Also, the comment threads are hard to read because the completely even spacing between text blocks (be it a paragraph or the commenter info) makes it hard to distinguish one person's comment from another's.
I'd suggest a few subtle changes (once kirk returns) that will make a world of difference:
1. Don't do any horizontal rules or zebra stripes to separate comments
2. Increase leading between comment blocks from different individuals. Make sure individual paragraphs inside a comment block are closer together than the leading between comment blocks.
3. Fun idea: Put a number next to each individual comment block. This will make it easier to keep your place as you read long threads.
COMMENT NUMBER TWO I like your third idea so much I can't wait for Kirk to return.
Personally I am a fan of the alternating colors of comment boxes.
i am mostly just flagging all of your comments as funny AND offensive.
i too like the alternating colours for comments.
i also like beer and chocolate chunk brownies.
I would like to see a return of the old feature when you logged in, it told you how many unread comments have been added since your last visit.
Whatever that means technically, I have no idea.
I'm with owlhouse on that "unread comments" feature.
And for you zebra-stripe lovers: Fuck off, you slimy cunts (no, I'm not Joe-kin-near).
Before anyone gets their knickers in a bunch about the last comment, read this. I've loved every moment of it.
Another vote for Zebra kind here.
Also, if the "ads by google" that wedges between the OP and the start of the comments could be moved, that would be super.
Also, why are the ads always about helping me to lose weight? I'm big boned!
Or, if I may paraphrase Bernie Mac (R.I.P.): I'm big-bonered, I'm hung low... when I pull my shit out, the room gets dark!
Also, as Bernie Mac said: I ain't scared a' you, muthafuckas! You don't unnerstand!
I'm with Terrapin, more beer and chocolate chunk brownies, please.
I like the idea of numbering the comments. Doing this, along with restoring the unread comments feature, would greatly improve readability.
I checked out the ad for the "RealAge" test and found out that I was really 3 years old. I didn't believe it, so I had a temper tantrum.
If those are sugar-free chocolate chunk brownies, I'll take a dozen, please.
Also, if the "ads by google" that wedges between the OP and the start of the comments could be moved, that would be super.
The what now?
Can we get dates put back into the time stamps? (we did have dates in the times stamps before, correct? I'm not just imagining this?)
A downfall for Chrome, Mr. Bis?
A downfall for the IE6 I'm forced to use at the office.
If it gets any worse, I might just do some work instead.
I'd hate for you to do that, Mr. Bis. What's this world coming to?
Rcade a friend of mine tried to create an account and was unable to. I assume that is just part of the transition process?
no, the YingYang filter has been activated. Apologize to your friend, but tell him it's not a bug, it's a feature.
You know that Groucho line about not wanting to be a member of any club that would have him? It's like that, but only for you.
Harsh. This is what I get for trying to bring in some more Detroit sports fans.
Thankfully they're aren't any. At least until the NHL & NBA get fully underway.
Yeah that's right, YYM. Put a stamp on that shit and mail it. Yerfatma for the win!
Cough, cough, Go Blues cough, cough.
