wasting my life apparently.
I'm not much of a reader so it takes some doing to get me going on a book let alone a series. I read a few of the Ender books in high school but never finished them (I think i actually stopped halfway through one of them). Perhaps I'll pick those back up when i'm done with Dune before my reading impetus fades.

Added a "delete avatar" button to the "edit your account" page so you can clean out your avatar list if you want. It doesn't actually delete the file it just removes the entry from the database table.. I can't seem to let go of any of the funny little pictures that have been submitted :)

I would like to see a feature where you can see a listing of all your own posts (sorry if this has been suggested already; I didn't really look).

how about making the main frame scroll without loosing the side menu bar or adding links at the bottom of the page? i realized i'm always scrolling back up to hit the 'home' link.

did the scrolly thing. we'll see how everybody likes it :)
edit: looks like the "main content scrollbars" introduce some interesting (and unwanted) side effects so it'll take some tweaking but meanwhile please offer any feedback on the feature itself not the nasty side effects :)
double edit: if you dont see the scrolly difference hit F5 to refresh your cached CSS

i disagree. i do less mousing since i don't have to scroll back up to the top of the page to hit the home link.

I still have to use the mouse as my paging keys seem to remain attached to the outer frame.

Most of my complaints probably fall under the "side effects" category but I'm going to list them anyways for posterity and discussion.
It'd be significantly better if the contents fit horizontally (in ie7 almost every page has a horizontal scrollbar probably to accommodate the space that the vertical scrollbar takes up). For the most part post text fits fine but pictures and other content that are wider than the main content column are very frustrating to view. I'd rather hit the home key to jump to the top of the page than have to deal with scrolling the horizontal scrollbar back and fourth. (With internal scrollbars focus must be within the div for key events like home or end to register which makes me sad.) Before you added scrolling content could just overflow into the margin which worked better.
The height of the outer box should resize to fit the current height of the browser. Not only is there a lot of wasted real estate but with the fixed height if the browser is too small you end up with double scrollbars.
I hate sites that have toolbars or advertizements that move when you scroll. Whether they move as you scroll or they gradually float down either way it's too visually distracting so I don't suggesting you go that route. However I'm pretty sure you set the header and left column to float at a specifical location. This way you can still use the browser's scroll bar but the home button is always there. You just have to make the main content page start below the header and to the right of the left column but not floating. The z-order of the header would be set so it's above the main content but of course you'd be able to see the content scroll up past the top of the header so you'd have to deal with that issue. I think you might run into cross-browser support issues when you try to get the layout to display correctly but it could be an alternative to the internal scrollbars.
