    First post and suggestion!

    Hey guys, I registered here after hearing so much about this place at the BPL forums. I've really enjoyed looking around and am considering giving hanging a shot.

    One suggestion...

    For those of us who like to browse at work, it is nice to have a (mostly) grayscale site with an option to remove things like avatars. Ads obviously must stay for non-donors, and that is fine.

    BPL is a good example of this, but I've been a member of other forums where the user has an option to view the site normally or a more "cleaned up" version.

    It may not seem like that big of a deal, but a white backround with black text goes a LONG way in being inconspicuous at work.

    Just a thought!

    Welcome to the forum. Hope you like it here.

    Sounds like you want the browsing equivalent of stealth camping.

    Good suggestion, and the screenshots on wikipedia are pretty ideal for what I want. Problem is, I know next to nothing about computers, I can't even get that stuff installed!

    Exactly! Every once in a while you need a break from accounting.
