crustythor · September 2005

are they only so big on my computer 'cause i'm using a mac? they're HUGE!

i also object to the contraction "blogad."

sorry i didn't post this in the other ad thread, i was too blinded by the ads to see it.

That's very "punk" of you to be against big ads.

How are you going to see this one, then? Why bother?

By the way, 9" monitors are SO 1992.

I actually agree that the font is ridiculously huge. I tried adding FONT tags to the table but it didn't seem to help. This probably has something to do with CSS.

On the other hand, I think the board itself looks much better. I hated that sprawly text all over the screen. Having the big ugly blogad there actually makes your thoughtful prose more readable, making you look even more brilliant than before.

I think there's an old video game programers' saying:

"If you can't get rid of a bug, call it a feature."

i agree.

now we have two ares of ads on every page :roll:

there is an art to doing ads in such a way that they minimally interfere with your userbase whilst still bringing in suitable revenues, you know :P

If you're using Mac Firefox, go to Preferences (under the Firefox pulldown menu), click "Fonts & Colors". There you can pick the font and size. Then click the box that says "always use my fonts". That should at least fix the size problem. Personally, I only like to look at Futura.

wow, thanks for the FF tip. i wonder if i can only use distrissed, crusty fonts from now on - punkest board ever!

i hate the blog ads.
