Hey Skinner :Can we get rid of

[Pharaoh]

the advertise liberally strip that cuts the front page in half?

very annoying............:hangover:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. Cuts it in half?

Dude, up your monitor's resolution! It doesn't even take up 1/10th of mine.

[dysfunctional press]

2. i think you misunderstanded...

he didn't say that it takes up half the space- just that it divides it into two, down the middle. maybe the op would prefer it to one side or the other...? :shrug:

[Pharaoh]

3. I mean it cuts the screen

right down the middle. It was better off to the right.

I don't see the need to make the blogs section bigger. The page just looks off balance now.

[salguine]

8. I gotta say, you're right...I thought it was just me.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

9. Ohh... uhm, yeah, that doesn't seem right.

I don't know what's going on over there.

[Old Codger]

15. You bet

Absolutely out of balance, makes it harder to read that page so I end up skipping it almost entirely now. It is way out of balance giving far too much room for the blog area.

4. Main probelm with the ads

is that if they only load slowly, for whatever reason, they slow down access to DU.

5. Yea the front page has looked wonky since yesterday

:wtf:

[ret5hd]

6. I don't see it on my screen. i wonder why?

[dysfunctional press]

7. are you looking at the democraticunderground.com page?

the main homepage for the site, not the message board.

[ret5hd]

10. ahhh. that's why. i never (well, rarely) go there. just directly to the forums.

[dysfunctional press]

11. same here.

12. It divides up the home page, causing all information on the right

to flow off the page. I don't have a huge screen, maybe it is something to do with my 17 inch flat screen but it is a pain in the neck to keep scrolling to read what is on the right hand side. I can see about 2/3 of the wording.

[Pharaoh]

13. I have a huge screen

and it compresses the latest breaking news items, into tiny cubes with alot less info.On the otherhand it makes the DU journals hugely bigger than the LBN, which should be what the homepage is about. Just MHO :popcorn:

14. Sometimes the home page gets misaligned, like now

[Pharaoh]

16. Thanks Skinner

That looks much better! :toast:

[Old Codger]

17. Yes

Thank You , that is definitely much better...
