Go to dirtysheeplovin . com , right click, select make home page. That should look like you had it before |
Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

My hook up ratio increased drastically once I got the velcro gloves, no way they escape now.

You should try putting big boots on them and standing them on the edge of a cliff so they back up into you.

These companies are in constant "beta" mode with their websites. ABCNews.com is one of the biggest offenders. They change the format of their website routinely... no warning. At least ESPN/etc. give you "previews" and stuff. SI.com just changed their mobile the other day... I HATE it...
Gotta love Web2.0

But how come it didn't change on my home computer which runs windows 7 64 bit with Firefox? It's the same thing as my work set up but only my work set up has changed. |

Thats a good question... something caught up in the cache? Firefox upgrade?
A number of sites have different code sets for different browsers. Some browsers (even version releases) may not support current web standards, causing the website to display differently based on the capability of the browser you are using. Are you running the same revision of Firefox on both machines? |

In Firefox just go to help --> about firefox
Record the number in that about box... that will give you the number. Mine is 15.0.1... if the two numbers match at both computers, you know something else is fishy... If they don't match, try upgrading the older one

I tried to simulate the same problem with no luck. You can try to delete cookies and see if it corrects the display

Its the new Yahoo home page. They'll be rolling it out slowly and I don't think changing your browser, deleting cookies, or doing a voodoo dance will change it back. Marissa Mayer's New Yahoo.com Homepage - Business Insider |

I used to use ABC's news site exclusively. Then they up and changed with no notice to a format that blows (have since changed 3 more times in 3 years) so I no longer use their site... It sucks...

Because high heels on them get stuck in the dirt. Boots get them at the right height.  |

Interesting, it's doesn't make a lot of sense but who am I to argue with the gritty wisdom that comes from tried and true experience.

They can't run away with 4 big clunky boots on. It's sheep loving basics. I have seen many threads go in many directions but where this one went takes the cake. I'm glad I know a bunch of whack jobs. |

As I already posted. Picture a sheep trying to run with boots on (not happening)
