Click on the article you’ve been pinged to.
Hit report abuse and ask the mod to do it..
It's HAL's fault.
one has to use certain currently top-secret compounds and substances, paints, etc., that fully absorb the sonar waves, rather than reflect them. hope this helps!
What happened to the site??? It looks horrible today!!!
My normal entry point for FR has been my "My Comments" page. I can no longer access that, but am shunted to some very cluttered-looking "ping" page, half of which today is colored in puke green!!!
Still seeing the puke green on a cluttered-up “ping page” instead of easier-to-read black mini-font on my “My Comments” page.
Gack! Yesterday the Religion and News Forums looked okay. Today they are cluttered messes, too!
Still getting this cluttered, messy-looking screen with a lot of stuff in puke green. Have some hackers been screwing up the “My Comments” formast???
It’s because the Admins have it in for you.
The “puke green” is not a bug, it’s a feature: It tells you at a glance that the posting is from you.
Oh. Previously I figured out which posts were mine when at a glance I saw my own nickname as the poster. (Besides just remembering my own words.)
I can think of better ways to tell me something was my post other than making my words look like puke.
Besides, the new "feature" lacks the features of a) distinguishing text as a link and b) distinguishing an unclicked link from a clicked link.
And the non-shrunken font helps make the whole page more cluttered-up and difficult to take in.
