I may be the only one who feels this way, but I don't like the "L" at the top of the WP page. What is the point of putting such a dumb symbol up there. :( :roll: :?

Not seen it. I told Firefox not to load anything at the top of the page. There used to be all manner of distractions there such as dropdowns for various things, a green alien and something else that I've forgotten.

Eh, I find it amusing. Could be worse, it could be a picture of a fat pizza faced basement dweller sitting by his computer. :P

I think the worst part is that the picture and teaser paragraph didn't tempt me to want to read the article, and really don't (now that I read it anyway) represent the content of the article. Poor choice by the author for an otherwise solid piece.

I thought it was a clip from an Adam Sandler movie. I was wondering if it was suggesting that he might have played an individual with Aspergers or something like that in one of his comedies.

She did a pretty good job of capturing the audience's attention. I think it was meant as a light hearted comment, and don't think she ever really considered herself a loser from the way she described her school life.

I don't see that sort of junk. My local css (in the mozilla vein) reads like:
Code:
@-moz-document domain(wrongplanet.net) {

/* was the blueish (approx #BDE) stuff */
body {
   scrollbar-3dlight-color:#EDB!important;
   scrollbar-track-color:#EDB!important;
}
hr,.code,.quote {
   border-color:#EDB!important;
}
td.row1,td.row3,
td.cat,td.catHead,td.catSides,td.catLeft,td.catRight,td.catBottom,
td.row3Right,td.spaceRow,input.button {
   background-color:#EDB!important;
}
th {
/*   color:#EDB!important; */
   color:yellow!important;
}

/* was the greenish (approx #BDA) stuff */
body {
   scrollbar-face-color:#DCF!important;
   scrollbar-shadow-color:#DCF!important;
}
td.row2,.helpline {
   background-color:#DCF!important;
}

/* font families */
table * {
   font-family:verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif!important;
}

/* small sizes */
.boxcontent,.boxtitle,.cattitle,.code,.content,.ddm1,
.genmed,.mainmenu,.name,.nav,.quote,select,
.storycat,.storytitle,.topictitle,
h1,h2,input,input.button,textarea,th,
A:active,A:hover,A:link,A:visited,
BODY,DIV,FONT,FORM,P,SELECT,TD,TEXTAREA {
   font-size:11px!important;
}

/* post body size */
.postbody {
   font-size:12px!important;

}

/* test top navigate stuff */
/*
A.topnav:active { color:#9F9!important; }
A.topnav:hover { color:#EFE!important; }
A.topnav:link { color:#AFA!important; }
A.topnav:visited { color:#CFC!important; }
*/
A.topnav > U > FONT { color:#CCC!important; }

/* Colour in post links */
.postlink {
   /* color:#F00!important; */
   font-weight:bolder!important;
}

/* Zap rubbish at top of pages */
/*
.demo {
   visibility:collapse!important;
   display:inline!important;
   width:1px!important;
   height:1px!important;
}
*/
.demo {
        display:none!important;
}

}

Leave off the first and last lines, if you are using a less capable browser.

I also leave WP blocked for JavaScript - no great loss.

Amazingly enough, when you drag up threads over a month old, circumstances change!
