Personally, I think it looks a lot better now.

Thanks!

I think this is basically the same as going to "active topics" through the menu, so that's not really necessary now. I hope this makes things easier to navigate around here now!
Thanks for doing all of this, Lomm.

(...it's much appreciated)

We have known for all time that they are but that is what makes them fun. It is generally not considered polite to call them that. I believe 'sanity-challenged' is the current term.

Oh ... wait ... you mean ...

Sorry. Please disregard this post.

I believe that you failed to convert from miles per hour to furlongs per fortnight.

The 'thirty-eight members online' is the total for twenty-four hours. The 'nine members listed' is activity in the last five minutes.

And thus the very reason every legal contract should have a sanity clause contained within it.

I am quite sure that complicates matters greatly because one party to the contract will surely say at some point: "I was crazy to sign that".

And exactly what I told the judge that one time, but he told me my excuse was irrelevant.

That's when I told him I once shot one of those in my pajamas.

(...he still wasn't impressed with my argument, and ended up ruling for the guy who was suing me)

That's better then! How do you find out how many in the past 24 hrs?

Actually here Hibi, by going to and using the following SSO function...

http://silverscreenoasis.com/oasis3/mem ... ?start=350

...I counted 67 new members (most of whom I recognized as being members of the old TCM.com boards) who have become members of SSO since TCM announced its closure, and starting with our friend EP Millstone when he joined up on Oct 20, 2022.

I've checked there before. But how to know who's been online in a 24 hr period?

Sorry, that I don't know, Hibi.

Ya see, the only reason I posted this was because I thought I remembered an earlier conversation (perhaps in another of these kinds of threads regarding new SSO memebership around here) in which I thought you stated there were only a very small number of former TCM.com regulars who migrated here and as compared to the number who decided to join TB's new website and which I recall as being a much larger number.

However and due to your question here, perhaps I was mistaken about this and that the aforementioned conversation I remembered reading was actually about the relative number of people being online at these two websites at any given time or during any specific length of time and such as in the case of a 24 hour duration.

(...is that correct?)
