My breakdown and assessment of the situation, and as crazy as it may seem, we haven't been on much of a higher level than that for awhile now. If you read through all this, you will receive a free bundle of banannas just for viewing! 1.) We shouldn't have to reprogram our pointing devices and browsers to simply view images properly on a web page. I can see back in 1883 when we are trying to send a Western Union document via Morse Code, but I wish there was a way in IE to override these settings, then I would eat my words. Lately my browser has been pointed at other sites and really enjoying the asthetics of their designs; speedy, ergonomic, sensible, and streamlined. 2.) The MySQL errors started only about a month or so ago, and the site speed was acceptable even a couple months ago. So what changed over this time? More users? Bandwidth problems? Corrupted code or database? Personally, I think one of the techies brought his pet chimp to work one day and it started rewiring the servers on lunch break! Eating our system resources isn't really an option for me as the MySQL errors at least saved me memory! It's just a matter of organization for me to operate in one window, and to clutter my desktop and cover other apps in the background that I'm viewing is ridiculous. I feel like it's 1994 again (without the age differential). 3.) The 'Silence Of The Mods' (sounds like a scary movie) and no explanation of recourse is what's keeping me in suspense here. Can you please explain what the plan is and if this is temporary until Bondagewear 3.0 is implemented within the entire site? There is a plan, right?? Do I need to buy 3 monitors and another gig of RAM just to surf the site? Help us out please. My intuition is uncanny, but I'm not this good thanks, Yoda, but no cigar. 4.) Clicking on the image to close the popup window is very sauve and prevents some scrolling and fumbling around. But I have already lost a very lengthy comment or two because I spend many hours per day on the computer and my fingers sometimes accidentally twitch and click on spots I'm not supposed to. So now we all have to be nimble like Russian gymnasts? Losing 3 paragraphs on a comment, then having to spare another 24 megs of ram to load IE again and time to open a new window seems rather archaic in design. I think this site now needs to come with a User Manual and a one year membership at World Gym. A massage therapist wouldn't hurt, either! 5.) Is there anyone out there?? Houston, come in, Houston?!? 6.) Instead of thumbnails in the gallery, let's just have all the images load in separate windows per page! This way we won't miss a thing and won't have to worry about real world issues like paying bills, emails, art programs, and posting in forums! And everyone who posts will get hits, and we won't have any naked Poser image debates anymore! It will cut down on quite a bit of clicking and bandwidth as our computers will crash before we can close all the windows, and nobody will have to comment. Perfect! Another huge leap backwards for mankind and technology! Now we're talkin', Scotty! 7.) I'm going to bed now, please wake me when the site is fixed and Bubbles has left the building after connecting the servers to the coffee machine. Laffs
