Thanks, Marty!

The reason the stars (squares) didn't match in all cases with the titles had to do with settings. So, I went behind the curtain and changed some things. Some of you got a demotion and some of you got a promotion, if you want to look at it like that. Anyway, everyone should be seeing stars or boxes that are equivalent to your post count unless you have a lower than 10,000 post count and have a moderator or FAB position on the forum, in which case you have a number of stars or boxes equivalent to your status as FAB member or moderator.

LOL...yeah I just saw Bondo's. That Kristen Stewart as Jean Seberg just catches the eye. Thanks for the explanation.

The forum look changed a couple years back but most of us fear change and put the look back to classic look. At least that's what I did. New users probably just use the new look.

When Bandit, my cat, is hiding under a table or in a box and he decides he wants “to play” and his eyes are big and solid black like Evil Willow from BTVS.

When someone posts a webpage with a recipe on it and puts the actual recipe waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy down at the bottom after indulging in overuse of imagery of the dish you want to make.

Going to the “Print” page of the recipe seems to be the trick to avoid all that.

Most recipes I find aren't worth the effort to just print. I want to scan quickly and if it has potential, I want the ingredient list. 90% of the recipes I find need to be tweaked a bit. Making me scroll past endless bullshit drives me crazy.

I wasn’t suggesting you actually print out the recipe. Rather, many recipe sites have a “Print” version of the recipe which gives you the ingredient list and the directions without all the surrounding stuff that peeves you.

edit: For a random example, compare this with this.
