Cool! Today's Google Doodle is for Dr. Penfield. He's got a Canadian Heritage video and I used to drive by Dr. Penfield Ave. in Montreal. - Mop Jan 26, 07:59 1

Surprising absolutely no one Trump has been booed at Davos for slagging the media and peddling his 'fake news' bs. -- nm - Diva Jan 26, 07:54 1

Could folks suffering from that chrome underline issue post some screenshots please? I’m unclear on what the issue is. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 26, 07:51 11
- I'm actually already getting used to it. -- (pic) - Ender Jan 26, 07:58 [Attachment] 8
  - Here’s how it looks to me, on mobile Safari. -- (pic) - Beryllium Jan 26, 08:01 [Attachment]
  - wait, is the issue that all of the posts are underlined? It hasn't always been that way? - ty97 Jan 26, 07:59 6
    - No, it's that the underline is interrupted by things like "," and "g" and "y" and "()". -- nm - Ender Jan 26, 08:01
    - the issue is that in the new ver. of chrome, they break the underline when a character drops below that line like with 'gggg' -- nm - decline Jan 26, 08:00 4
      - ahh, okay. I do NOT have that issue -- nm - ty97 Jan 26, 08:02
      - Of course, technically it's a feature not an issue. Chrome didn't just accidentally do that. -- nm - Ender Jan 26, 08:01 2
        
        true, feature for some, issue I guess for those who dislike it -- nm - decline Jan 26, 08:04 1
        
        In general I'd say internet trends are moving away from using the underline except maybe on hover, and even then most are going with a color change. -- nm - Ender Jan 26, 08:06
- I use Chrome but not sure what you are referring to? Maybe I don't have the issue? -- nm - ty97 Jan 26, 07:52 1

  - for one - the visual perspective as Tony walks down the street during 'Maria' is totally cheesy and fake looking. -- nm - Diva Jan 26, 07:03 12
