Attn. Mods. Complaint Thread.

[ Edited ]

Let's put our complaints here and maybe someone who can do something about them will. Just for kicks, I'll start the ball rolling.

1 - I've read several posts from long-time users whose old user names are no longer available. DeepEnd and Knockwood are two user names that spring to mind.

2 - The FAQ section makes reference to a "From You Tube" button. Can't find it. Where is it?

3 - The thread "hover" feature is gone.

4 - It would be nice if we knew who was on line. Nothing at the bottom of the page anymore.

I'm sure some others can add to this list.

From what I gather they're working on things...the youtube link is already back like it used to be...I'm sure they'll be other improvements in the coming weeks.

I'd totally do the one in the middle, Is she legal?



Kind'a old. But if you're passing through New York give me a call



Oh, sorry. I assumed she was stupid for being your wife




Right now you sound like a whiny bitch. So you're probably Hoddy's wife.




It really does look like it's Hoddy's stupid wife

Re: Attn. Mods. Complaint Thread.

I can probably get used to all the quite-unwelcome changes (as well as the single welcome one: pages open faster and more reliably) except the micro-avatars. Not only am I very visually-oriented (I love words but I desperately need pictures for my brain to connect with things); also my eyes aren't so good anymore. 

They're so small that in some cases I can't even tell what they are. Pretty much useless. 

She's the lady of the light
Yellow incandescent night
Tiger eyes burning bright
In the understory
I can't see the forest
For the branches and the leaves
But I believe
I do believe

From "Tiger Eyes", by me:

Bunnies? Bunnies?? We don't need no "steenking" bunnies!!

I wish HC would quit forgetting who I am. I've had to reenter my user name and password a few times, even though I've clicked the box that's supposed to "remember me". Doesn't happen every time I come here. Just a random thing it does when it feels like it.

My main gripe is the tiny text size and the God awful background color. Can't we please have something besides this stark white and tiny text??

These were all complaints last time, go figure. Why not use the whole page also we can do without the borders.

The bunnies make me think MF is looking to get a younger crowd in here but I doubt they'll like them either.

It is faster though .... thumbs up

Get rid of the borders, use the whole page, make the black logo thing at the top one third the size it is, and put the announcements in a sticky....please...
