This is new! …My browser has developed a ‘drop down’.

Locked

Whenever I ‘hover’ over a TR title I get what would be a drop-down dialogue box (like a shell window) EXCEPT this window is just 1 pixel wide!!!

A single pixel wide but about 4 text lines deep.

Can’t seem to get rid of it – it doesn’t bother me other than irritate the hell out of me when I use the mouse.

Any thoughts?

My browser is Firefox 2.04

This is really getting on my tits (a common Scottish term!) – evidently the term was edited by the system!

Four-letter words, yes – by all means censor them, but…

t.i.t.s. ?

Seriously, we all have two of them!

And the above problem is getting on mine!

—-As I said, a Scottish term! Not something that requires censorship.

Me Mum would wash yur mouth out with soap!

ROTFLMAO!
I laughed hard when I read the PM.

It was censored because in the US, t*ts is considered vulgar slang and a very derogatory term. Since this is a site based in the US, it’s on their ‘no go’ list.
If this was a Brit or Scots site, I’m sure it would fly.

Come to think of it though, t*ts is also a species of bird… and c*ck is a type of bird.. I just tested that and it gets ‘yanked,’ too.

[i]yanked[/i]… I just made a three way pun. 😀

Not really wirth a thumb, …speaking in Scottish

But anything to get the point across!

Did the “tits” disappear?

Gone…

‘Yanked’ again.

evidently, the context the word is used in makes no diff.

Did you get the Firefox drop-down issue figured out?
Sorry I couldn’t help. I’m not using Firefox presently.
