Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Actually, it's a lot easier to read now that I have piss-poor eyesight. Have your eyes gone bad too, Fetch?

On a serious note, the old layout gave you a quick heads up of your favourite flagged threads and if you were the last one, so you knew when to re-visit, this one makes me have to scroll!!!!!!!!

If you would like to compare and contrast with the old version, here's the URL where you can still see the old version (although I'll be removing that soon):

http://www.fetcheveryone.com/bak.knowledgebase.php

Mainly then:
1) The font is *bigger* on the thread titles, and the thread creator tucks in underneath.
2) A clearer 'Start new thread' bit.
3) Most of the junk above the threads is now over on the right. Using my screen height as a ruler, on the old version I could see seven threads, all squished down in the bottom third of the page. Now I can see ten threads without scrolling, and they occupy at least half of the page.
4) The search still isn't any better (yet). Sorry HappyG(rrr) :-)
5) The code that automatically reloads the thread list is *much* simpler, which is good news for the server.
6) Tidied up the pagination and categories into one simple bar.
7) I felt like it :-)
