So ya havent posted or read anything on ATOT in a while, due to the fact that the forum is completely whack on the computers at work due to their fixed resolution. Also, how am I supposed to be entertained and look at all the latest hot topics section? Only 1 shows there, where can I see the whole big list. Im missing so much news and forum drama. I think the old forum was ftw.

Wrong forum

It's like a bad haircut - after a few days, it doesn't matter.

While that is true that we complain, it doesn't mean our complaints are unfounded.

I don't like the forum split, but I'll someday get used to it. I didn't like the new look, but I'm already used to it. But, I can't stand the fact that when you are using the keyboard, the page up/page down buttons don't function (unless you manually move your hands and click the vertical scroll bar with the mouse). I'll never get used to that change for the worse. When I'm typing, I don't want to have to click on the window and then the scroll bar just to move around with the keyboard.

If the "more people will join" thing pans out it might end up being ok, but I've already noticed a major dropoff in OT participation. IMO splitting everyone up like this is a bad idea.

your resolution has nothing to do with the truncation. even on 1680x1050 it is truncated.

BAN! ;)

Just be thankful there's finally a programming forum. It'll eventually get sorted out.

I disagree... Circle gets the square.

Well, it no longer works for me (IE 7.0). Just click anywhere on my post, then hit the page up/page down buttons or even the arrow buttons. No more scroll for me unless I first hit the scroll bar with the mouse.

Holy crap you're right. I just never noticed it myself cause it doesn't do that in FireFox.
That would get annoying real fast

I like to use FireFox for this site so I can remove all the flash ad crap.
