Now that they have backgrounds in them they're even more distracting. I may just have to start using Proxo again.

Edit:...yeah. I think I will. Thank you, Shrap.

Thank you, Richard. I wish more people would have that attitude. I too, think that the sidebar would be fine on the topic and category level, but it is just wasted space in the threads and other areas.

6) As soon as I get some time, I'll be looking for this Proximitron program. I always thought it was a firewall, not a way to edit out "undesirable" HTML.

Its not a firewall at all. Its an ad-blocker and HTML filter.

Ah, readability.

Thanks Covert. Took me a bit to figure out why it wasn't working..I forgot to turn the new filter on.

A bit of a resource hog, but not too bad.

EDIT: of course its also making the top of the area (user controls, banner, announcments..) disappear as well. Oops.

EDIT2: speaking of bugs, even with a non-proxied Firefox, the edit window now has a non-functional button in between "change this post" and "delete this post".

Yup, noticed that about Covert's filter too. I turned off all other filters, just to make sure.

Richard:
Are there plans to make the press releases more legible? It is not that it is a bad image, it is just really hard to read the text on top of it.

That used to be the Spellcheck button. I can confirm that it is now bugged in Firefox.

Gandalf Parker, please do not post anything if all you are going to do is try to incite flames. Those issues have long since been resolved and you dragging them up does nothing productive. Thank you.

Is you screen really dark or something? they are perfecly readable on my laptop which is half as bright as normal on battery power.

No... They are IMO poor choices of color combinations. I can read them, but it is annoying to do so. Anyone with poor eyesight isn't going to be able to read them.

The stuff at the top of the page? the Main Index, Who's Online, and Search stuff? I can see all of that just fine. Don't know what causing it to disappear on your end.

Wait, I see what's wrong. I told you guys to set the byte limit to 10000 just in case, but I had it on 7000. If you set it to 7000 they show up.

EDIT: Fixed the filter so that will only find what is is supposed to even if the byte limit is higher:
Code:

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" id="pr">**<tr></tr></table>*\n</td>

EDIT2: Better one:
Code:

<table \w \w \w \w id="pr">*<tr></tr></table>?\n</td>
