OK, please take down that large photo. Pretty please!

It's crashed my browser 10 times.

I switched to another browser. And it crashed that, too.

Then I couldn't find the reply to field because that picture takes up so much real estate. It's about 10 x the size of my 27-inch computer screen.

Good news! The mobile version of BI doesn't suffer any problems with wide messages or oversized images. It automatically shrinks them. Yay!

OT: I hate the navigation and clutter at the top of this board. There has to be a better way to present that information. I hate having to scroll down before I even get to the post I'm interested in.

Sorry - just ranting.

I am open to suggestions. What would you liked removed? maybe I'll start a new thread about this.

Don't be concerned about CALiforniALUM.....all he does is complain....maye I should start a thread to allow for complaining about complainers that complain? No, i guessI'll stay with my cool guy posts!

Punchline after 50 line breaks? That's BearsWiin's signature.

Thank you for remembering. I stopped doing it when others started.

1) Inserting a picture in the thread that is so large it screws up the way the page appears on the screen, so you have to scroll the screen back and forth like an old manual typewriter (remember those?) just to read the posts.

This is by far and away my biggest peve regarding the way people post.

Posting an over-sized picture KILLS any thread I run into.

This is now my new idea - anytime a retarded thread gets going: post a freaking huge picture to it. Topic over.

People: please use that power wisely!

Nothing gets to me more than ASUSunDevil (I'm pretty sure that was his handle), not coming to BI and posting pics of ASU coeds like he used to on the old site.

How about inserting over-sized images, so you have to scroll to Pullman and back just to read a single line.

This is the one that drives me crazy since I have major trouble reading the post quickly if I have to navigate through the oversized image.

Disclaimer: I've probably done many of these things myself, so this is all in fun.

1. Quoting a 10 paragraph post, adding only "this^" or "+1,000."

2. Starting a retort with, "Umm..."

3. Calling "Booth" on a topic that was sort of discussed 6 months ago...on the premium board...at the bottom of an 8 page thread...just because you want credit for the topic.

4. Putting the "punchline" of your post after 50 line breaks. (This was an epidemic on the old board.)

5. Responding to a post with only an emoticon. Worse if the emoticon is nonspecific. Dancing blue carrot? Ok, you liked the post. Noted. Blue smiley carrying a tree? I don't know what that means.

6. Jumping into a thread just to say that you don't care about the topic of the thread. Why would you think anyone cares that you don't care?

7. Being a stickler about others' proper use of "OT" in a title.

8. Vague thread titles that give me no clue if I should click.

9. Passive-aggressive threads about annoying things people do on BI. Seriously though, I don't pay attention to who says what here, so this is not aimed at any particular poster(s).

I'm sure some of these are not unique to BI, but I wouldn't know.

What else...?

At least USC is in our conference. The recent obsession with reposting things from ShaggyBevo annoys me far more. Drawing poorly with MSPaint does not make you the funniest thing on the internet.

I'm still waiting for the "<<Previous Thread | Next Thread>> jumps to be added to the top of posts, not just the bottom.

It seems to convey a mild superiority complex. Rather than calling you stupid they start the post with Ummmm. reminds me of my wife sometimes.

Nothing I hate more in a post.

Ummm.....I think your wife has you pegged, pal!

hate those Oregon song girl and cheerleader pics

Can't stand those Female pole-vaulter action shots either

really a waste of space to see SC cheer team

Would never want to view Cal cheerleader talent

My question back to you is what do you have control over in terms of navigation on this page? I think there is some duplication of links, some poor groupings and some non-essential elements. Do you have user statistics to show which links are most used and which seemed like a good idea but nobody uses them?

I think all Booth claims should be accompanied by links to the original topic, for two reasons:

1) So the discussion can continue instead of being stifled
2) Because if you're going to call someone out for not doing the research, you've got to show that you're willing to do the research. And if the original thread is too hard to find, the Booth was understandable.

Calling too many games trap games. Especially when we aren't really supposed to dominate a game in the first place. Road games are hard. Not every road game is a trap game.

And yeah, yeah there are alway people who 'predicted' a loss, but it doesn't count if you predict every game as a loss.

and referring to EVERY game this season as one that is a turning point and good measuring stick for our season.



for what it's worth, I still consider presbyterian our measuring stick game.

What is your measuring stick measuring? If you're talkin' prayers, okay......

What drives me really nuts is when there are 1-2 threads going on regarding a subject and someone feels the need to start their own thread with their OWN take instead of just posting in the thread that is ongoing. It's like a spoiled only child who absolutely must be heard and can't bear the thought of their super important opinion possibly being lost amidst the discussion. And I don't mean when someone inadvertently does this, but when they say, "My take on this is..." and even refer to the other threads.

This has been an epidemic with the expansion discussions. There are 50 threads with people posting their opinions, and yet multiple people start their own thread with subject lines like, "MY opinion on this whole expansion thing..."

OK, I have to come back to this. How many threads do we have now that start with "You assholes are being too negative"? That is completely obnoxious. Add to the existing threads on the same topic. You are not that special. The board isn't sitting around saying, "Well, I really wonder what Bear123 has to say about this, I hope he'll start his own thread."

I get that most people starting these threads are pissed off and probably don't care, but don't be surprised when nobody cares what YOU have to say.

I am loving this thread. I thought the "feedback" over Tedford's play-calling would have left everyone drained, but this board is in mid-season shape.

I think I see two of of those.

I see about three dozen with that OP's unique issue with the play calling, outcome, state of the program.

When I clicked on this thread today, I expected to see that someone had added "bumping threads that had retired to page 8" to the list of annoying things people do on BI. :p
