You forgot UT. You must now be banned for your negligence!

Just Kidding!

I'm having a hankering for waffle. (Ye Olde Cellare used to run on this.) I wonder if anybody's written a waffle <-> vBulletin gateway?

You watched the entire Christmas Story Marathon this year, didn't you? All 24 hours.

wouldn't IotD lose a little something in text only?

wolf · 01-04-2007, 01:23 PM

There are some really amazing ASCII IOTDs out there, I'm sure.

When I was a child there was a beloved printout on greenbar in my house, so beloved it was framed and hung in the living room (in 1968 you could do stuff like that because it was such an ususual thing). The image was JFK. You can't do much better than that in an Irish Catholic household. Well, okay, you can, but we didn't have any framed pictures of the Pope.

The only thing I need for Christmas this year is to accept you into my heart as my personal Lord and Moderator.

And the aforementioned thing about LabRat's bicycle seat... But only if you give me your blessing on that.

Certainly. However what I'm keen to lose is the distinctive bottle, not the wine.

Images are ok, but the banner at the top with the big name at the top and the bright and shiny circles on the right are uncomfortably conspicuous.

How come yours has the weather forecast at the bottom - thats cool!! Now I want it.

BigV · 01-04-2007, 06:49 PM

Your wish is my command.

I'll even throw in our weather... :rain: :rain: :rain: :repeat:

Clodfobble · 01-04-2007, 10:24 PM

I have an additional opinion on the color scheme to throw out there... feel free to ignore it; it's certainly been said before that I'm not a visual person. There is less contrast now between the text of a post and the background color, and I find myself straining a little bit to see it. Quoted text is still showing up in black, which is easier to see. It probably doesn't have to go all the way to black to be easier to see though, maybe just a darker shade of whatever olive color it is.
