OK, so things look a little different now. Made a bunch of upgrades to the boards to fix a few things and to allow for more good stuff to be done and added in the future. Hope you like~!

If you have any immediate questions or comments please put them on this thread.

We will add some "How-To" things here later on: http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripertalk/forumdisplay.php?f=94

WTF is a iTrader?


crickey.. i thought i landed on Stripah Surf at first....


PM's seem a tad harder to navigate...

i'm old...

i'll try to adjust...

thanks

Couldn't tell you what SS looks like ;)

"iTrader" is a rating system for the classifieds. Kind of like Ebay, if you do good transactions you'll get a good rating, crappy work, crappy ratings. Someone does a lot of trading with a good reputation, people will know.

800x600 It worked fine before..

I had to move it up a notch to 1024x768 to get into the 21st century :hee: . Is there a reason for the 800x600?

because NIB is still using his first computer he ever bought back in the dinosaur ages
maybe he needs to get with it, or someone will feel sorry for him and donate a more up to date puter to him, or he could buy one with all his winnings from all the tournaments he wins, or the bets he will be placing on his Jets

Hehehe - It's not implemented yet - and it won't be until we work out the details ;) - but it is most likely coming should we find a practical way to make it work. One of the core underpinnings of Ebay is its rating system and the fact that people (most anyway) want to have a good rating system and act accordingly - furthers the community in a way with checks and balances. It also adds a level of information a prospective buyer can use to decide whether or not to do a transaction.

Hahaha - same as above - we'll be playing with this one a bit. We can jiggle the handle at any time and reset the numbers back to default. Last thing I want to see is in late January with people doing the reputation version of Electro-Shock Therapy like that Simpson's episode - one of the funniest 80 seconds of TV:
