Zooming fixes nothing, it makes it worse. I can read all of the small text on my screen at 100% size and my resolution set to 1600x1200 just fine and I like the fidelity of my images without them becoming soft and blurry. I also have no desire to zoom other pages which display properly without the restriction. I'm fine with the front page being set to a certain size, but for forum reading and pictures it should fit my window.

If it was desired to keep the official Glossyblue that matched the front page, fine I can understand that. But another GLossyblueMegaXL setting that isn't restricted would be good.

It was a joke. Thus the #3 there. ;)

Glossy Blue with no fixed width with would be pretty cool, if that were another available skin. I'd rather have collapsible spoiler and strikeout tags though. :D

I think you think that mods can do WAY more than they actually can.

Most forums limit those to admins only, and even some of those prevent some admins from accessing them.

And it was then that the extent of Dsh's empire became apparent to the unwashed masses.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Well hey, then we're lucky the site background isn't the box art of a certain unnamed game...

I was going to play Brawl today, but ended up playing No More Heroes 2 instead. I forgot how much I love this game, I just killed the gothic lolita. Almost done with the game :)

Started playing Professor Layton and the Last Specter this week. This is the first time I'm playing Layton and I'm enjoying the puzzle challenges. Anyone else playing this game?
