Too Many Announcement Threads

[Istar]

On your average 15" laptop screen, viewing in Chrome full screen at normal text zoom size, the YY banner heading + PHP controls + five announcement threads leaves precisely 2 actual threads of the selected topic area visible.

IMHO 5 announcement threads is 4 too many. It's being abused to bring other area-topics to the attention of people who don't go to those areas, and it's just hogging screen real-estate.

I am generally sypathetic to this concern, however I have typically gone the "get a higher resolution screen" route on desktops myself.

I do have a laptop, and it doesn't show much on its screen, I will probably end up getting something with a higher resolution screen myself when I can afford it.

UHD on the other hand is wonderful, I'm seeing 15 threads below the banners and whatnot.

Wow, that was quick, two announcements gone.

A couple got forgotten about. Sorted now.

Clicking on 'view active topics' will make your life considerably less stressful.

Bump.

Creeping announcement growth again.

I hear there's an amazing new technology called 'scrolling'.

Try it, it'll change your life.
