Maybe a job for Chris?

I know people have moaned before on this but I’m just going to moan again…

I am in my new job now, which I like. The only downside is, that this site is a bit obvious due to the avatars, admittedly I’ve never had a problem with them till now but it's an open plan office, no freezing to death now

Chris would you be able to set up a function that could hide them, a button say, I’m sure other members would breath a sign of relief if they could hide them, oh the Locost builders banner is at tad big as well, a stealth option??

Ta.

That would rock - although my alt-tab skills have improved significantly since using this site it would be nice to make it look less blatent when i'm reading in the office.

In Internet Explorer:

tools - internet options - advanced

then scroll down about half way and untick the 'Show Pictures' checkbox

thats what I do when I'm at work!

Great idea. You can always minimize the view to say wallet size and reposition the view half off the screen to the left. Therefore covering the avatars

If you have that kind of IT department you can be sure they are logging your internet usage anyway, so be careful how much surfing you are doing.

Good to hear you got out of the last job unscathed.

THATS JUST TAKING THINGS TOO FAR !!!

At work i usually just have this site as a 5" square with "work" in the background and when anybody comes past i just click to the side and its gone Unless its an engineer walking past as i like to show them this site and what real engineering is like
