Thes Tag Lines Are Driving Me Crazy (VAnity)

Posted on 01/09/2003 5:56:00 AM PST by Puddleglum

The new "taglines" after people's usernames are really distracting to me. Is it the intense pressure to think up something too cute? Is it the odd little eye-pulling font that makes it less comfortable to read the article? I can't say for sure. It just doesn't seem to detract from the message board format, at least for me. Does anyone else think so? I love FR but find this new tagline thing a little annoying. Maybe Jim could give us the option to view or not view taglines as part of our user preferences.

Don't be looking at the sun, either...

I assume you saw that too....
CGEB was back today
(For a short while)
That old "looking at the sun" thread was back up too.
(Also for a short time)
S/He was logged in with a different screen name, of course
And
The Famous (Or should I say, Infamous) <Font> was back too

The Thread has been pulled by the Admin Moderator now
(S/He was banned once again But not before threatening to sue JohnRob. LOL)

(Should anybody care to know how S/He does/did the colorized font:....) Just Click Here
(It's just a very simple (downloadable) Font Generator program)

For body of message, see tag line.
To remove tag lines from your screen, click the "X"
in the upper right corner of your desktop.

Here's the offer. I will lease your space and in turn sublet it, take out advertising costs, labor costs, taxes, and give you 50% of the net proceeds. Deal?

I am not a computer dummy, but I can figure out how to add a tag line.

Any pointers?

The taglines were there before.
I don't have a problem with them.
Use of them will probably drop off after the novelty wears off (again). Right now people are trying too hard to be cute with them.
They were originally supposed to be for an e-mail address.

Or why did some of y'all lobby so strong for the taglines to return?

Just because they are fun. Sometimes that's enough.
