Thes Tag Lines Are Driving Me Crazy (VAnity)

Posted on 01/09/2003 5:56:00 AM PST by Puddleglum

The new "taglines" after people's usernames are really distracting to me. Is it the intense pressure to think up something too cute? Is it the odd little eye-pulling font that makes it less comfortable to read the article? I can't say for sure. It just doesn't seem to detract from the message board format, at least for me. Does anyone else think so? I love FR but find this new tagline thing a little annoying. Maybe Jim could give us the option to view or not view taglines as part of our user preferences.

It's not New
It's an old feature that John brought back by popular request

Have a nice day J

I clicked on this thread because I knew you had to be a Virginian, victimized by Mark Warner's cheap trick with the DMV! I was going to commiserate with you....

It appears to me you live close enough to walk.

I had a bit of fun with them yesterday but now I think they could be useful. For example, suppose you were offering some information about something, you might want to qualify it in the tag line by writing "(Former IRS employee)" or "(Resident of Yukon)", or something like that. A bit quicker than "And I should know, because..."

Actually, sometimes it's as close as a roll out of bed on the wrong side
