Dear AMG peoples: what has happened to the AMG biographies; please explain why they have inexplicably turned into webpagey- things overnight in really long columns since

...they're just so unreadable now. WHY did this happen ?

― Vic (Vic), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Because we hate you. (Real answer: because most up-to-date web browsers can handle it, from what I gather -- I was just as surprised as you when I noticed it, and there's a thread already on this in the archives.)

haha ok

― Vic (Vic), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 13:03 (twenty-two years ago)

but we still hate you, don't get us wrong.

Buy a Mac, download iCab as your browser and you will have no worries. Ever.

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

You should now have the option to either use the scrollbar or click 'expand' when reading bios.

iCab or Safari, I find (Job, does iCab notably improve on Safari in general?).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

It is much more customizable, I find.

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

It's crap now.

― Al Andalous, Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Is there a browser out there that makes Mac obsessives look less smug? :-)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

NCSA Mosiac.

Yup, it's called Serene Confidence.

I'd just like to note that AMG's old system of only giving you half the bio to start made no sense, and unless you're using a computer from like 1992, it works fine.

― David Allen, Wednesday, 23 July 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

So wait: the scrunched up version I get at home on my Mac is just the way it is? Or can I do something about it? Because the way it looks on my PC is totally different. I have OS 9.2 on the Mac, but my browser isn't, like, ancient or anything...

As for us being smug: Pah!

So if you wanted to look at the albums listing for the Beatles, you wouldn't mind scrolling the page all the way down -- past a couple thousand words of text -- to get to it?

― Andy K (Andy K), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Agreed.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

That expand bio feature is a lifesaver. Thanks AMG.

― David A. (Davant), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Now if they could only expand it to their movie site...

― Charles McCain (Charles McCain), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)
