Title colors are OK, BLINKING title colors would make me very afraid.

Blink was removed from HTML code for a reason :) That being said, there are several ways of embedding blink-like code into php.

Blinking and/or colored Subject lines are going to turn this place into a Christmas Tree.

Can we vote on the colors/ no colors option? Or will there be a way to turn them off on our end? I have noticed some people are using the colored text in their ads. It often makes the ads difficult to read.

Colored text has always been available *in* posts.

Like this.

It can't be turned off within the post. That's a good thing, actually.
[When staff makes changes, we typically do it like this.]
That would be less obvious, if it was the same color as the rest of the text.

As for turning it of within the subject line? I don't know.
Adam's just now doing it, so the specifics haven't been rolled out to us yet.

I completed upgrading to the latest version of phpBB to help with stability.

Posting allowed every 4 days instead of 7 for select users.

I've completed the groundwork for Warhammer40k.com to improve on its stability, lack of spam.

Fixing Bartertown forum permissions (we've had bugs in the past, I think I've narrowed them down.

Define "select users" please..
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack
