GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Wednesday, Oct 1, 2008

Like many others here, I have watched many changes occur here at TV.com~Tome. Usually a minor change resulted in the site crashing for days, sometimes weeks. Yet, I am still here. Maybe not as much due to time constraints, but still here. Why? Well, because of the friends. I have met and enjoyed lots of friendly banter that occasionally steers towards our love of television. *kisses her TV* "I love you TV!"

Anyhoos, here is my list that I hope someone,somewhere notices.

1) Darker font!!!

Helloooooo, I have aged retinas. Someone coming here for info on the Phil Silvers Show will not be able to read it because of the glaring white and grey font. At least give us an option like Gamespot does.

2) Block User buttons.

This is the only site that I use that does not offer this option. We can block someone in their PM but not from our comments in the blogs. This is a personal issue for me but one that I am sure others share. I can't be the only one who is made insane by trolls who don't get banned and are allowed to fill a comment box with their crap. *pops a Xanax*

3) Return the friends blogs to at least 8 with the titles.

I hate just seeing three. It seems so...few.

4) Could we have more than one show on the main page?

Not everyone watches The Hills, ya know? All of the flashing ads are slowing my computer down. I know it is unrealistic to expect no ads but the flashing ones are hard on older, slower computers.

5) Smileys in comments. (and spell checks)

I'm sad (insert sad smiley) that once again there are no smileys (insert eye rolling smiley) How can bloggers know humor or sarcasm without smileys??? Bad enough we can no longer post pictures or links in comments~ but no smileys??? That is the last straw. (insert grumpy,irritated smiley) And I reeeeally need the spell check back. (insert bad speller smiley)

So, there it is. Lets keep every digit crossed that the eerily MySpace looking CNet returns to some normalcy.

Peace All

If something about your relationship with your partner scares you or someone you know is a possible victim of abuse and you need to talk, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY). Or log on: National Domestic Violence Hotline. All it takes is one phone call to know you are not alone in this hidden issue.

Hi Kimba, I here ya and totally agree. I find that I'm getting headaches with the excessive WHITE background. I miss my smiley's too that's how I always ended my comments .

I like your #2 change, I haven't really had a reason to need such a button, but it would be good to have should the occassion arise. Your other choices are all good too.

I sign all your 5 demands! Darn white and grey... and the heck with the frontpage of the profile... no blogs from friends (or only a few) no spellcheck (bad for non english writers) and no smilies? are they kidding?

These updates without the input of the people who are the contributors are the best advertisement TV Rage and other alternative sites could receive.

Leaves are changing here, Kimba. Some are pretty and some are just brown. Apparently a Sugar Maple fungus exists that kills the pretty colors . I'm hardly blopping at TV.com due to the visual issues.

This place gives me a headache now. Excellent ideas!

Thanks so much for taking part in Blackout Day. I sincerely hope we don't need to take things any further. I've alerted the staff here to all our blogs and we'll see how it goes from here.

It seems the white skin is on almost everyone's list. I wonder how long it will take for them to address this?

In any event, my sincere thanks again. Please check my blogs in the coming days to see what response we get and where we go from here.

I am very touched by how many of us got together to fight for our community here on tv.com. Thanks again for being part of it!!

Also, and this is VERY important, please compare my latest blog to your friend's list, AND if you see anyone has missed leaving a comment on my blog about having their list done, please get them to do that, so they don't get missed by the staff, THANKS for the help with that.

Finally, it has been suggested by tuckgraph that my latest blog came off as a bit terse and like I was issuing orders. I sincerely apologize to anyone I gave that impression to. It is the furthest thing from my intent.

I have been trying to get to everyone's blogs, cover the issues in the ways requested by the staff to best get attention and action to our cause and I have never done anything like this before.

So if I seemed heavy-handed in any way, please forgive me. Thanks to tuckgraph for pointing it out.

I couldn't agree more. I just want to add that the white background is terrible too.

Hey Kimba, LTNS, I hope you are doing well. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments about the site. I really hate all this white...it's rough on the eyes. I hope TPTB plan some changes.
