[bc3879dd649]For newbies, people new to Paypal and anyone else concerned.[/colorc3879dd649][/bc3879dd649]
[bc3879dd649]Every once in a blue moon the Paypal site will go down and you can’t log in.[/colorc3879dd649][/bc3879dd649]
[bc3879dd649]At this point, for most of us, two opposing thoughts arise simultaneously in our minds.
(Which is a pretty cool, 'cause even Zen masters and people with a 999 TR would have trouble doing this.) roll
The first thought starts saying..... “Damn site, just when I needed to get on…..I guess I’ll have to try again later….I wish these people would get their act together…. “
While thought number 2 begins nagging us with..... “ I wonder if I’ve been SCAMMED…...Someone probably broke into my
account and stole all my money…...Dirty sons of %@$#&es…..I hope they get hit by a truck…..I wonder if Al Gore I still up….“[/colorc3879dd649][/bc3879dd649] cry
[bc3879dd649]Well folks, there’s an easy way to find out if Paypal is having a problem or if you’re about to have a nervous breakdown.[/colorc3879dd649][/bc3879dd649]

Testing out the avatar again and building the post count?
While I appreciate the large green font, generally the colors are only used in the trade treads. In the other threads it just makes it hard to read. You'll see very little use of font sizes and colors in the off topic thread or most anywhere else here on this site.
Oh and welcome to the forum.
Thanks though.

I appriciate your suggestion. The fonts are too large. I'll shave them down in the future. Not testing the avatar anymore, I'm satisfied with it and not trying to build anything, I wanted to share the info.

Good info, font is fine, don't see how it makes it hard to read ? This is much better than having 3-4 threads pop up about paypal being down for an hour ) +KMA
