Am I the only one to find that the top of the site has vanished?

When I log on (via Firefox) the top left of the screen is my Home box, in the line of text: Home, Help, Profile, My Messages, Members, Logout. There is no banner, no cheery Tharg and Dredd.

What's happened?

And can we have Kroom-Skree back?

Kroom Skree! Now there's a blast of nostalgia! I don't even remember what it was, but I know that I miss it terribly.

yeah, I miss it. I can't scroll to the top and search for stuff any more.

It was part of the masthead in the very first official version of this website, which I co-designed. I just looked at the dates on my grabs and that was—gulp—over a decade ago. Man, I feel old.

PREPARE FOR NOSTALGIA, EARTHLETS!

Man, I loved the look of the old website with the Jock artwork across the top! Still mourn its passing.

I'm glad it's gone, now the fact I'm browsing the forum isn't advertised to anyone who walks past my office!

I, Cosh

Always wondered what Koom Skreee was all about. Regarding the banner, adblock has ensured I haven't seen anything up there since the Zenith hype started.
We never really die.

Ah, but when you clicked Koom-Skree - that's when the magic started.

Well, if you were nosy. It took you to the site stats.

The search function was an indispensable aid to us relative newbies. I could consult it and seek counsel on anything particularly where purchases were concerned.

The search function rarely seemed to deliver what I was looking for so I don't miss it that much.  If you're after a certain thread it seems to work better to include the search terms you would have used, along with '2000ADonline' and just Google it, e.g. '2000ADonline naughty bits'...

I do miss the header, though.  And koom skree.

You're forgetting the previous version with Tharg's roving eye, which is why all the medium res images on BARNEY are 281 pixels high.

Dan Dare will return for a new adventure soon, Earthlets!

The Enigmatic Dr X

Y'know, there's no easy way to go from the forum to the shop now.

Which I just tried to do. To give Rebellion some money. But instead I've moaned on an old thread and am now off to play Skyrim.

Take that Tharg. (But I'll be back tomorrow).
