Default Huge Sticky Font

I like it! It actually catches my eye now...hopefully, it will attract other people's attention as well.

pop up will say "are you sure you want to post this?" (yes) (no)

then "if you havent searched, and we find a topic(s) about this you will be banhammered"

Sadly, I still think some people will not even pay attention to them. It grabs my attention, which is a good sign. I just hope some don't complain about them being to big. I do like the flashing sticky though.

I'll drop the font back to a more reasonable size in a couple days -- but this will definitely get people to go "oh wow, I never knew there were sticky threads up there."

it cracked me up, that's for sure. i thought the font on my computer changed for a sec.
i'd honestly just leave it, it SHOULD help with the new people too... just as much as it does with the ones that have been around forever and don't pay attention.

I about fell out of my chair when I saw the FAQ sticky flashing at the top of the page. lol Sure as the world someone still won't read it. I bet instead we get a thread titled, "What's wrong with tech? Things are blinkin' on and off."
