So on the desktop I can't tell when people use smaller fonts in posts etc, only on the phone/tablet. Main reason is at 1440, tiny or hard to read fonts drive me batty with my now both near and far sighted eyeballs and this way I don't have to ctrl+ magnify the whole page too much.

Gfted1 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Heres what happened: 1) Tep started a new NFL thread and it just grabs the last poster and makes them the originator of the new thread. 2) This gave @Bartimaeus the power to get cute with the title. 3) The first revision had the thread title center justified instead of left justified. I foolishly thought it was an honest mistake so I fixed it. 4) Now we have this clownery.

Bartimaeus Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Just to be clear, the "mods" in the title of the NFL thread is specifying modifications and not moderators. I think that's very important information to discern, because...well, if you read it the other way, that would mean I was calling the moderators [corrupted text], and boy, I tell you, that is not at all what I meant, and I'd be real broken up about it if anybody interpreted it that way. Gee, I might even have to apologize. But the key thing is, I really don't think I should be left with the critical responsibility of deciding the NFL thread's title, that's...that's just too much for me, I crack under pressure and make terrible decisions! So I'd strongly recommend...oh, I don't know, Donald Trump? I think he'd be a good fit for the position, certainly much better than me.

I had to go find an invisible character that could be combined with space to do that, you know. I won't let my creative work be infringed upon so lightly! O.K., real explanation time: I almost always avoid posting in the 20th or greater page of a thread specifically to avoid being the thread creator, but in incidents where it takes an unusually long amount of time for the new thread to be created, I have been known to make a rare exception. With how sporadically the NFL thread moves, that is what happened here, and I unfortunately lost my little game of avoiding being the new thread creator, and now I am throwing the appropriate temper-tantrum. Except it's not really a temper-tantrum because I'm not actually upset about it, but I am going to make it look like one until my demands are met...so you better watch out, pal. What are my demands? Supreme executive control over the thread title...or you could just shift someone else into being the thread creator. Either way is fine with me, . 4 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Bartimaeus Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I've never understood the neurotic need for huge amounts of dead space in newly designed UIs. Instead of almost all of the space of my 1440p monitor being using, now maybe about half of my screen is used. If you use the "full screen mode" button (bottom right corner), I would argue it actually makes better use of space than the old version by having the navigational links occupy that little empty left-hand side that used to exist, but I'm not clicking that button on every page I visit - tie it to a setting cookie, and probably everything is fine. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.
