I don't intentionally single out anybody. If you think you're being singled out then maybe you need to reconsider your behavior in the forum."

So if you got paid by someone to guard a warehouse and the propreitor said to shoot anyone that enters, you would?

And anyway, how on earth can you expect me (or anyone) to show you any respect if you blatantly disregard even the most polite things people post?

Again, I asked if you'd remove a post for me, it's still there, something that would take you a second to do, something I posted by mistake thinking it would help out a member.  If I were the moderator in that situation I'd have happily removed it at the request of the member, so what's the problem there exactly?  What are you waiting for?  I'll tell you, you're not waiting for anything because you have no intention of removing it for me.  It's because it's me that asked if you'd do it, but with anyone else and it would have been removed no problem, just like any decent person would expect.  It's not rocket science, the post was a mistake and I asked politely for it to be removed - simple really.

And you're wrong about the Top of Forum button.  It needs to be where it's supposed to be, and that means whererever you are when you just finished reading a page and want to go "back to index".  That means it needs to be where I said it needs to be, OMG!  You can comment on this stuff, but just like those that are responsible for it, you clearly haven't got a clue what you're talking about.  There's nothing terribly wrong with having it at the top of each page where they have it, but that should only be secondary, it should primarily be where it is needed, at that means at the bottom of each thread page on the same row as the page selection buttons.

I really don't understand why that is so hard to grasp, and of course it isn't, you only have something to say because it's me that mentioned it.

And the naming, well that's just as nondescript as the rest of the design.  I suppose Top of Forum is technically bearable, but if the forum was designed for ease of use and being comfortable to use, it would be called Back to Index, because that's what it does!  The forum designers shouldn't have to take a board meeting, sit around the table trying to get the naming right, they simplly have to do what is obvious.  The Play button on my gear is called a Play button because that's what it does!

Bloody hell, fancy that!

The Back to Index button should be called Back to Index because that's what it does, it's not rocket science, and neither is knowing where to put it (and after all this crap, I'm starting to coming up with rather more interesting places it could be put).  What I pointed out earlier, where I said the button should be, that's just common sense design logic.  The fact that the designer doesn't appear to posses that, is kinda worrying.  So carry on trying to convince people that your behaviour towards me is standard and acceptable, and carry on trying to tell a competent designer that you know better than he does.

Either way, the only person you're kidding, is yourself and perhaps a few gullible ones that might actually believe you.
And before you do, don't bother making a reply to debate the button thing, I know what I'm talking about - you're wrong and I'm right - I'm that confident.

Ladies and gentlemen, kneel to the new Renderosity forum, yet another example of how Apple's bullshit is destroying our lives.  Must cater for the bullshit and to hell with the majority of us who wouldn't touch that crap with a ten foot barge-pole.  Many years ago, some dumbfuck at Apple thought it would be wise to have a one-button mouse, the result being that even Windows users sometimes suffer just so that the one-button bullshit is uniform across platforms for the coders.  And many years ago, some dumfuck at Apple thought it would be cool to have shitty-looking jellybean computers sat on our desktops and to call them iMacs, the result of which has made every talentless designer stick a glossy jellybean gradient over everything they fucking draw.  Sure, it looks as shit as a jellybean iMac does, but things like that have no relevence to sheeple designers that have no talent of their own.

And not too long ago, some dumbfuck at Apple launched the iCrap range, the result of which is that even your quality of life on Renderosity is being effected by it, due to them thinking they need to cater for this bullshit.  What you have here is the result of catering to those fucking touch devices.  And instead of creating a mobile version of the site that parses the same data as the main site, they've destroyed the main site for everyone else.

When are companies going to learn that in the greater scheme of things, hardly anyone even uses those fucking devices!  The millions they sell pale in comparison to the amount of actual computer users out there.  You'd think they'd all learn from Microsoft's mistake when the arrogant bastards took away the Start button and thought they could manipulate the desktop users into touchscreen mentality.

THEY FAILED! ... which is why the Windows Start button is back, it's because they realised that the majority of us are not touchscreen tits, and never will be.  You need a proper desktop forum, and if you want to cater for the touchscreen brigade, fine, bloody well do it right and parse the text from the site and run it into a special iCrap version of the forum intsead of fucking everything up for the rest of us!

renderosity.com for the sensible people.
icrap.renderosity.com for the rest.

Cheers!
