Hey Guys! Have some fun and let us see those reports.. Oh yeah, leave some boots in the stores for us poor souls who couldn't join in this time..

Hi guys! (Thanks Lion for pointing out this thread to me.) Yes, you haven't heard from me on the board for some time. I still check in now and then though, but I haven't had enough time to read al the threads. I'm spending a lot of time with my girlfriend nowedays... (You know how it goes... young couple in love etc. etc... ) But anyway.. Sorry to hear you're getting together on such short notice.. I wish I could be there, but I can't. We have a birthday party to go to on saturday which I really don't want to miss. So, I hope we can meet again maybe some other time soon. (Kind of starting to miss you guys )

I like the screensaver-idea, will there also be a KDE version for Linux? Anyway, I'll try and get some decent pic for it. Hosting it in the site is no problem, still plenty of space for links on the intro-page.

I have those same boots without the steel toecap. Bought at Silhouette december last year. Very nice and comfy boots.

There's also a legend near the bottom of the topics list explaining the icons.

hiya jeff

i am currently rebuilding my website (again) and i have found a new web site hosting service (lunarpages) thanks to this forum

so i will be moving my site by the end of the month hopefully....

glad u is ok...............how was your london visit ?

Hey Richie,

My visit was very nice, thanks.. There's a little report in the "Real Life Shopping and Fun Meetings" forum. To bad you weren't there with us..

It's ALIVE! Aaaaaahhhhrg!!!

This should be # 300, meaning I go up .5".. Nice! At least I got the sandals while it's still summer and very hot over here.

Well, I'm a righty.. But I do the mouse-thing with my left as well as my right hand.. So I'm a very little bit lefty too.

(Note for people who didn't know: Tottenham Court Road is famous for having lots of electronics and computer shops on it, selling all manner of new and second-hand equipment - i.e., geek heaven!)

Oh darn! Now why didn't I know that when I was on my London trip 2,5 weeks ago.

I dont think there is a problem Phoenix, you probably were online the same time as Laurie. If you th look at one of her posts, you see the one number and if you look at her next on another page you see a higher numner, that means Laurie has made a new post in the meantime. The number is by the way always the total postcount and not the postnumber.

They do not seem to have updated their Size up site for ages -this would probably explain it.

Any idea if they have any new syles especially in larger sizes, and have they started accepting Credit Cards for online orders yet.

There are not many new styles on the site yet, only some new thigh-boots, and they seem to go at larger sizes. Also a lot of shoes have moved to the sales section now, so I suspect we can see more new styles soon. To bad they have only updated the Dutch version of their site, the English one hasn't been updates for ages.

They do accept creditcards now, however you need to print and fax your order with the cc-details and your signature. There's no secure site yet.

Well, one idea would be to post your stories here on the forums. If they are to big for one post you can always split them up and post say a chapter each weak or so. Another idea is to make your own website devoted to these stories.

Ofcourse Dexter, that's the difference between full leather upper and lining boots and man made materials. I can't blame you for appreciating quality.

After I wore them some time I decided to buy them and we had a verry nice conversation.. annybody who wants to buy high heels and is nervous about it go to silhouette it's the best.

She didn't by any chance tell you she sold the same boots to another guy November last year while there where about 8 more guys there browsing around the shop at the same time, now did she..

I have exactly the same boots, size 41.

Ah, good one Tom.. I guess I didn't notice this because I always logon because it helps identifying new posts and to use the preferences in my profile. I think for those who don't do this yet it's best to just make a habbit of always loging on before doing stuf on the board, basically their are only things to gain from this and none to lose. You can even use the autologon feature, so you can't forget to logon.

Nice boots Luc.. Been thinking about a pair of jeans-look boots myself lately..

agree with Laurie on that one. The heels in the pics look higher than stated. could it be that they are measured in a diffrent way? Anyone who lives nearby who knows anything about it? They have some nice styles, but I don't wanna buy boots that look high and turn out to be only 4".

Uhhm, maybe you didn't read my previous post. I said they definately have some heels higher as 4", but they might not be on their site. I bought a pair of 5,5" from them about two years ago (at that time they were on the site, not any more ). If you are not sure about the heelheight of a particular style in a particular size, just e-mail them and ask. I'm sure they'll be glad to provide you with any information you want.

Well, one could ofcourse always mail them and ask for the availability in other sizes, the sizes mentioned on the site are all in-stock sizes. Unfortunately they don't have all their models on the site, I know they also have 5" models, not sure if they have higher ones. As for the polls, look at the bottom of the "new topic" screen..

<table> tag and some others might indeed come in handy now and then and poses no security risc. I might add them sometime, for now you'll have to live with the board default of , , <u> and <pre>.

Anyway, the forums aren't meant to design webpages in, they are meant to post posts and to beautify the posts BBCode is sufficient imho.

BBCode rules.. But without kidding.. Only a limited set of HTML is available at the moment, <img not being one of them. This is a security measure and since BBCode works like a charm I see no problems with it..

Hi Susan,

I tried to use my member name but it wouldn't let me.

Are you sure you didn't make a typo, it really should work. Nothing has changed and you are still in the memberslist (as Susan (the original)).

Hey, it actually works!!! Is "BB Code" somehow related to the Apple-specific "BBEdit" html text editor by Bare Bones Software??

Ofcourse it does work!

It think BBCode stand for Bulletin Board Code as in PHP Bulletin Board maybe..?

One question though. What is the Usergroups button supposed to be for?

One of the new board-features is to make people member of selected usergroups and give these groups certain rights or special forums that other people don't have. At the moment there's we don't use this feature except for the moderators group and forum.

Actualy, it doesn't depend on the keyboard you have. It does depend on the keyboard you have setup in your operating system and the characterset you are using. And ofcourse also on the kind of OS you are using. I think at work under WinXP Ctrl-Alt-E is the Euro symbol.
