This is not really about this site, but I have problems on my home pc when using this site.  I have had that 'being kicked off-line" that I mentioned in another site.  But also, for some reason, when I click the "go" button at the bottom of a page to jump to another site,  it won't work.  Also, even though I do NOT have the don't use smileys button checked, it WILL NOT do smileys!  I am pretty sure this is something to do with my pc, but it is very frustrating.  Any idea how I can fix this?  (tried one more time to use the smile with the , but it didn't work)

I keep getting that error message that I am offline again in the last few minutes.  I was only getting that on the Butcher forum yesterday.  And I wasn't actually off-line!

Most humbly asking, is there any help for us here?     http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,7535.0.html 

  3rd and Last Page mainly..

ok, I know you can get a personalized avatar at 100 posts, but if you are "docked" posts by getting a thread deleted, will you lose your avatar?   

Who are all the "guests" who are showing as on-line.  I could understand a couple people at a time checking out the site to see what it is about, but there are usually 90+ showing.  They can't post, so why just lurk?  Are there really that many non-members lurking?
