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. :D

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.
