deviantART is a high traffic site that makes use of session variables without any performance degredation based on their use.
even though there are 300000 users on WC i highly doubt that all 300000 even touch the message board. there is, in reality, only a select amount of people who interact. therefore, because of this, it would cause minimal impact to use a table to store this information. in fact, it would improve the users experience because most of us browse from multiple locations and therefore doing this would afford us the ability to properly "track" the forum. session variables, which are su
zkreso: if you could create some skins for mozilla then that would rock!
'lo doreen.
mozilla has them gestures too.
chris: to supress popups do the following: go to preferences -> advanced -> scripts and windows then uncheck the "open unrequested windows" option in the "allow webpages to" section. that will stop popups.
why would stardock support... a) a competing "product?" b) a "product" that is a _hack_ of a _system .dll_? c) a "product" that is not a product at all? if you want Windows XP Visual Styles then i suggest that you go to deviantART, DeskMod, LOS or Skinbase.
i've pretty much switched over to mozilla. it 0wns IE cause, in my testing, is alot faster at page loading and offers some great features. on top of that i love the tabbed browsing feature rather than having 10^987234 windows open on the taskbar.
hmmmm ...
mozilla has come a long way from the beginning. it is definitely superior to IE in many ways. i'm toying with the idea of making it my default browser too. its email capabilities are wonderful as well. overall, its a very powerful browser that i would recommend to just about everyone.

they probably go out of their way to be nasty so that they at least have some form of a reputation intact, regardless of whether it be a good or bad one.
thank god for backups *knocks on wood*
the "slum of the community" is an intriguing quote.
nothing stops anyone from submitting themes for Linux to deviantART.
forgot to add this: http://www.guiolympics.com/skins.asp?library=27
in case you missed it there is a GUI Olympics category here at WC. the sites are integrated.
i gotta agree with russ here cause this chart of yours sure makes WB looks slower than .msstyles.
congrats to all participants. this was definitely fun!
congrats alex! =)
