I've had the same issue for a couple of months. Many have.

Thank you!

After Dekker put me through a zillion paces -- it didn't work.

Your tip did the trick.

But I have a follow up question: Once I made that change the appearance of the boards is really hard to look at. Instead of a smooth, blue, background, everything is STARK white.

Is there a way to eat my cake and have it too?* Can I change the appearance back to one that is not blinding?

I said that if the Chargers lose the Ravens game and continue losing then Norv will be fired in the GD thread and I got banned for reason "Norv bashing in GD thread"

How is that bashing if I'm speaking the truth? And its not like I attacked Norv personally or anything. I said he will get fired and that it is a good thing for us. I don't understand why I should get banned for that. Once Dean Spanos actually fires Norv when he doesn't make playoffs, is the mod who banned me gonna go and call out Spanos or something?

In other words. At the time, you were being a pain in the ass. Still asking why someone thought you were being a pain in the ass, means you are still being a pain in the ass.

What was your question?

I can't believe you banned me for 2 weeks because I asked why I got banned. All I wanted was an answer, I didn't come here to argue and debate whether or not I deserved it. Isn't that what this thread is for?

Instead you banned for two weeks saying "Banned for whining 24 hour ban".

How is it whining if I'm merely asking why I got banned? I'm new to this forum and I have already read the rules but I wanted to know what I touched up on which got me the 24 hour ban.

You could ban me again since I called you out on this....or you could take the high road and show class and maybe explain to me next time why I got the 24 hour ban. Don't take this personal cause its not.

BTW if your not the mod who banned for the 2 weeks then I sincerely apologize.

The gameday thread is not the place to sit and spam the same thing over and over again. Or root for the other team to win.

Ok, understood. Thank you for the response in an adequate manner. This is all that I wanted. I just wanted an answer.

And now I won't post crap like that in the GD thread.

On that I can't help you with. It's something Joel will have to look at. But I would like some cake.

Been annoying.

I want Manti Te'o. Would love to see a defensive player win it. And he's anchored an amazing defense this year

I predict:
Manti Te'o
Johnny Manziel
Collin Klein

I don't have much faith in the prediction. Maybe 52-48 versus Manziel.

I don't think this should have been moved 2 minutes after putting it up. The Heisman Trophy is of interest to most, if not all, football fans, and I put it up 1 hour before the broadcast of the Heisman presentation. Seems it could have stayed at least for that hour and maybe one after, and would have given folks something to talk about without the angst (let alone repetition) the GD board seems to be currently undergoing.

That said, if you'll excuse me, I must go back to the GD board to read up on whether we shoulda kept Brees; we shoulda kept Marty; we shoulda kept Sproles; AJ needs to go; Norv needs to go; the o-line sucks; and the team is moving to LA.
