Big Shouty Thread/forum Titles!!!
Horrible. Waaaaaay too pushy. How about something small and unobtrusive in a tasteful font?

I deliberately typed that title in upper case letters. This forum's so smart it needs a slap.

It doesn't look like it's all CAPS.

At the top of each thread or forum is a full path of the thread or forum. The last part is now in large unpleasant text.

It should be in pink for the desired effect.
Or perhaps we can put to use the BLINK and MARQUEE HTML tags.

Less than 5 hours. Probably as little as one or two judging from the usual speed at which people will start Apolyton/Community threads in which they can spam under the pretence of commenting on a new feature.
I'm surprised there isn't a thread about the quick search boxes at the top of each thread.

Hadn't noticed the search boxes either.
And anyway - TCoCB are now my main source of postcount, and entirely legitmately at that.
Mark - Better new that they're not bold, but to be honest, I didn't really see anything wrong with them in the first place.

tell me what that is, and then add it to the acronyms thread, and there's two more...
What does TCoCB stand for?

I honestly didn't know what the heck he was talking about. It doesn't even bother me, obviously, or I would have noticed sooner.

I think the thread titles looked better the way they were before. Now my eyes water looking at them.

No problem with them here. Besides, if the thread gets lots of posts, you're not going to spend a lot of time near the top of the page, and if it dosen't get lots of posts...you probably still won't spend a lot of time near the top of the page.

I also dislike the SHOUTY forum titles, they are much too large. And coupled with the strange looking search boxes, they should be decreased quickly  por favor.

Why do you still have a problem with me?
Why?
I corrected the troublesome spots?
I told you WHY your part of the Apolyton 100 was messed up.
I agreed to fix it.
You were nice about it.
and suddenly you are insulting me in EVERY thread I go in.
I am beginning to get quite annoyed.
Why?
Is it merely because of 1.) a lack of information on your entry
and 2.) the fact that I said you spammed in your entry; and yet, your revised entry (which you submitted) also said that you spammed.
It's not MY fault if I don't know EVERYTHING you do on the forums.
Please, what is your problem?
Perhaps we could find a solution.
Thank you

Obviously not. Making snide remarks is what Ect does. 
Don't take it personally.

A suggestion for the forum titles: Why not move the actual thread title to beneath the rest of the location, so rather than having
|
Quote:
|
|
Apolyton CS Forums > Miscellaneous > Apolyton/Community > Big Shouty Thread/forum Titles!!!
|
where it usually cuts the thread name in half, it would be like
|
Quote:
|
Apolyton CS Forums > Miscellaneous > Apolyton/Community >
Big Shouty Thread/forum Titles!!!
|
and would be much neater, clearer, and aesthetically pleasing.
