Except if it reminds you of bloody stools among other things. I look after sick cats most of the day. I deal with this kind of thing all of the time. I did NOT want to see it here. V.V;;

How fortunate, then, that you don't have to see it!

...well, so long as you use Firefox, although the basic technique is portable to any browser with XPath query support and a half-baked DOM.

Of course, this doesn't solve the banner issue, but you can just adblock those out of existence.

I shouldn't have to adblock the banner. If it's awful then they should go back to the old one. I liked the old one. Why do they even have to change their logo? That's stupid.

Because variety is the spice of life?

Sucks for you that you have something bad tied to the image, but since the majority doesn't agree with you, please just stop bitching, as it won't do any good.

Rule of the minority doesn't work here, unless you're Phade or Vlad.

The number of people who are having an emotional outbreak on your scale is...well, one. That's pretty small, and I don't think anyone will make changes for that.

So...if you don't like it, try making use of the fact that your computer is your computer, and modifying the data as it goes in. Works for me; I don't even see the bloody thing anymore. Pun intended.

Ideally, the logo changes yearly.

See, change happens. In this case, change happens because the users voted for this change. The complaints of one unhappy user are insignificant in face of the results of the vote.

Really, you're just going to have to live with it. This is the new Way Things Are for the next year or so. Might as well stop complaining. All it does it get you more worked up and irritate other users. It's not likely to get you any results.

It's not a scale of one. ^^; I'm just the loudest, most obnoxious voice! Many of my friends are outraged over MSN rather than making a big tadah about it here.

I like the new banner. It reminds me more of a brushstroke than a bloodstain, so I don't know what kind of bad crack you guys are smoking.

Somehow, the vote suggests that you and your lurkers are in the minority. Your complaining will get you nowhere, and eventually may qualify you as a troll. You don't want that.

I'm surprised neither you nor your friends have picked up on the "fix it yourself" idea. Sure, it doesn't work in all cases, but this is certainly one that does, since the logo is a matter of personal taste.

That script I linked you to, which I will link here again, does a comprehensive search-and-replace of the .org logo with whatever you want. If you're using Firefox, it'll work fine.

If you're using IE, well, you deserve whatever you get.

If you're using something else, I haven't gotten around to it just yet.



Do you guys just like to complain? If so, that's not a very productive way to do anything.
