I'm curious as to what the sheep post icons are about. I just got upgraded from Trek to Sheep a few posts ago, and I dunno if there was an actual post count milestone for that or if something else happened.

As a New Zealander I don't know whether to be outraged by the fact that other countries have sheep, or overjoyed at the fact that one day, if I forum very very hard, I too may have sheep in my profile.

Well, in my experience we get the brunt of the sheep-fucking jokes, so you can take that as a plus.  Unless New Zealanders also get those, but it seems less likely as the division in Britain fosters in-fighting of that level.

("Little boy, I don't know how to tell you this, but there's a man making love to the sheep in your field!"
"Oh, no worry, that's just me daa-aaaa-aaaa!")

At one point during my youth there was a tourism campaign inciting people to visit NZ with the tagline '65 million sheep can't be wrong.' At the point in time, the human population of NZ was 3.5 million.

We're down to 42 million sheep now, but still far, far outnumbered, and while we don't have the in-fighting of the UK, we do have Australia.

How would you inflate me? The correct answer is "balloonjuice".

 Do you:

Lower the rope to Roy and pull him out?
Throw him the rubber bathing ring in the shape of a sea-horse?
Look around for a stopcock, or some sort of Janitor who can turn off the water?
Wrap Roy Orbison in Clingfilm?

The correct answer is "Wrap Roy Orbison in Clingfilm!"

It took me way too long to think of this, but you see this post? This is not a classy post.

Couple more changes to that header thing. Expanded the smallest form breakpoint to a maximum of 450 pixels, adjusted the header logo (Pricedown was kind of a fucked up font choice there), and... some other stuff.

Two small but noticeable changes just made.

  • Changed the default font from the Arial stack to Droid Sans. I like it better, but I'm not completely sold. Open to suggestions if you got one. (Currently just wanna run with one global font, so it has to be versatile)
  • Page navigation is been made a lot bigger for mobile devices. That was a problem I had, so I was happy to get it addressed.

While I'm at it, if there's a specific bit of navigation that's bothering you on ballp.it, let me know. I'm just changing stuff as I notice it.

(oh, also locked topics are 40% opacity now.)

Droid Sans is good by me. Also thanks for the UI changes, I occasionally had issues on my phone (before the site was responsive I could zoom in, but this is a better solution by far).
