The stars to tell you if a poster is online have disappeared altogether in the latest "improvement" to the boards. Is this a deliberate policy to further destroy the sense of community in ML or just yet another cock-up?

The Archduke Vintneres Driver: the stars haven't actually been working reliably for ages, so it seems to me to make some sense to remove them.

Yes, I have complained about their unreliability, many times, in the vain hope that they would fix the problem. This wasn't the sort of fix I had in mind.
Whilst I'm here, Tayler, could you please also pass on my compliments to the chef at him/her losing the facility to see to whom one is replying.

Thanks Tayler.
Some good news for a change. If you fall foul of the auto-mod you can now repost as soon as you've edited your post, instead of having to spend 3 minutes in chokey at the flea's pleasure. Please pass on my thanks to the tech team for removing this irritation.

Thank you for getting our stars back, Tayler. It's amazing how much more alive they make the board feel. It was like posting into a vacuum without them.

Now you've done the stars, can you sort out the poxy layout so that a post containing a link in the first line doesn't hide behind the completely useless Recent Discussions part of the front page, making it impossible to go to the last message?Â
The way I do it is to use the Script which obliterates all the useless features but I realise that doesn't help anyone with a benighted employer that thinks IE is a good browser that will keep them safe from hackers.

I have a benighted bluddy employer. Grrrr!
If you have a memory stick of your own then you could install Firefox portable on it and run it from there.
That also has the advantage that you can carry your browser - complete with history, bookmarks (and any script settings) with you wherever you go and use it in any (suitable) machine.
