OK. It actually took a while to notice the text there. Now that I know it's there I can read it. Hmm, magnifying the screen to 125% makes a big difference. A font size change might just do the trick, too bad it's not an option. there's text there? is it any different from the navigation bar? ;D

I think it would actually look good if the background image were washed out just a bit - like this: www.dropbox.com/s/p62ekiq0179g7ec/mythbusters.jpgAnd I'm guessing the text would be easier to read on that background. edited to make link clickable

I'm running ABP too. I added a filter for "i7.photobucket.com/albums/y275/Mortis_strike/mythbusters.jpg" and it removed the tiled background image from the entire page. That is worth an "Exalt", many thanks, I didnt think of that one.....

Just a thought, might it be a good idea to combine some of the 'announcement' threads so that they don't take up quite so much screen space? It would seem that "Banned topics" could be included in the "Rules" and the "Disclaimer" could be included in the "Guide for posting...". You might even be able to combine all four.

When I get the time I'll have a look over the announcements and see which ones might be merged together.
*Edit*
I've left the banned topics and disclaimers as individual threads, and merged most of the rest into 'Rules and Guidelines'.
I want the banned list to be separate so no one can try and claim they had no idea there was a banned list. Similar reasoning for the disclaimer.

I just had ads show up between the header and the post area - is this something unique to my account, or is this the price we are paying for board space?
or in other words, do I do something to make it go away, or do we accept it as a form of paying rent?

Unfortunately it seems to be the price we have to pay, certainly it is nothing I've done to the board.

ah, well. at least I haven't seen signs the ads are trying to take over the board the way they did at the old place.

I've got a new space between the header and and the post area but there's no ad'.
Instead there's a list of the six most recent topics I have posted in.
If it's not your doing, Cyber' then it must be a new feature on the boards that has just been activated.

It's actually quite handy as Cyber's post above brought up a "New" tag next to this topic, allowing me direct access to the thread without going through the menu.

Yes, of course. I find no disadvantages to it as it performs perfectly with my Comodo Dragon browser.

it is somewhat convenient having the recent activity displayed. just be aware, it won't show up NEW threads.

Is it a coincidence that it showed up 2 weeks to the day after Cyber set this up? I wonder if that's a "feature" of freeforums: you get 2 weeks ad-free, then that pops up.
I can't be the only one who saw the "Click here to make this board ad-free" link at the bottom, and wondered "what ads?" (And I see there's another ad space just below that).
In any event, it's not a big deal.

I would presume that the process of making the board ad free involves the dispensation of money.
the ads are not that annoying
