| 261786 | 2004-08-15 12:40:00 | I used to use it as a homepage, but as I use my own webpage display setting the text has gone to pot. It's crapp, time for a move. Phil |

So many web designers have not heard of the KISS principal. I remember a few years ago a site I went to and on their home page you had a choice of text mode or graphical and boy was the text mode fast. In so many cases the graphics actually only clutter the page and make it harder to read. |

| 261789 | 2004-08-15 20:33:00 | no sir, i dont like it one bit, i think the flash thing is rather annoying, also the same as the ads now on the varsity.co.nz site annoying flash ads that waste bandwidth. | Budda (2736) | ||

| 261791 | 2004-08-15 22:49:00 | I agree, andrew. That's a truly great site. And if you follow only some of their links, there's enough reading to keep you occupied for hours - or days... |

| 261792 | 2004-08-15 23:01:00 | I agree Laura, that's why I changed - it is news as it should be and not (IMHO) sanitised, pc'ised, watered-down to a 7yo reading level, regionalised propaganda. The news we receive is is no way "news". [/end of rant] :D |

| 261793 | 2004-08-16 01:53:00 | The mystery of why I wasnt able to log onto xtramsn was that it was blocked by the hosts file. Interesting as this is a pre-compiled hosts file I downloaded from here: www.accs-net.com It had ads.xtra.co.nz, xtra.co.nz and xtramsn.co.nz in it. Someone thought that the xtra site was too intrusive? |

Plot, considering Telecoms entry into the 1g cap broad band area (and all the dirty telecom tricks their playing around b/b acess), what other explanation could there be. |
