BETEO Forum 'work mode'

metalangel · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 7:19

Perhaps there's an obscure setting I'm missing, but...

How about a 'stealth' version of the forum, for those of us who browse in work? If the massive colour bar (which is used by nobody except Shin and AceAce Babiiiiiiiiiiiii) and Dimlies box were gone, it would be a lot more inconspicuous and look almost like a lot of the other browser-based systems I use.

Or is this a massive impossiblity?

I don't want a boss key, I want the forum to look less conspicuous.

Use a textbased browser?

metalangel · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 7:43

This is a work PC, I can't go installing new stuff on it, it won't let me. Hell, the only way I'm able to change the wallpaper is by rightclicking on something to choose 'set as wallpaper', everything else is locked out.

Why not use the quick reply at the bottom to avoid the colour bar? I'm assuming you've turned Z's banner off... you could even turn off avatars and sigs.

Use firefox/opera and disable stylesheets

kalmar · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 9:29

Switch off image loading. That's what I do anyway.
The colour bars are still there but you can move them off the edge of the screen or use quick reply..

I'll can take a look at making a text-only(ish) template if you want.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

I have images turned off and the banner turned off.

The dimlies only show when you're replying, so just write quicker.

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 9:39

Or use the quick reply box.

kalmar · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 9:39

Shouldn't you be busy routing trains around closed-due-to-dead-bodies track segments? That sounds like much more fun anyway.

Tell you what, start VNC and we'll have a go at working the trains and you can keep us entertained here. Deal?

See the "[Show] Post a reply" thing at the bottom? That's it, click that.

You'd think I should know that.

I did think so. But then I wasn't sure.

It was graphics-heavy, so I'm not sure why he didn't.

That's what that does? That's pretty good. I'll use that for now. Cheers!

Malc · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 10:20

Yeah, something like that would be good, but I'd like the full version at home! So some way that could auto detect where I am from would be cool! or just do it url based!

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 10:26

Hmm. If I only put it on Bill, then you could use Ted at home.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 10:31

I can't use Bill or Ted from work - I just slip in through Grim...'s backdoor.

He's more an "on top" kind of guy.

I did consider if that was NSFW but frankly I've seen worse walking around towns of an afternoon (shudders at memory of the Mankini incident in Cornwall)

Did you just Google "naked bloke with laptop on nads"? Or, more worryingly, did you have that picture in your .. ahem.. archive?

Shin · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 16:53

Oh gods I thought I was seeing one of the BEEX'ers then, that had me in a bit of a...a...tizzy? Yeah, tizzy'll do

I wasn't really hoping it was anyone. I just scrolled down and saw it and thought, 'Oh holy hell! I wonder which one of them that is?!'

Because it has large blocks of contiguious colours, prime for being RLE? At least it looks that way. I can't tell if that grey is a gradient or not.
