Horrible. Waaaaaay too pushy. How about something small and unobtrusive in a tasteful font?

Less than 5 hours. Probably as little as one or two judging from the usual speed at which people will start Apolyton/Community threads in which they can spam under the pretence of commenting on a new feature.

I'm surprised there isn't a thread about the quick search boxes at the top of each thread.

Hadn't noticed the search boxes either.

And anyway - TCoCB are now my main source of postcount, and entirely legitmately at that.

Mark - Better new that they're not bold, but to be honest, I didn't really see anything wrong with them in the first place.

No problem with them here. Besides, if the thread gets lots of posts, you're not going to spend a lot of time near the top of the page, and if it dosen't get lots of posts...you probably still won't spend a lot of time near the top of the page.

I also dislike the SHOUTY forum titles, they are much too large. And coupled with the strange looking search boxes, they should be decreased quickly por favor.

Why do you still have a problem with me?
Why?
I corrected the troublesome spots?
I told you WHY your part of the Apolyton 100 was messed up.
I agreed to fix it.
You were nice about it.
and suddenly you are insulting me in EVERY thread I go in.

I am beginning to get quite annoyed.

Why?

Is it merely because of 1.) a lack of information on your entry
and 2.) the fact that I said you spammed in your entry; and yet, your revised entry (which you submitted) also said that you spammed.

It's not MY fault if I don't know EVERYTHING you do on the forums.

Please, what is your problem?
Perhaps we could find a solution.
Thank you

A suggestion for the forum titles: Why not move the actual thread title to beneath the rest of the location, so rather than having
quote:
Apolyton CS Forums > Miscellaneous > Apolyton/Community > Big Shouty Thread/forum Titles!!!

where it usually cuts the thread name in half, it would be like
quote:
Apolyton CS Forums > Miscellaneous > Apolyton/Community >
Big Shouty Thread/forum Titles!!!

and would be much neater, clearer, and aesthetically pleasing.
