I'm sorry it's not working well for you. Heck, I just recently moved up from 1024 x 768 (which I had been using for years) because many of the web sites I visit have stopped looking good on anything less than 1280 dpi.RE: The boxed news items. I don't know if it's open for debate, but actually, I'd have to say it's easier to get a glace at all the newest news items as far as I can see, and it's reminiscent of the blurbs that newspapers put up to get readers to check out sections OTHER than the "A" section. Sites like Yahoo, Google News, CNN, etc. also use a similar scheme to get people to read on, as opposed to having all items in one monolithic block of text as we had been using.You're free to offer as much constructive criticism as you'd like -- but constructive does not mean "insulting," as your "YOU HAD 2 YEARS OF CHANGES FOR THIS?!?!" tone came across as. If you'd said, perhaps, "Morrus, thanks for putting so much into the site. However, I'm having problems with these two issues (issue A and issue B). Is there anything at all that can be done with those issues? THanks for listening."Instead your post contains two indirect insults (what the heck? THIS is your result?) and a threat that if you don't see results, you're going elsewhere.Any clearer now why Russ can get kinda testy over "constructive criticism"?</blockquote>
