Exactly. Silently reading "To arrange for your criminal check to be notarised you need to be able to send.........oh look a Squirrel" "Ah, I've forgotten what I was supposed to be doing"

99% of the avatars are annoying. They have been for years. It is about time the mods did something about it.

I shouldn't have to manually block every annoying or offensive avatar on my browser.

That leaves 1%. Do you happen to remember, over the years, the acceptable, non-annoying avatars? What do you look for in an avatar?

Sad Graphics are half the fun of message boarding.

I have a 10-yo vga monitor still set on 800x600 that cuts off that side of the screen anyhow when I have to scroll Arrow to read the posts. Pain in the patooty, but the old Gateway 2000 is still cruising. Can't stop now.

Besides, my av makes me look 20 years younger. Twisted Evil

Oh yes, a graphical user interface is necessary to electronically express our ideas and interests. I wonder if they can invent software to interpret images for detecting offensive porn and other unwanted material? We're talking advanced A.I.

I just got to show off the catch of the year. It's one lunker of an American catfish . Despite how ugly it is, it was extremely delicious.

Hate to sound like an opera fanboy but opera has this nice little button on the bottom right called fit to view, any pages that you have to scroll across, click the button and then it fits
