It is still there, the poster's name is moved down off the blue band and obliterates the first words of the post

I am sure there are lots of profound thoughts which are totally lost to me!

I am on a mac, using firefox and on the classic style

Oh. Now also have the Big White Space. Hmm.

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 24/02/2009 16:38

Mine keeps changing styles- classic/whatever the new one's called. V annoying.

Oh dear. Seems the 'new updates' may have caused the white spaces thing (not sure about your merging thing, ILoveBrucie, but will investigate).

Sorry. We will try to fix as soon as we can.

IloveBrucie · 24/02/2009 16:01

Yes[weeps]

IloveBrucie · 24/02/2009 16:00

Even happens to mine, wonder if it does if I press return lots of times first

Actually, Hassled, I've just noticed that somewhere else. We'll yell at let the Techs know for you...

IloveBrucie · 24/02/2009 16:00

I can't read the first 5/6 words of the most recent poster - merges with the name, is this a permanent feature?

Hassled · 24/02/2009 15:51

Tech's new updates have caused me to have acres of white space between the thread title and the first post - to the left hand side of the boxy ad. (MN Classic style). This is something other posters were complaining about after the last tweaking, but I didn't have then. Tis very annoying - is it a permanent feature?

RustyBear · 24/02/2009 15:19

snigger - I love your new word - don't know if it was accidental, but 'sproings' is wonderful - a blend of springs and boing - just what Tiggers do!

Hello all. I just asked BigTech what he released and he said 'new updates'.

So that explains it then.

Bleatblurt · 24/02/2009 14:19

I don't like the different colours. I thought they were meant to just be clicky if there was a profile, there was no mention of changing colour.

I'm finding it breaks up the text and makes it harder just to quickly read now that some names are blue and some are black.

[hard to please]

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 24/02/2009 12:14

Aha! Have made you all purple.V pretty.

giraffescantdancethetango · 24/02/2009 12:10

Everyones blue to me

purple should mean that you have clicked on it......mine go purple now ((again, finally)) when I click on the link.

hot pink would be FABULOUS.

especially if teamed with black. would look like a whores boudiare

Ah. may have been the MN switch that killed it. do you think i could sue?
so how can i gat black names then? pink would also be good.

uberalice · 24/02/2009 11:48

Hurray. About time too. It's just fiddlin' about with SQL, init, Tech?

snigger · 24/02/2009 11:48

Oh joy.

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 24/02/2009 11:47

I had a purple one yesterday. Poster's name, that is. What was that?

And I've never had a black name.

I feel left out.

throughasniggerdarkly · 24/02/2009 11:47

Did it work?

I like this new tweak.

We need to introduce hot pink somewhere just to emphasise that this isn't sober workplace MN

Ooh, I want to change my name and have black type.
