Hmmm sorry guys. Getting a bit mixed up there! I think the new release of VB treats 'friends' differently. Not 100 sure though. Perhaps it's a feature

Why the extra pixels. would it not be easier to resize?

Sure, I can make it smaller, but I can barely make out what it is already.
BTW I did make it 80X60, but wasn't able to reduse the file size below 26kb. Forum limitations are 19kb

Well I just noticed that after the update all of my friends are gone completely. Donnhw and xray were just a few that I had that are no longer showing. Don't know if this is widespread or just me but I thought I would let you know.

Check your notifications and see if you have any friend requests awaiting approval.

What's up with the change of having to wait for moderator's approval before a post is visible to other users? I could understand this with "noob" users, but with regular posters? I mean come on... you can always use the edit button or delete your posts if you added them by mistake.

I had a couple but they were new friends requests. None of the friends I had before were there. It isn't a big deal really. I sent out all the request to get them back + a few more so it isn't anything major for you to take your time out of. I just wanted to make you aware that it happened.

Which post mate, did it have multiple links? The new software has multiple anti-spam measures built in so it could be that?
