  • Slow the news items Dan!

    Often I miss a lot of news items because they are posted too close to eachother...

    Could you slow down, or enlarge the news thingy to display 3 items rather than one?

    I remember the last time someone complained about too many news updates. Mark G gave one of the funniest lines I every saw here. Anybody else remeber it?

      No, but I'm willing to be reminded of it...

            How about just making some headlines on the news item page that link to the items in question...
            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

              i'm not sure what you mean, but if you click on the "news" link on the links at the top of the forum pages(between "directory" and "store") you will be taken to the news archive page which shows all the news items from all sections in one page

                If you drop the text that I crossed out (or just make it smaller), and make title a link (to open a new brouwer window containing that particular article?), the items won't drop as fast as thay do now.

                Btw; is that page optimised for 800x600, because I have alot of space on the right side of the page

                    The news bar has been scrolling by very fast recently, but all it really takes is to remember to click on the drop-down box once every couple of days and scan the most recent 5 or 10 entries for anything that interests you.

                      Exactly - more effort.

                          Maybe don't stop with the news items, but at least run them through a spell checker:

                              Yeah that is funnier than MarkG's recollection of his own quip.
