Preemptive strike

I hate the new format. Get rid of avatars, fix search, and return to something approaching a sensible text width. The new format sucks.

Search is being improved

it's one of their highest-priority tasks.

And I notice that you've avoided

Talking about the other two. Which probably aren't priorities of theirs.

I think you need to back up.

You might be too close to the screen, or on the wrong site.

Is it wrong...

...to bust a freakin' gut at Graham's perpetual sadism?

Stop making me laugh at this stuff. Just. Stop.

It's "preemptive"

but I agree. Also, can you make the current comment more easily discernible when "c"-ing through, please?

Please, for the love of all that is holy, get rid of avatars.

The reason I hate the new format

is that it looks like it was designed for ten year olds

it looks like they are catering to the LCD for whatever reason

Oh well, here's to entertaining that ADD child in all of us.

The reason I hate the new format

is that half the fucking space on the screen is unusable.

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT.

by Graham MacAree on Mar 24, 2008 5:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Fuck me and my stupid fucking wide screen monitor. I should go back to my parents house and find my old box shaped one in the basement. Why you would designed a format made for monitor that are at least five years old is beyond me. It would make as much sense for the tv people to film their shows exclusively in 4:3, when they switch over to digital format.
