I don't want to be pinged to poetry.

Your MistyCa graphic is a huge waste of bandwidth for dialup users. At 140KB, it will take a dialup user 26.41 seconds to download the graphic, stalling their browser in the meantime. And every time they hit Refresh on their My Comments page, it will take another 26.41 seconds to refresh it, depending on their browser settings. But that is what will happen to most users.

I suggest you remove the graphic from your website or rename it so you aren't plaguing us all with your bandwidth-hogging graphic.

And it is so wide that it pushes the sidebar right off the right side of the window on my My Comments page. And it'll probably be there for a day or so. At 1200x125 pixels, it will push everyone's sidebars off the page until they are running at 1600x1200. And that's a little awkward since FR isn't really formatted that way.

All this when I generally loathe poetry to begin with.

Thank you for that suggestion. Sorry about the graphic. I will definitely remove it until it is fixed.
