what do you guys think of having an option to change the look and feel of OzBargain to a safe-for-work of feel?
coz i dont want to look unproductive at work
i know that this is the "ozbargain brand"
but for the users who want to just browse all day at work… i think would be helpful…
like plain colours, no bold logos and images etc
use an addin to hide the images,
eg 'work safe mode': http://dev.toyrobotworkshop.com/decreasedProductivity/ for FF
or https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/decreased-producti… for chrome
(i'm sure there will be many more like these)
yeh i knew some add-ins could do that. but yeh thanks
haha yeh i often have to scroll down to hide the top too …. or a more obvious alt+tab >.<
Take a look at Clearly if you use Chrome:

Use the RSS feed/s:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/feed
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/cat/travel/feed
You can view these in the browser but your email client can probably also display the items in a feed.
For example I use MS Outlook and it just appears like new email messages in a folder which you can click on in the left margin.
Just right click on the RSS Feeds folder and click "Add a New RSS Feed…"
Browse OzBargain with a text mode browser. I use w3m myself sometimes:

Make your boss think that you are coding hard on the text terminal.
Not as fast, but there are also online services:

Make your boss think you are reading documentation.

Or, Lynx! Does the same thing.
You could tell your boss you don't deserve a job and surf from home?
just because I browse Ozbargain at work doesnt mean i dont deserve at job
coz i dont want to look unproductive at work
users who want to just browse all day at work
Doesn't sound like work.
dont want to look unproductive because im not
i can browse all day at work and still deliver
Well then your manager should be very supportive of your ability to multi task.
agree, but i still dont want to LOOK unproductive
Maybe incorporate in excel toolbars and spreadsheet backgrounds?
