board. So dive in and prepare to be amazed, educated, re-assured, comforted, amused, whatever When the Ladybugs are pale and dead-looking it IMPLIES that there is nothing new for YOU to see since the last time you visited this board. NOTE: in fact, you may NOT have read each and every single solitary post.....but you DID click to open that board. if I am wrong on my explanation, I trust someone will correct me.    Luv from Script (dinosaur, old bat, aging relic) |

Thank you, Oh Great Script of the Flowing Pen. I am forever in your debt, as this has caused me great personal anxiety and inner turmoil. Your wise words have freed my mind from this terrible burden. Forever Gratefully Yours, The Unworthy One I am NOT the great PoohBah of computer stuff, but I know about bugs.... as an old camper and nature nut.....  [/quote]NOTE: in fact, you may NOT have read each and every single solitary post.....[/quote] but I've probably read most of them.  Thanks,  Script (Them's some wicked little emoticons you got up there. I love the snazzy little red convertible. Someday I'll ask where those come from. For now, my little pea brain is fried from contemplating the bugs.  ) |

As to why they are never red in color is a Proboards thing. There are no color choices for the admins. It's brown & black or colorless and nothing more.
Edited for correction:
My memory did not serve me correctly. The ladybugs are a graphic of Missy's, who designed the skin we are using. It is not a proboard thing at all.
Therefore it could be changed via changing the skin.

I made a correction to my reply above regarding the origin of the ladybugs.

But if you are at the Home index, you just get ladybugs. If you are in any of the individual boards (i.e.; Introductions, General Board, ListZilla, By-Ways, Technical Help) you get the 'little New sign.' |
