<p>:(</p>

<p>I miss the exclamation marks among other things…</p>

2

<p>Me too. I think you can still PM her. Are you going to be visiting your mom soon?</p>

3

<p>No plans to see mom any time real soon but I am also in the mood for that beachwalk as soon as I get down there.</p>

4

<p>Good, me too!</p>

5

<p>Yeah!!! Where DID Berurah go???</p>

<p>I hope Berurah would be proud of me for figuring out how to write posts that look as lovely as hers!!!</p>

6

<p>gone with marite and robyrm, I’m afraid…</p>

7

<p>I heard from her that she is working on her writing in other venues - so her creativity is advancing!</p>

8

<p>She has gone the way of all good Ccers…to another venue.</p>

<p>I really miss Berurah!!!</p>

<p>She brought a lot of fun and enthusiasm to CC :)</p>

<p>I think she felt hurt that some people complained about her colors and exclamation points!</p>

<p>but I sure wish she’d come back!!!</p>

10

<p>Hey, I was thinking about her too… for one reason… as I watch the start of the JHU vs Duke lacross rematch… this time for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!</p>

11

<p>I was wondering where beurah was, too. I still can’t even figure out how to do smiley faces, much less the colors and fonts. Hmmmm… should I wake the kid who got in at 3:00 to watch the lacrosse championship?</p>

<p>Check out <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=67342[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=67342&lt;/a&gt; :).</p>

<p>BTW, here’s where smilies come from: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/misc.php?do=showsmilies[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/misc.php?do=showsmilies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>And here are instructions for changing colors, sizes, etc.–though I think the moderators sometimes need to downsize excessively large fonts to keep the site running smoothly: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/misc.php?do=bbcode[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/misc.php?do=bbcode&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Wow Andi those smileys are so cool!</p>

14

<p>B has apparently been busy talking to the Christian Science Monitor instead! Check the thread and link on CC being quoted in an article . . .</p>

15

<p>And she is getting her own thread here after all! :D</p>

16

<p>Special fonts and smileys are for accent only. The very infrequent use of CC’s more colorful items does not cause problems. </p>

<p>The threads that are mostly composed of consecutive posts displaying excessive exclamation points, excessive colors and smileys are different. For those threads, the first post will be edited, all subsequent posts sharing the same attributes simply deleted. </p>

<p>OK, I’ll ask a stupid question- If this forum doesn’t want posts with smilies and colors, then why have them available? When creating this forum it was possible to leave the “extras” off.</p>

<p>Just curious, I have no desire to use these at this time but might in the future. BTW, I am on another “adult” forum where many use the smilies to convey emotion that othrwise might not be “read”. I would say that most on that forum are far from childish! Smilies and color do not make ones post childish (I know, that was my choice of words); sometimes it just adds extra meaning.</p>

<p>I miss Berurah too. :(</p>

<p>sarorah thanks for the compliment. Too bad the moderators saw fit to take them all out. I assume you did something that was deemed too ‘youthful’ also. </p>

<p>I think I’ve just about had it with this forum.</p>

<p>Trinity - Did you really mean to say that? I mean, we’ve scaled back the fonts and colors. Everything in moderation, right? If people don’t want to read posts by certain members then they don’t have to read them. Like I said, did you really mean to say that?</p>
