Anyone else notice that as of this morning on the front page the random underlined green text is to the point of unreadable... not that I like those underlined portions as 99% of when you go to mouse over them they relate to some kind of pay for service link...

the word microsoft is underlined and in green but is small.

Yup, I see it too. Been that way for a day or two. I figured it would be noticed by the staff and fixed.
P.S. viewing with IE 6

Thanks. I just noticed it too. As far as I can tell, it's only a problem in IE, and not in Firefox. We'll try to have it fixed in a jiffy. :)

I've contacted Kontera to see what's going on - they control the code from their end, I can't do anything. :?

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but if it would be possible to allow subscribers to selectively choose which types of ads to display, it would be nice. For example, I don't mind the banner ads and such, but I loathe that Kontera inline crap. Just a thought. I've turned all ads off right now (because of the loathing). Almost makes the homepage appear barren.

Yes, that's something that's on our list of things to implement. I don't have an ETA on it - we're working on a lot of other things behind the scenes right now.

Well, to be honest, most of the work we're doing right now is all on our back-end publishing system. It will make the jobs of the editors much easier, and there will be some minor improvements to the way the site works in general. Phase 2 is a much bigger change, and one that the whole community will notice, but I can't talk about that yet. ;-)

You know I really hate that phrase. Possibly because I use it myself to much.
