Didn't I tell you to sign the dotted line without reading the small print first? :666.gif:

Try landscape view.

bigger small print landscape view:

(Is the only difference the absence of graphics, i.e., banner across the top, avatars, "new" post notifications, etc.?)
And no empty space left and right of the content frame, no "joined" date, no email and report buttons, no links to the teletekst page, the blog, and the news feed, no reminders of who moderates what on every page of the forum, no who's online/statistics/birthdays on the forum index, ...

"View active topics" is still there, and if you're logged in the "view new posts" link lists new posts.


I didn't mean to hijack Juneaus topic, so I'm moving the AT mobile discussion to the Grab Bag.
Roger, 666; I actually did notice the other changes, just trying to use "shorthand." Don't think I'd caught the "View new posts," though - very cool. And yeah, I know the landscape view definitely helps; the problem is more with my middle-aged eyes.

Anything else for me to sign? :happy.gif:

Yep, I really did. As proof, here's a picture with flash:

Took almost 2 hours.

Last year I did the Obama campaign logo:

Jim, those are some pretty awesome carving skills.

BTW - There was a guy in a red Ajax hoodie right behind the catcher in last night's world series game in Philly. I was pretty amazed at that.

Bit of feedback from me on the new Ajaxtalk login. My phone managed to log me out and because I'm a bit colourblind it took me about 8 goes to read the random number generating bot thingy to log in again. Any chance we can use a different version? Just a small moan-otherwise site is excellent

I don't have a prize but if anyone get's this I'll be suitably impressed. Dutch history. I was walking along Piccadilly in Central London yesterday with time to kill before a meeting when I came across HSBC Bank with a big engraved stone on the side in Dutch and English. The 'prize' is for where exactly I was and what it said. I'll post the answer and a picture next week if no-one's got it.

Thanks btw to whoever sorted out the login letter generating thing-the journey home from work is all the better for being able to post random historical quiz questions!

What do they mean, "Dutch youngsters today"? Haven't you guys always been this way? :drecul.gif:

So Ko, I've solved it I think but when did you start supporting ADO '20 from Heemskerk?

Have to admit I'd not heard of Simon Kistemaker before I just looked him up (unless of course you mean Dr. Simon Kistemaker, a distinguished New Testament scholar and Professor of New Testament Emeritus who holds a doctorate from the Free University of Amsterdam).

Please tell and solve a minor mystery.

Jari Litmanen: there's a private message waiting for you! :ajaxsmiley.gif:

Oh whatever, I'll post the question here, too... I need the help of our friends from the Nordic nations...

As you may or may not know I am working as a music journalist. Right now I'm working on an article about the ex-singer of Norwegian rockband Madrugada. The guy's name is Sivert Høyem, but on the cover of his new album his family name is spelled Höyem.

My question: what's the difference between ø and ö? Does this mean the man actually changed his name, or is it just a matter of Norwegian vs Swedish spelling or whatever... I thought you might know.

Thanks.

K.

Miep Gies R.I.P. Nothing else to say on this but I thought it was worth posting. A dark section of Amsterdam's past has moved a little further into history.

BBC4 showed a 2 hour documentary film last night about Anne Frank and this brave lady was featured a lot. Ironically I put the computer on this morning and read she died.
She was an amazing and very brave person .

I was listening to our local National Public Radio affiliate on my iPhone during my walk with Chula the Goggle-Eyed Ricochet Hound this morning when I heard the story about Miep Gies, and it brought tears to my eyes. Though she modestly insisted otherwise, I believe that she was a true hero.

I found this while shopping for a couple of DVD's from Finland. If anyone speaks Suomi (Finnish) then this looks a really good buy.
