    AS beautiful as she is, Projectsome's signature will become very trying if everyone starts doing it! It would be good if that can be blocked....

    You shouldn't have to do anything with a standard screen setup and the most popular browser to make it display halfway correct... I mean, we can zoom in but then you end up with gigantic early learning centre text.

    This. There seems to be adverts too which I'm not keen on.

    Don't like the layout. It's the simple, cheap (free if I'm not mistaken) layout that is all over the web. Seriously, this is a step back in time imho.

    I'll still come here though, mainly because I get bored very easily.

    Also, Northwind I agree about the widescreen. WTF's goin on there?

    My only gripe is the mid thread adverts and the pictures in the signatures!

    Adverts are something I don't want but an ad blocker should sort that out

    I do think that the old forum looked newer if that makes sense

    Do you think I should create a new and improved "Musings" thread?

    I was going to ask about these adds in the middle of the thread but I run A.d.block Plus so they're not there :D

    I edited that because if I mention what program I run it changes my post!

    The pop up blocker on Google Chrome doesn't get rid of them :(

    Pop up (Adblocker) on Firefox works. And there's a quick reply box - right underneath your post - just used it.

    Especially with pictures in signatures.

    Hot those babes may be, it makes me feel like I should be writing in text speak, and besides STW will be sending the sexism police.

    Formatting is screwed for me. I have a huge blue rectangle across the entire
    forum which removes the right hand side of all the posts. This is why I'm
    putting carriage returns into this post. I have tried clearing all cookies and
    temp files etc to no avail. IE8.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    mate, next to the address bar there is there are three icons before the serch box;
    the one on the left (closest to the address bar), clicky click and all should be well,
    if not go to
    Tools > Compatibility View
    click this, it should do the same job as the icon!!

    hope that helps!

    I may be wrong, but I think they are people who have found the link through google, so not members of the forum looking at what we're saying.

    How do I view recent posts in the MTB forum only?

    You can do it from the main forum screen but that includes all the roadie/commuter shite!

    I'm sure it'll just be like all other changes, give it a week and it'll all be fine... but how do we view new posts without getting all the gay lycra clad nonsense?
