One of the many reasons I'm so glad I no longer work in an office... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)


Neither do I (and I never have), but I'd be fired if I attempted to view the forum while working... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

You can disable automatic loading of images. I haven't done this for ages, not since I was using dialup, but browsers still have that option. It's still there in Firefox - edit -> preferences -> Load images automatically

When did it change?
I'm not sure I ever saw the logo before this. Perhaps it's the same on the certificates?

Getting it right is vital when it comes to logos.

The government paid a lot of money for this - http://www.ogc.gov.uk/

(look at it sideways!)

At the time YAP gave us a little script to chop it off - I applied that, and never see the new one if on my own computer. At work, I do and it sort of blobs at me every time I peek at the forum. I guess that makes me less likely to go foruming in my precious teabreak time...

Some devious people I know specifically use this browser:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_%28web_browser%29

Because it looks like they're doing some sort of suitably imposing coding....!

Lynx!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

It's what we had on the university unix-based vt-100 systems when I first started on the web (1994)...aaah, happy days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) people who know what lynx is (and I'm not referring to the deodorant) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

(anyone remembers gopher?)

But anyway - if you have adblock plus, you can block images selectively.

I used to run Lynx on my Solaris box at home... SSH session from work to home meant I could browse the net from a terminal and look like I was working (this was obviously in the quiet periods!).

Oh, and there was always X11 tunneling over SSH if I wanted to open a proper browser on the sly which wouldn't be subject to the policies of the proxy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Hrm, memories of running eggdrops and trialling a MUD server on my 'nix box... *sigh*

That's right. It is different on certificates now too, hence my Grade 3 one doesn't match (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Naturally conversations get diverted, it's normal. My "tech speak" knowledge is just sadly lacking , despite everybody trying to drag me into the 21st century (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
