Oz pub slammed over 'No Undie Sundie'

Go Aussie Go!

Don't mind the uptights, they probably still haven't figured out what to do when they get their knickers off anyway :P One day you'll slip one past em.

Reg readers rage at comment icon outrage

@Anonymous Coward

I mean the AC that said: 'If you ever find yourself stunned at how incredibly mind-bogglingly unbelievably stupid people are, you should perhaps take it as a hint that they know something you don't, rather than more grist to your smug ego-mill... etc'

Thanks for the laugh especially the end bit. Honest. I appreciate it. I know it is cruel, but for more kicks, I will now justify my smug ego-mill by poking holes in your flame as follows (no promises to do the same in future. Because!!!111tyness!):

1. Suggest you check this out: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/14/reg_redesign/comments/ (NB: You will no doubt enjoy my comments there too). Of course the article responsible for THIS string of comments and the quantity of respondents also tends to add credence no?

2. Refer to 1, but instead of looking for complaints about the Missing-Paris-Icon-OMG-The-World-Is-Ending-And-I-Will-Never-Look-At-The-Reg-Again.Com, have a look at how many people complain about fixed width. Mmm. Perhaps I'm not the only one?

3. Not really worth my time, but might I also recommend HostsMan from http://www.abelhadigital.com/.

Oooh big words! I like word games because they almost always give me the opportunity to flourish not only my impressive knowledge but my superior capacity to use them efficaciously.

I suggest you lookup the word perspicaciousness as it is obviously a quality you lack to taking someone with a handle of 'NotReallyRequired' seriously... While you are at it, checkout rachis.

Now to wrap up, I would like to point out that very few people know useful things that I don't. It's just the way it is. That's not a hole-poker. Just an honest statement. Secondly, my integrity obligates me to acknowlege and defer to the supperior smugness of Honey in both of these commentaries, and lastly, thankyou for justifying my smug ego-mill universe.

If you would like to reply, feel free to email me: rarelycheckedemail@yay!.com... or wowwie.com or something like that (the first part really is correct).

Seriously underestimated the intelligence of El Reg readers...

I'm stunned that:

1. Everyone thinks the comment icons are the end of the universe

2. There has been no response to the fixed width issue and

3. That almost everyone here is so stupid they've fallen for this little El Reg ploy (taking focus of Item 2).

Meh. If people are so desperate to take it up the ass, then I guess they deserve it... Hope y'all enjoy the extra adverts that'll start within the next three months.

OMFG, what have you done?

The 40% 'useless space to the right' is rotten

At least as rendered in FF, this comments page is a perfect example of why it sucks so badly. 1 feature up the top, a 'special report' or two, an advert or two (and don't think we don't all know you will slowly fill this up more), and blank space for a kilometer. Hate it, and hate the extra scrolling required as a result even more.

Secondly, how about implementing some sort of comments system where you can see ones that have been highly rated on the main story page? Ads. Ah of course. Thankyou.

Otherwise good job... Oh and lastly, Paris because fuck the icons you pathetic-never-laid-teenage-melodrama jerkoffs.
