I was very excited (I know, I need to get a life) about finally stepping out of the BRONZE category, and moving into the Silver spread - when I notice that my points have stopped accruing... what is up with that??? Does anyone else have this same problem? Is there a solution to it? I know, it doesn't matter, but secretly I wonder if I will get my points for creating this blog? D~

Hello LA Iconers! So many of us have had to change our 'display names' with the site switch, and I don't know who any of you are anymore! Let's get this group back together, and have the fun that we had on the old boards! If you were a part of the LA thread on the old boards, and you had to change your display name, respond here, and post your old and new display names so that we can get back together! I miss our chats. The5sherns is now known as d_is_the5sherns D~

Hi all - instead of posting this in the forum, I thought I would put it in a blog, and see what happens... After a weeks worth of issues trying to get access to the new website, now that I am in - I am not really sure I like the new website. First of all, I am old, and the text is too small. I can change it on my computer, but what a drag. Second, who's idea is it to use white text on a black background? Doesn't this bother your eyes? Maybe it is my fault for doing most of my website visits in the middle of the night - but my eyes are bugged by the color scheme. I usually highlight the text so that I can read it. Third - what is the story with the points? And why do I not have my Platnium status? Will this Platnium status help me in the future, or is it really a moot point? And finally - I have received 5 Digital Magazines... 47 - May 07 (H&M Cover), 48 - Dec 07 (Aritake Cover), 49 - Aug 08 (Hard Candy Cover), 50 - Mar 09 (Give It To Me Cover), 51 - May 09 (W Mag Cover). From my calculations - I believe I am still owed 3 since the 07 change to 4 digital per year. Is this correct? Am I missing any others? My account ends on August 10th - if I choose not to renew, how do I get the access to those additionaly 3 magazines? I get the feeling Icon will ALWAYS owe us magazines... They should just send us all a T-Shirt, and cut their losses. Oh wait, they did that - and forgot the period. LOL Thanks for reading. Have a great night! D~
