LMAO..

N/t stands for No text.. It's usually used for threads where the headline says it all and no additional text is needed :wink:

Of course, the correct way to do it is to put the "n/t" in the subject itself so that people don't click the topic unnecessarily.

No big deal though.

because putting "nt" in the actual message causes there to actually be text in it :)

Okay...now everybody knows what n/t means :lol: :lol: :lol:

So I guess the "poof" means you think the wave in the Caribbean has fizzled out :?:

Some boards allow you to just type the subject and leave the message part blank. Since this board doesn't allow that (I ran a test to find out), just type "n/t" in the message as well as the subject.

To people with slow dial-up connections (like me) it can be annoying to click on a subject and wait for a page to load, only to discover that there's no message. Most people just want to read a post without replying. N/t should only be omitted from the subject if there's no space for it.

The text for this board appears fairly quickly, but some of the Avatars have a pretty mean delay that causes the formatting to jump around. Guess in an emergency you could turn images off in your browser options. IE6 click tools/ internet options / advanced. Of course then you would miss all the pertinent graphics as well.
