I never heard of the beta site. Why wasn't it on the MP carousel on the main page (the one with sale announcements and VOMs) I don't look at my mail very often. So the majority agreed that they wanted the thumbnails to be so huge? And for all the carousels on the main page?

(note in case you don't re-read my previous post: I found out the problem with the images-- it was a single item I had blocked via Block Element-- fixed now, but it would be nice not to have that bar at the bottom of the page with FB/Twitter/etc. I really hate those things., esp. since I do not use ANY of the services listed-- no FB account, no Twitter account, never read either site, no Youtube account and almost never look at linked to videos, and I don't use Google+, either-- so that banner is just taking up valuable space for me as this is a 15yo monitor, which I don't want to change because it has stickers on it.)
