Welcome Dave - as a Mod - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

TriBi · 1st Jun 2005, 06:55 AM

Thought I'd put this here as it seems to be the most "high traffic" forum.

In case no-one had realised, your Mods here are largely an "older" crowd - with the exception of Matt who is in his early 20's.

It seemed it would be sensible to get someone on board (as a Moderator) who would be more "in touch" with the people that this site was primarily aimed at - the "coming out" teens. Given that Dave has made a lot of very sensible, sensitive, and common sense posts here, is obviously committed to helping make the place work - well, he was the obvious choice - as us (existing) Mods agreed.

That said, I hope you will all welcome him as a Mod - I'm sure he'll be a great asset to the place...

So....Dave....congrats on being the latest EC Mod!

Hey congrats! I recognized it last night but wasn't sure if you were always a mod or not, or if I just didn't pay attention. I was like "hmm has he always been a mod?" But I guess this clears it all up!

btw just noticed, happy birthday TriBi

Yeh...that's when I lost interest too...but it was fun while it lasted :smile:

Micah · 4th Jun 2005, 07:04 PM

Man, that's awesome. I couldnt stop though :frown:

Well that's 5 minutes of my life wasted. lol.

Paul_UK · 5th Jun 2005, 03:55 AM

Did anyone find the white button? Does it actually exist......

Micah · 5th Jun 2005, 05:52 AM

Ok, here's something I noticed that could lead to someone finding the white button.

If you click anywhere in the text above the flash-window, where it says "Whatever you do, do not press the red button......etc" then hit the Tab key, a yellow square forms around the red button.

This is due to the button being an interactive component in the animation. If you do the same thing where there are multiple buttons on the screen at once, it will cycle through the buttons, highlighting them in yellow one at a time.

My theory is that on *one* slide, there will be a white button, which would be visible by using the tab feature. However, Í'm affraid I don't have the patience to try this :P

Goodluck to anyone with enough time

Dave
