I'm a visual person - Miss Kitty is cat w/ beehive, Jdarg is washer w/ stickers, Tootsie is mom/kid art, SWGB is a gay airbrushed hottie.....

Just so you know, that WAS my washer sans stickers.

Tiny blue user names kind of disappear, too.

Maybe a personal preference, but I'm not terribly interested in seeing the photo sampler every time the forum opens, and it slows it down some, too.

B#tch, b%tch, b$tch.

Thanks for the effort, Kurt. I know you can't make everyone happy.

Me too. I'm not liking this view at all. For some reason it doesn't separate posts as well either.

Kurt, can you make the quote box a little darker to more easily differentiate between it and the post? It all kinda blends in. Or maybe make the quote box smaller (yes I know I whined about small print yesterday

).

Yes. I think that is why I was having a hard time separating posts. I also wish pancake bunny could be bigger so you could read the words.

Thanks.

**Gypsea** · 05-10-2008, 02:51 PM

Thanks Kurt for fixing the print. It is easy to read today.

I am with treefrog though on keeping the user info at the left as I do find it easier to scroll.

**Minnie** · 05-10-2008, 03:36 PM

Another vote for User Info, avatar, etc. on the left.

Add my vote to Minnie's.

**scooterbug44** · 05-11-2008, 04:14 PM

Me too! I am MUCH more interested in WHAT people are saying that who is saying it and their stats, avatar, rep, etc.

I have taken a lot of drugs this weekend, but I swear, I just saw GRAY!

**John R** · 05-12-2008, 07:39 AM

**Beach Runner** · 06-01-2008, 10:25 AM

Finally ... a favicon.

The little SoWal icon in the URL (address) bar.

Like, mine is a gator. Surprised?

Sowal logo in your browser address bar.

**Rita** · 06-01-2008, 04:27 PM

I had not even noticed that. Maybe it hasn't been there long. I really am not very observant though....

Not a big deal. Just a very, very tiny version of the sowal logo that appears in the address bar of your browser if it recognizes favicon. You would not even be able to tell what it was if you did not already know. Just take a sowal sticker and place it in the upper left corner of your monitor and you should be covered.

Nope, someone's been tinkering.

**Beach Runner** · 03-05-2009, 10:24 PM

One weird thing that is happening is that when I am typing a post, the window starts jumping around vertically. Really strange.

Miss K.

Also frequently the reply button doesn't render properly. It appears as though the width and height aren't the proper values relative to the actual size of the image. Yet when I go to other threads, the reply button looks fine.
