Not hating but i agree. The whole side sticking out and viewing on my iPad makes the messages in topics feel almost "lopsided". Maybe it'll take some getting used to. Again i really appreciate the effort guys! |

| That's the perfect header for Halloween season (or any season, to be totally honest with you), even though I'm not doing anything Jurassic Park/World related this year (I was Claire last year, and am planning to dress up as Ellie from the original next year to commemorate the 25th anniversary).

Will update it so it looks more uniform. Nice. It feels like we now have TWO second comings of JPL at once via this site and Jurassic Pedia, Ty's newest site. That and given how we now have over 400 members and how that will only increase once the movie gets coming closer and closer, things are really looking up. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

| Another update (get used to these, its the season for change as the JWFK hype train builds): Thread pages now only list 25 posts per page, rather than the old count of 45. The 45 post-count tended to lead to thread pages that would take far too long to scroll around in, especially when videos and images were involved. This won't have too much of an effect on the site aside from there being more pages in threads in total than there used to be.
Keep in mind: if you have any questions, complaints, or concerns regarding forum changes and updates, you are always free to leave threads and comments in the Help Desk section of the forums (the one right below this one)! _______________ Welcome to Jurassic Mainframe.

Sweet, thanks! Can you guys consider maybe making it something we can see beside our name in the future? I think that might be really cool. |

 Although I’d still like a way to display my intense Dilophosaurus pride in some fashion. Perhaps I’ll change my picture. We appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing. |
