Oh, the big side thing
Ok, I see what is going on now. The VBWire list is a plac holder so that we don't get pissed that the giant adds take up too much space. Good idea:confused:

blahahahahahafookingbullsheit dot ha.
cmon man, tell that BS story to the tourists. So the HTML fairy came along during the file transfer and chewed up your W3C standard HTML, Right? :rolleyes: I hear McDonalds is hiring grease vat scrubbers.
Looks like the yellow layout is gone for good
VBForums appearently is following VBWorld's lead.
Soon we might be in Developer.com Forums (now incorporating VBForums).
It still looks like pure ****. At least center the table when it's supposed to "take up the whole space." Because it doesn't take up the whole space.
And the ad on the side looks like pure ass.
I said it before: 8 year olds. Is that harsh, Brad? Deal with it. Reality sucks sometimes.
I just checked my User CP and there's only one VB World Dark Blue template there.Quote:

As stated before, I am not aware of that table of articles being planned for this site. The VBWire list of articles make sense because it is VB related. The internet.com article list doesn't make sense at this point. Placing it on the left side makes even less sense.
Previously there used to be two templates :rolleyes:

They eliminated the gold page layout because the creators were not being given credit and didn't want to see a commercialized piece of **** using their layout. Simple really.
About the VB Wire News. Why not make that table two columns, and then put the links in both columns that way it takes up less space on the page. And may be make it the width of the browser or get rid of it all together. Also, remove the extra lines above and below it so there is minimal white space, and shrink the font to about 3px so that it's not as visible. No one's gonna click it anyway.
Note: I will never click an ad on this site, no matter if it interests me or not. I don't want to make you guys think you are getting something out of them. :rolleyes:
Everyone. I found a way to block the stupid vbwire stuff.
add this line to your hosts file:
For Windows 95/98 users:Code:127.0.0.1 vbwire.com
search for a hosts file. It should be hosts.sam unless you have edited it previously. Save it without an extension using notepad. Or download the attached HOSTS.ZIP and extract it.
Windows NT/2000/XP users
add the line to C:\Winnt\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS
or download the zip file attached and extract it.
The attached zip file blocks a whole lot of different ad servers so it works well while surfing and speeds it up on occasions too. :)
Or how about just adding
To your HOSTS file.
Can't get it working. I have 2 host files already (98) :confused:
Well it's a good thing i'm not on my laptop now else it would look liek this.
Mr Jones,
You say your the point man in charge of all\some of the fourms Jupiter Media own and run. But when an employee or someone with the responsibility to change something on the site does so you say you no nothing about it? And blame someone else?
We dont care about who did it or why they did it we just know that it degrades the quality of the site, looks awful and looks disorganised. And we know that your the point man so you have to fix it.
And i might add until you added that bright green CPU PLanet add it was looking good but once again you and your staffs overwhelming graphical design talent comes to the fore.
Just so you know we arent objecting to the adds just the shocking layout.
Also as others have mentioned it is totally unproffesional to test something on a live site! Test it on your own pc first perhaps??
As for style sets same goes if you dont want people to use them then dont make them available to be used.
Just out of interest when is Jupiter Media going to cut the shady crap??
Remember it isnt the owners that make this website it's the members!
Regards
