Actually, I like this. Capt. Jack for short. Everybody will think of Torchwood, then.
Or, since he's blue and this is a Trek board, then Shran. (Isn't that the Andorian's name?)

It's awful. It's all just awful.
So, did UGO demand a bigger Ad-box or did the owner of this site cut a deal to get more money by increasing the size of the ad-box?
Now imagine what it's like for us folk with an old school not so wide monitir and slightly larger font for ewase of reading - the forum descriptions now take up to 3 lines instead of 1
Ouch, I didn't even think about that.
From the information that's been made available, it seems like AntonyF just felt like messing around. Even the mods weren't aware of the changes being made.

I know how you feel. I have an Acer Aspire One, resolution 1024x600. This setup just eats up all my screen space. I'd have better luck using a Ouija board and a bag of tea grounds.
This just popped up too, except it was moving images and everything:
I mean, really. That's just silly.
This is what happens when you're no longer a Premium member. Wow, the ads have gotten much worse.

Gene, the small bird of the galaxy!
I'll do a full cavity search and get back to you with my findings.
It was a joke, but an accurate one. Don't you have nine threads to start about your latest everyday discoveries, like amazing things you've found in your navel?
And i just lost it.
I don't think it's even just an issue for non-premium members since all of the sidebars have gotten wider. It doesn't even look right on my 1680x1050 display at home.
It also increases the need for a mobile friendly version of the site as it doesn't display very well at all on my phone anymore.
I can understand that the state of the advertising market is such that these things might be necessary but I'd buy a premium membership just for the option to turn the sidebars off entirely.
Oh, and as for the bird, this place is run by a Romulan - wrong type of bird entirely.
I prefer Zathras.
This I like.
How about Little Blue?

Might not help for the mobile version, but I've hacked up a quick GreaseMonkey script, downloadable here. Install the GreaseMonkey plugin, save the file as untwittrekbbs.user.js, open in firefox, and you get to enjoy the BBS in wide-screen glory once again.
Thanks! That worked perfectly. My point remains, though, I'd prefer to be able to turn it off without using a script.
