ya know what would be cool?

since threads drift so often.....

some way of knowing what was actually being discussed in a thread.

maybe a mouse over popup thinger that says:

thread has drifted to bashing the new guy

or

thread has drifted to a ridiculous argument about the accuracy of polls

or

thread was mistitled to begin with and is actually about anal sex

or

don't bother opening this one, it's just aliantha and somebody chatting inanely about the weather or some shit


i know, it's not one of the available settings, and then there would be the whole....who gets to write the commentary debate....

but it WOULD be pretty cool.

:beer: :fumette:

I don't know what to say. some funny shit here.
Also Cooliris rocks.

There is a pop-up that shows the first few lines, or is that just in my head?

yeah but thats of the initial post, isnt it? anyway.....beestie's link is the answer i needed. i cant believe i never saw that before....it works slicker than owl shit.

Firefox only. Why not use firefox at work unless your work is like my work where firefox is not allowed.

Which leads me to this.

cooliris is coooool

why is firefox not allowed at your work?

firefox is allowed, but dealer track only uses ie. thats where i spen lots of my time doing deals and getting things approved and such. also, cooliris does work with ie 6 and below. it's not as smooth(the main window jumps around causing it to lose the popup...?), but its there after you hit download, you can pick other browsers.

the thing is, that it will not work with https siteds, and dealertrack is one of those.

Works for me with IE 6

Thread has drifted (again) to Firefox vs IE at work and home.

I believe the euphemism is "slicker than greased owl shit", something my father said rather frequently. :D

I bow to the professional thread drifter. :insert bowing smilie here:

I took it off about 2 weeks after I installed it.

Popping up every friggin where.

I am glad you posted a follow-up. I found it the other day and was going to load it.

Yea, it got bothersome in short order.
