Was there a warning of a change/upgrade in the Knots forum and what the effects might be?
After logging in (had to get a new password) I see some background changes and the banner across the top is bigger to the point where I have just over half of the screen left for reading posts. If I hit the F11 key I get about an inch more reading room but loose the back arrow button of my Firefox browser. Which means when I look at a picture I can’t go back to see another or continue reading without hitting the F11 key to get the arrow back and the smaller reading area. In the past the line with the arrow on it was still there but smaller.
If there are any more improvements and I’ll be reading posts one sentence at a time.:(
Edited to add. When this went up the Mzinga line below the banner was gone and the real estate is as it used to be?

"If there are any more improvements and I'll be reading posts one sentence at a time.:( " Too funny! (not) I don't think they announce these "little" changes, QC, but obviously they're messin' around. Right now, the banner is kinda weird in IE, but doesn't bother functionality.
Seems to be back to (abby)normal now but I kind of liked the yellowish (colour deficient guy) background.
They refused me entrance too. I didn't set a new password -- frankly I'd sooner quit than be screwed around -- and a couple of hours later things were back to normal.

I think the password is back to normal now because the browser entered one works, and I didn't have to resort to the "newly issued" one. Looks like the problem was with the Mzinga Inc folks.Notices would be nice when changes are afoot.
Relax folks. You didn't see ANYTHING! (wink, wink)

I have been doing that for some time , almost. I can't repeat what I said this morning when I found changes , including my school nickname had been re-instated-and with even less "real estate".
But glad to see all is back to better than normal- especially after I hit the F11 key you mention-why on earth did nobody tell me that before? (;)
Starting yesterday I received a number of "Bad Request (Improper Host Name)" responses when I clicked on an item. Otherwise, all is normal.

Hopefully, y'all saw this post from Sysop.
A while back, people were complaining about the banner size over at Breaktime. One of the computer savvy types put together some code that would add a "toggle" to the menu line on web browsers. Don't know which browsers it's good for, but it's working in Safari & Firefox for me. It completely hides the banner.
