ooh starting to look a bi tmore normal

You do know tech that rather than just re-creating all the stuff we had before you COULD just revert

How about having a profile for each poster so we can know a bit about them?
How long they have been on MN,
How often they post,
what are their areas of interest.
This would come up if we clicked on their name. It'll be easier to spot trolls too. Obviously it would only do to have this on our original MN name and not for our 'sensitive' issues names.

BrandyTutter · 15/12/2006 11:56

she's right you know

irritating, but right

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 15/12/2006 11:56

JanH - that's sabotage, I'm sure

JanH · 15/12/2006 11:56

I don't care, I'm shutting down now.

Actually JanH you're right (of course). We'll address that in the new one, or sooner.....

Thanks for the colout change of titles

but could it be more different

THANKS

I was thinking that about profiles and then I wondered about people who'd namechanged to post about their smelly flaps or something personal and if you could click on their name to bring up their profile, then you'd know it was UCM anyway

BrandyTutter · 15/12/2006 11:58

cd, i was talking about JanH

but you can be irritating too, if it helps

DeckthehallsLaDiDaDi · 15/12/2006 11:58

I hate the new layout

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 15/12/2006 11:59

Can I be irritating too please?

BrandyTutter · 15/12/2006 11:59

cliff, some thing go without saying

nutcracker · 15/12/2006 12:00

It's just too much like alot of websites that I have visted and thought 'hmm crap layout can't be arsed' and never gone to again.

Am off to vacuum instead.

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 15/12/2006 12:01
