So happy the weather is starting to cool off. Living in Texas during the summer is no fun at all due to the extreme heat we get.

Yes, we are certainly not Texas heat hot, but we are also enjoying the cooler weather here as well.

We have some last Fall chores to complete. Packing away the hoses, etc. What about you?

How is everyone doing this week?  Any feedback on the recent changes around Uncrowned Addiction?  (If you even noticed them 😅)

Well I must admit, sometimes I have blinders on & go right to the posts to reply to topics lol BUT I have noticed in this Chit Chat Thread, don't know what it's called & don't see it on every thread.

So, this is feature when a topic gets deemed a "Popular Topic".  Basically, it needs to have so many posts in x amount of time.  Once it gets deemed popular, these stats get added to the topic forever as kind of a historical thing. I have noticed some sites seem to have it on all topics, but I actually don't know how they do that or if I'd want to do that since it would be a bare box. The Count Game also has it going, but sadly not many topics have been deemed popular around here.

Thank you for letting me know! Can you set the X amount of posts or is that on Xenforo?

I too have seen it on other forums; just never know what it was called.

Ya, it is fairly customizable.  You can set the post amounts and the tone amount and how many the widget block shows.  I haven't really fine tuned it yet, but hopefully soon we will have a good flow of popular topics.

Hey all, hows it going?

So far so good!  How is your month going?  Getting ready for Halloween?

[ZandraJoi]

Good Morning! I so wish I could just hibernate in the colder months lol Anybody else wish that?

I could handle the cold better if it wasn't so dark & dreary outside.

Enjoy your weekend 🙂

Hi all!  Almost Friday, any plans for the weekend? 🙂

It has been pretty nice here so far.  Mid 50s and 60s, which is moderately warm for us.

Not a whole lot this weekend.  Probably relax most of it.  How about you?

[ZandraJoi]

Good Morning! Another week has gone by. Halloween festivities will be next weekend. Some people will celebrate it then due to Halloween being a weekday.

It will be just another weekend for us. Still have a bit more chores to get done outside but I got most of my whirligigs in for the season. Left out a few that we'll take down tomorrow as today it's raining.

We don't do a whole lot for Halloween.  Probably take the youngest to a few Trunk or Treats and call it a day.

Hey all

Happy Friday 😄 

[ZandraJoi]

Happy Saturday Morning! @Uncrowned Guard Do your kids like doing the Trunk or Treats? Are they far for you to go? I know when I was young, it was at the local Fire Department.

@The Hulk Happy Saturday to you 🙂 What do you like to do for Halloween?

I don't celebrate Halloween in real life due to how I was brought up. But I do celebrate it on forums for a bit of fun 😄

They have really taken over lately around here for how everyone does it.  The kid enjoys them, and they are much more controlled and easier than going house to house, so I feel like they are overall a win.  We have two from our fire departments and one from our police department all within walking distance.

As long as you enjoy it, that's what matters now 🙂

Do they also offer Trunk-or-treat? It's gaining in popularity.

Anybody else heard of it & did it with their kids?

Hey everyone. A little cold here in the Uk, at around 4 degrees Celsius this morning. Didn’t want to get up early with this sort of weather.

[ZandraJoi]

Good Morning! Happy Veteran's Day for those in the USA! Many are taking the time to honor the men & women who fought for us.

Enjoy your weekend 🙂

[Uncrowned Guard]

Happy Veterans Day to any of the veterans that we may have in our communities!

[ZandraJoi]

Good Morning! Wishing everybody a great weekend 🙂
