Riddle

"I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball."

The answer is hidden in the post below. Don't look until you have made your guess!

1. I correctly guessed the answer to the riddle.

2. That new feature is WAY COOL!

As a programmer myself, I know that what typically happens when I introduce a new WAY COOL feature is that people are very appreciative for about 2 seconds, after which they launch into a long and sometimes annoying litany of things that could be made better about it.

So would it be possible (oh, how I dread hearing that intro! ) to allow for a brief unhidden caption in a hidden post, so that you wouldn't have to make two separate posts?

At this point, unfortunately no. However maybe in the future. I didn't code this one. I requested it and a nice guy coded it for me. Gotta love teamwork

Ted got it without effort. I am going to try it on my 7th grade. It will drive them nuts hopefully.

Hey Amy, there's a slight bug with this way-cool feature. When you hit "Reply", all the posts are below in all their un-hidden glory!

I'm so excited. I'm still a newbie around here and I'm hopin' I get this right.

Is the answer "Tomorrow?"

Now let's see if I do this right so my answer is hidden. Wish me luck.

I'm still trying to figure out how all you advanced EA's get all the neat stuff in the left column. Color me stupid.

You got it nobody_knows

The stuff in the left column is set up in your user profile, on the options page.

There, you can set a custom title and select an avatar.
