FYI,

so if you wanna save something do it today / tomorrow.

as mentioned, the Roll Call and Spontaneous Curation boards will move the Roll Call tab in the menu.

I realized that my Roll Call membership expired yesterday.  I went to renew it, but would love to not pay the extra $12 for shipping and handling for a tshirt that I already own.  Anyway around that CC??

Fully

I noticed that the "Ground Control Blows" thread has been scrubbed from the roll call site. :grin: or maybe it's just not showing up.

does anyone know how to contact ground control? I'm sure it's been posted somewhere but my search only brought me to this thread. I am moving back east end of the month and am concerned that my roll call stuff will get lost in the move. just updated mailing address on this site but want to make doubly sure they know the deal

I really have no sense of how "big" or "small" of an operation GrountCtrl is...I saw they had some reps at Nelsonville Music Festival.  I almost went over to chat, but didn't think anything productive would come of it.
We could.

Rarely go on the main site now that we got this lovely forum back, but was looking for info on past tour dates and it seems the banner is back to a glorious size and blocking most of the info I'm trying to read. I guess someone somewhere finds this pretty, because it sure isn't practical or functional. Just the fact that the banner means I have to scroll down to be able to view the drop down menu... I complained in the roll call forum, but not sure if anyone reads it. :cry:

Hey Sara.  I spoke to the powers that be at ground(ctrl) a few weeks ago, as the size of this social media scroll is absurd.  I was told it was a design change out of their control.  I also haven't heard back from management on another matter.  I fear the newest management team is less interested in our opinions, or perhaps just mine.  :wink:

Grndctrl's lack of attention to detail is beyond the pale. They need to be fucking fired.

No, no, no.  They say the expansion of the banner's real estate was a management decision, not a design change by ground(ctrl).  Anyone with eyes can see it doesn't work, never did.  BAN the BANNER!!!

To be fair, if one reduces the zoom size of the main page to 75% so that the article text is unreadable, the social media section shrinks enough so that all of the big scrolling image and part of the first headline can be seen. Solution!

Just absolutely awful design and execution. At 100% zoom, there are 50 pixels of totally unused space in that social section.

True! And you never know when you're gonna need those 50 pixels of unused space. Like when Jim fell off the stage, had he had a space in front of him the size of that banner, it never would have happened.
