• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I am on a distinguished road, says a small green blob above my avatar. :mix-smi: So are lots of other people.

Really? Wot does it mean? Or is this some Facebook-related nonsense I can happily ignore?
 
Hairyspin, y'all read-my-mind!

Don'tya just LOVE IT when these li'l gizmos show up without an explanation?

Looks like a new feature included in the last forums software upgrade.

Looks like I'm going offroad! :icon_lol:
 
If you're on an undistinguished road do you:
a. Need to clean your glasses
b. Wipe your gps screen
 
What the green dot stands for is >> SOHCV. Once you get it you have it forever. BTW, in case some of you old fart don't know what that means>> Sim Out House Cootie Virus.
 
I know what a cootie is & I know what a virus is.
I DO NOT know what a "cootie virus" is.

Kindly explain THAT to this old fart. :mix-smi:

Here is a picture of that virus (blown up 1000x times). If you right click and choose 'Download Picture' you MIGHT be able to see what it's all about.

Well, cootie Viruses are fully explained in those old Army films they showed recruits.

By the way - I don't see these things above your avatars. . . I been cheated !!

:running:
 
SOHCV? Shome mistake, shurely.

I should like a second opinion doctor, the blob has disappeared. Does this mean I have now lost my way?? Weird. :isadizzy:
 
Not Nothing

Oh, come on guys. For crying out loud. It's not a virus. It's probably a 'programming' 'typo' by the mods in trying to set up that 'green' dot that when 'on' indicates that that person is 'Online'. That's all it is (or was 'intended' to be). No skeletons. No cutties. No virus. No 'road'. Not even an 'Attitude_Positive' indicater anymore (aparently). So if you are 'Inline' that is Good. If you are 'Online' that is also a Good thing. But you can't be both (hehe).

All joking aside, I've seen other forums operated via vBulletin that have that feature. Generally, it's a rating tool tied to posters giving each other "good reps" or "bad reps" which adjusts the targeted poster's rating up or down - depending upon how it's set up.

Does this sound like something teenagers and bored slackers like ? Yes - exactly. That's the kind of forums that use it. Probably slipped onto ours temporarily by accident of manipulating an upgrade, or something.

Don't get too depressed, Hairyspin - you're probably still marginally acceptable here. . .

:running:
 
There is already a online green light capability next to your user name, it would be interesting to know what the other green blob was/was for.
