"GENERIC"

[Michael Morris]

Actually, they pretty strongly furthers the argument that they are not needed. We've done quite nicely for four years now.

And, as I said in my first post, I don't care a lick about change. But I am annoyed by pointless damage to a perfectly functional system.

Heck, "stealth" mode is a pretty heavy change. And honestly, it is ugly. But I don't really care.
I got my functionality back.

Stealth = Change = no big
GENERIC = eye pain and hard to read thread titles = Bad

Thanks for the answer Michael

Don't thank me - Josh Dyal was the one who noted that part of the theme. Stealth ships the way it is, I've not modified it (much)

you can instantly gloss over the entire page and see what does not interest you.

This also does not work for me. There are topics within each TAG that interest me and topics that do not.

I am suprised to hear that some people's interests break out so distinctly, if they in fact do....

Actually, I was just thanking you for answering my question about the name.

So thanks to Michael for an answer and thanks to Joshua for a solution.

I've read the arguments - I'm still against the Generic tag.

Yes, the tags are still useless, because I like some topics in most categories, so I *still* have to read the thread subject. What exact benefit have I been given?

Oh, and Stealth mode SUCKS ROCKS.

Huh huh.. Calm down Beavis...

Seriously, Stealth & VBulletin are the two styles I didn't do other than to change their headings to match the rest of the site. So don't yell at me over them.

Not to yell at anyone, but to add my voice -- I'm not crazy about the "mandatory" tags, either. It's nice to give people the option to mark their messages, but I don't see any advantage in requiring such a mark for every thread.

There aren't enough threads on a given page to require anything more than scanning the thread titles -- and I'm interested in everything, so divvying stuff up by topic does me very little good.

I don't much care one way or the other, but it's a small increase in annoyance for zero increase in value.

Not to yell at anyone...

Of course, as it stands right now, your message reads "GENERIC! Not to yell at anyone..."

If there is a vore, consider my vote cast for the removal of tags all together, completely. I havn't liked them since day one, but the old ones were, while sometimes a bit garish, at least much smaller and easier to read if you wanted to use them.

Baring that, make a version that is selectable that shows no tags, but otherwise looks like normal.

I'm running in stealth mode just to get rid of the tags now. I don't like the look, but it's better than regular w/ tags.

And I'll echo someone elses statement... you will get people to stop using the default tag when pigs fly and satan invests in thermal underwear.

I must add my vote for the removal of, at the very least, the "generic" tag.

Especially in the IC forums, this tag is *very* annoying already. I dislike having all the posts in a game having a big "GENERIC" on them.
