I hate to sound like an ingrate, but here's the thing. I'm using the starfield theme, and I guess it's the default -- because I didn't do anything to get it. But I've noticed something very disturbing.
There's stars scattered willy-nilly over the main forum index and throughout the subforums. But not entirely willy-nilly. Because I never have a star in a box with my name. I mean, I look at Haggis Killer, and he's got a big bright magnitude -1 star next to his name. And Drunk Monk has 2 of them! Same with Greg and The Queen and El Dingo--
But me? Every time my name appears in a box, you can bet there won't be a single star present. I'm not asking for much. Even a measely +3 magnitude star would make me feel a little less insignificant.
Again, I don't mean to complain, and I'm not suggesting the Administrator is playing favorites -- or at least, not exactly. However, it's hard to ignore--
Wait a sec. Wait just a sec.
Hmmm. The starfield is background, isn't it. If I page down or up a bit...
Ahah! I can manipulate the index to fit the starfield. Yes! There, a magnitude -1 in MY box. And there, Drunk Monk doesn't have any. Same with El Dingo, The Queen... Greg still has one. But I can fix that. Sorry, Greg. Your star is gone! Oh look! I've got three stars in my box now!
