Re: Introducing Ourselves
No problem And all you have to do to put the smilies in the posts is click on them. They should all be sitting in 2 rows to the right of the posting box. :smile:

It's the same for things like italics, bold etc. Just click on what you want and insert the text in between the 2 codes.

And 'whispers' are when you want to tell one or more other members in particular something without everyone else seeing. Just make sure the whisper is between the 2 whisper codes, unlike an earlier attempt by somebody else on this board. :wink:

Re: Introducing Ourselves
Wendy, it was nothing that you did - there was a server glitch that occurred in the system a few days ago that caused a few problems. One was wiping members and making 'ghost' ones. As becca said, I had made a mention of it in the Coffee Pot, but as things have been hectic around here, I hadn't gotten around to checking this thread. I had sent you a PM (private mail) but obviously you haven't gotten this. :confused:

Basically, you've now got a choice. You can stick with the new name or we can set it up so you can re-register under the old one. Either way, I can increase your post count back up to where it should have been.

So would you prefer to stick witht he new nickname, or go back to the old one?

Re: Introducing Ourselves
Hi There everyone,

Milky here - lol - I know some will recognise that name from somewhere else... :gagme:

My name is Kylie, I am 31yrs old, I am a SAHM with three boys (although I will freely argue the point that it is 4 with my partner in crime :sweet: ). Christopher :smile: is 9yrs old, Brendon :winkwink: is 4yrs old, and Jack :baby: arrived on January 23 2002, he's a cheeky little one too - that's for sure. :rotflmao:

I live in Western Australia, and have only been here for 2 years - I moved from Sydney to be with my lovely man :tongue: and we'd been friends for over 7 years, and then we just decided to give it a shot, and now we're engaged, have another little boy added to the family, and we're getting married next September.

It's good to see some familiar people in here - and it's refreshing to see there's freedom of speech, and no nastiness. I'm happy to be here!

Re: Introducing Ourselves
Hi Patti and welcome to the boards. :smile:
You probably have to actually click on the word "indifferent". I'm not 100% sure of that, but I know tha before I figured it out initially, it was a word and not a picture that came after "Current Mood". Just click whatever's next to it and then you should get a pop-up box with all of the moods in it.
And if you ever need any help with anything else, let us know. :sun:

This board drew my attention because I am interested in all things Australia. I have always dreamed of visiting there, and was starting to really think it would happen two years ago then - BOOM! - got pregnant after 10 years of marriage and being told we were infertile.

:wave: Hi airforceone, don't worry I haven't let a name fool me yet. :biggrin:
I think the only one I've ever seen that was possibly some cause for concern was one that my DH had picked for himself for my original parenting board - namely 'testostorone girl.'
I told him that I wouldn't be suprised if this led people to think he was a transvestite or having a sex change or something. He of course just intended it to be funny. :sigh:

Anyway, I'm Melissa, mum to 2 girls 3.5 and 16 months and we live in Sydney. Glad to have you here. :smile:

HI.

I'm Lisa. SAHM (but working form home - does that count?). I found this site through the forum in Sydneys Child posted by Becca.

I live in inner city Sydney with my DH and three lovely children. 12yrs, 7yrs, and the newest member 11months. So I have the whole range to be confused about, teenager, middle child and baby.

Look forward to chatting on Bb.

Just to check......Jessica and Dylan aren't twins with a gap between are they?? You have them down as being 12 days apart and as you have the 17th before the 5th, I'm wondering if the years are actually correct or if that's a typo. Sorry, I'm just such a stickybeak, I like to be sure of how old everbody's kids are..(although everyone will tell you I get them wrong all the time :wink: )

And if the girls get a bit too rough playing with you, then I'll lend you my :whip: and you can get them all back into line. :biggrin:
