    New Forum Feature: Quick Reply

    Okay, here are my testing experiences on Mac OS X 10.2. Mozilla 1.5rc2 - works as expected; scrolls page down to Quick Reply field and activates it so you can type in it. Safari 1.0 - actually activates the Quick Reply field, but fails to scroll the page down to it, giving it the...

    See Baby Snuffleupagus in Santa Rosa

    Which, for those who are wondering, is about an hour's drive north of San Francisco, CA... so not too close to Los Angeles. Nevertheless, it's well worth the effort of going to if you're a Peanuts fan. In addition, right next door to the Schulz Museum is Snoopy's Gallery and Gift Shop, which...

    Crazy Harry's right - it doesn't seem to work with Safari 1.0 on Mac OS X 10.2, for some reason. I'll try other browsers a bit later on. --Scott M.

    vBulletin 3.0 Beta: Questions and Answers

    Great, Phillip, thanks. (I had some other UI suggestions too... they're all in my first post in this thread some time ago when MC first switched to vBulletin 3. :) ) --Scott M.

    vBulletin 3.0 Beta: Questions and Answers

    Is there any chance of getting the "Mark This Forum" read link moved up to the top of the forum pages, or is that just something that can't be changed in the new vBulletin? I've gotten used to most of the other changes, but this is one that keeps bugging me. The threads with unread messages...

    Wicked Glitch

    I'm using Safari 1.0 (v85) on Mac OS X and I'm not seeing that behavior. I did see something like it with one of the beta releases of Safari, but it went away in the final release, so I assumed it was a Safari bug... Dr. Tooth, which browser, which version of it, and which version of Mac OS...

    Koozebane Kermit Arrives: When and Where

    Yes, I've heard that said somewhere here, and my local Target ran out of Koozebane Kermits right away after putting them out (and the rest of the figures disappeared pretty darn quick too), and a couple of weeks later they restocked all the figures including Koozebane Kermit. I don't know if...

    Where are the best places to order Muppets online?

    That can be a problem, but so far EBGames hasn't sent me any with anything other than a very minor paint glitch... maybe I'm lucky or maybe I'm not sufficiently obsessive and picky. :D As Fozzie54 noted, few times I've seen the figures in stores, there have been so few to choose from finding...

    The three Muppet-related newsgroups I know about are: rec.arts.henson+muppets alt.tv.muppets alt.tv.sesame-street rec.arts.henson+muppets is the "replacement" for alt.tv.muppets, although things still get posted to the old group. They don't get much traffic... most of the Muppet news...

    Where are the best places to order Muppets online?

    I've pre-ordered all my Muppet figures from EBGames so far, and there haven't been any problems - I got them all, and all were in good shape, although sometimes they arrive a little after the times they start appearing in stores. I don't know if there's a guarantee, but I haven't ever heard...

    Muppet/Henson DVDs in the US and UK

    A lot of the problems of NTSC - the shifting and bleeding colors, etc. - don't happen when the material is on a DVD (they were mostly transmission problems). So PAL's main advantage on DVD is a higher resolution (more detailed picture). Of course, if the program's source is originally NTSC TV...

    Muppet/Henson DVDs in the US and UK

    Oops, and I left off "A Very Merry Muppet Christmas", coming October 7 in the US, and then "John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together" on November 4 in the US. Probably everyone's aware of these, but I mention them for completeness. :) --Scott McGuire

    New Henson Region 2 DVD's coming this November

    Not necessarily - here in the US we got a pan&scan version of "Muppet Treasure Island" in the US, whereas the UK got an anamorphic widescreen release. The extras on the DVDs were pretty much the same, though. --Scott McGuire

    vBulletin 3.0 Beta: Questions and Answers

    I'm not sure if this is to me or someone else, but my browser are set to use a pretty small text size already, which is why the new forum text size stood out. However, just to be sure, I made my browser text size even smaller (9-point!), and the forum was unaffected by that setting - looks like...

    vBulletin 3.0 Beta: Questions and Answers

    Well, quite a change since the last time I logged into MuppetCentral. Overall it seems to be working pretty well, but I have some feedback and suggestions. (1) Is there a way to have it remember my choice for the "Remember username/password?" setting? :) Or maybe have it default to...

    Warrick - You're right, Caroll Spinney must be psychic. And he's so modest he didn't even mention that. Travis - thanks for the Wisdom of Big Bird. :) Jocelyn - thanks for sharing the writeup and the photos! --Scott McGuire
