I have no idea why people even use IE anymore?

It's so easy to get your comp infected trough IE that it's laughable.

I only use IE where i have to.

Go netscape/firefox/opera :)

Before we go drifting off into a debate about the evils of Microsoft, I just want to take the opportunity to again say how very, very, very much I dislike the Bold white on black interface. :(

I haven't read most of it, but ... 6 pages of complains about a small colour change?! Don't you guys have anything better to do?! ;)

Anyway, to be nice, I added this to Flyspray ;) ...

http://www.cantr.net/flyspray/index.php ... ils&id=107

And until then, I'll add a poll about the colour on the forum, which will be decisive.

:x Why do people call things <i>gay</i> like that?! It's really rude, and makes absolutely no sense in that context.

It isn't really rude... it is a naive and uninformed adoption of a word to substitute for 'bad' or a similar word.

Originally it would have been offensive and rude, yes. But now that word is used by kids with a totally different meaning.

To be fair using the word 'gay' for homosexuality is offensive if you think about it... :roll:

Except that sometimes they refer to themselves that way.

On another note, gay seems to be the word that changes the most... happy, homosexual, bad... what next?

It's my understanding that when used that way, (generally by junior high students), 'gay' actually means 'lame' or something similar. In that context it has nothing to do with homosexuality.

Or maybe Spider was just saying the color change was really happy and bright? :) (Though since there's now a lack of colors I guess not...)
