Heh, I didn't even notice until I'd done it and I certainly wasn't trying to, but it seems I just added three $5 bills which took us over the $200,000 mark. Woo hoo! Congrats to everyone! Actually, I was kinda worried that there would be a mad rush by people to get the bill that took us to that milestone… but all is good. Next milestone, $500K… :)

500k?

One step at a time there!

Either 20k bills, or $300k comes first.

Long range is to catch up to that OTHER site. Maybe we should email everyone over there to come on over to a CANADIAN based site, like SARGE said.

Heh, we could but I don't think that will be necessary. In the long run, I think they will come over here as this site is consistantly improving and has zero advertising (which I promise will always be the case).-dr

…that has slow updates

Not to mention a terrible name (don't get me started on how many ways that "Willy" is wrong) and it's not nearly as clean a site as this… but I'm biased, of course. :)

Yeah I would have a hard time stamping Where's Willy on a bill. I also doubt people would be as likely to visit that site's URL if they saw it on a bill, than with this site's URL.

I have been checking up on 'them' from time to time. In the past week they gained on us by about 1,600 bills and $23,600. Most of their users seem to be in the maritimes and Quebec. Come 'on folks…let's get the word out!

dr

I've never even seen one of "their" bills, though my roommates mention that they got one as change from something the other day… anyone else seen any of the bills?

No.. I have never seen one of "their" bills, I used to write their site on my bills when I used to go to that site to track my money, Until I discovered this site which is 100% better in many ways.

dr

That's pretty cool that you're a former WW user and you got converted. Thanks for the compliment; I'm pretty pleased with the way this site has turned out. I don't like to brag, but I do think this site is better, both in terms of the "look" and in terms of how it is consistantly improving. Of course, I am a little biased… :)

A small gap between the dates but a big jump in total. Thanks Idjit and Hoggs. Did you ever think we'd get here so quick?

Gee pooga you gotta stop doing this or Dr shouls have a BOLD or something that says what number of Board the message is on.

Gee pooga you gotta stop doing this

Either that, or it's time to archive a whack of messages!

Who are you kidding? The way we ramble a current topic can be on the third or fourth page. If I haven't found all the messages by the second page, I just hit date and they pop right up. Doesn't matter if its on the fifth page or the last page. We're just too smart for you guys =)

cheezie

Well now. Don't I feel like a total dumb-nut. blush

Here I was hitting next… next… next… obsessed with reading all the new messages… now matter how far into the cobwebbed recesses they were hiding… there I sat… staring blankly at the computer screen… valiantly hitting the "next" link until I found what I sought.

Will somebody please say I wasn't the only one? I like being unique, but really now…

Pooga

We mentioned it before, and CJ alluded to it.

On the message list, click on the column heading 'Date'. The messages will be in chronological order. Click 'date' again and it will reverse the order. Same trick works on the other column titles as well. And remember, when you are viewing a list of bills, it works there too.

And the sad part is, I knew all that. I mean, even email programs let you arrange things like that, and who knows how many other things we see on the web. Cripes.

Must have had a brain fart.

CalamityJanet

brain fart

Where is that from?

I have used, but also heard it from no less than 3 different people this week alone.

ps. was it loud or a silent killer?

cheezie

ps. was it loud or a silent killer?

Silent. Always silent. At least, judging from the glazed expression in my eyes while I have brain farts, I would presume they're without noise.

Maybe "brain fart" is a Saskatchewan thing… like bunny hug… or gitch…

I was clicking Next Next Next until i said the hell with it and started typing in URLs for the board #.. I never noticed the date link.
