It is a skin. Underneath and to the right of the navigation bar at the top of each page should be two "a"s. Click the dark one to go back to the dark skin.
Making sticky while we weather the storm. Important threads you might have a hard time finding again from scratch, start making your bookmarks.Looks like it's fixed. My posting history's back, at any rate.gmax
Edit: But my post history hasn't updated with this post, so it looks like there's a new issue.
Out of curiosity, I tried gamespot.com/mac. It gives all of the Mac games in the usual sortable ways.
Actually, GameSpot utilizes IP bans. From the ToU:
"Intentional, repeated, or severe violations are cause for the banning of your account, all use of the boards from your IP address or your entire ISP. In such event, we also reserve the right to contact your ISP concerning your activities."
It's not the email address, it's the IP address.
Should anyone who uses Yahoo, Gmail, or another service not be allowed to register? It would be very detrimental to new registrant numbers. People with a school or ISP email are just as liable to be trolls. I have to disagree with this.
Edit: Thinking about the practicality of this, I can't imagine how it would be done. They would need the email address URL for every school around the world, in addition to the same for ISPs.
I suggest we move the stadium to a better team.duxupIndeed. It's a great ballpark, and if anyone's ever been to the concerts and fireworks, those are both excellent.
I have family in Pittsburgh that I visit often, and I go to Pirates games and I follow the team a bit. What I see disappoints. They get rid of their good players. My relatives just laugh whenever I mention the team.
When they get someone good, they get rid of them. It's been like that for a while now.cell_dwellerThere is so much truth to this.
Nothing looks bad except for the Intel graphics. You're going to want an ATI or nVidia card. Which one depends on your budget. But you won't be doing much (or any, depending on the game) gaming with that. You might not want to get it depending on the price, as you'll want a new video card.
While it makes sense to do this, there are numerous drawbacks to using Ajax. Among them:
1 Users cannot utilize tabbed browsing to navigate, as many do.
2 It can be strenuous on servers.
3 It can cause issues with bookmarking and back/forward buttons.
4 It's another avenue for malicious code.
I'm not saying that it's not a bad idea, but there are issues with Ajax. As it is, I'm very happy with the current system. The lighter pages for images currently do a good job. Here's what my browser says about a given image page for Far Cry 2:
Size of main page:
48,048 bytes
Number of inline elements:
67 (519,642 bytes)
With the image being 52,957 bytes. This alone is larger than the main page, so I personally have no complaints. However, my Internet is faster than most, so I don't know how long it takes to load on a slower connection. It might be more desirable then.
