WHAT ARE THOSE BLUE SQUIGGLES NEXT TO MY USERNAME?
Q: Exactly what are those little blue squiggles that appear over most people usernames?
A: They are star signs. When you hover the mouse of them, it will display a box which will tell you your star sign.
Q: Can I get rid of it?
A: Of course you can. Click on 'My Profile' at the top of this page, or click this link : http://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/profile. ... ditprofile
Now, go down to your birthdate, and make it display nothing (ie. a minus ('-') sign).
