The featured poster is worse than the ads

[Deleted]

It fills my whole screen people!!! Virgil, move away from the toys!

[The J]

I do agree that it's a little too big. It takes up half my laptop screen.

[steff]

but at least it doesn't start playing bad rock music that makes us jump out of our skin and cling to the ceiling like Sylvester the cat.

[Apple]

Lol, at least it's not "paned" so that it will scroll out of the way.
I agree with the choice though, apple Ken

[Opti]

So its Virgil who's responsible for me not seeing any threads without
scrolling down?!

[Virgil Showlion]

Hm. Looks like you guys have display-impaired laptops.

It's gone for now, but seriously: get new laptops. A minimum resolution of 1280x1024 is not just a recommendation.

Now... let's see...

[Apple]

Lol, at least I was able to grab Ken before he went to bed so he could see it...

[rick]

LOL you guys are whining like PMers

[The J]

On behalf of those of us with new widescreen laptops, you can bite me Virgil

[Deleted]

I don't see it... my laptop must be better than your laptop

Umm, how?

[jan]

And, I missed...again.

[verrip1]

Which featured poster? Are we going to have people here whoring for attention yet again?

[Empire the P.A.]

I missed it too Jan. Always late to the party.

[Opti]

FYI, You can now Click to see the featured EE poster.

Its centered underneath the Ad and above the thread.

[Virgil Showlion]

There. You puny-screened Ken-haters satisfied now?

I suspect you're just jealous of Ken and his ridiculously huge screen.

I like Ken. So I can expect the laptop when?

[The J]

You also need to add a "hide the featured poster" link, so I can open it and then close it without having to refresh my screen.

Geez....do I have to point out everything to you??

I sent him a bat signal



Ok, it was FB, but bat signal sounds cooler

[ken a.k.a OMK]

Thanks guys. That was very unexpected and appreciated.

[Deleted]

Ken, are you datable? You sound simply dreamy.

[Virgil Showlion]

The laptop is 100,000 karma.

Your current 10 karma gets you a mustache comb.

You also need to add a "hide the featured poster" link, so I can open it and then close it meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow....

Archie I am a guy and married for 40 years (to a woman....LOL). But thanks for the offer. LOL

I'm the 'idea' mod. It's my job to provide perspective and look at the big picture. It's your job to implement my visions.

Duh.

Too bad.. you still sound dreamy.

Virgil thanks. We should share code sometime. My HTML is rusty. LOL

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

I'm with J on this one .... We now click on "Featured Poster" to read it, so it would be nice if we could also click on the message once we've read it so it "goes back into the box" without having to exit out of the page and come back in.
