OK, I thought that was just my computer. Now at least i know I am not going crazy. No explanation...but at least you arent alone.

Stuff is being juggled around. In general, tech people are more internet savvy and can find the "news" link in the nav bar along the top. There are a few people looking for deals who apparently cannot. Heck, I've had to explain at least 300 times about the "search deals" box along the right side of the deals page. We're trying to optimize. :)

My roommate told his friend to go to www.gotapex.com and to look for the deals page. Well, she went to G|A? and apparently COULD NOT NAVIGATE to the deals page. :shrug: It's a mystery to me.

When the site format was changed (Was it a year ago?),the thing that stood out the most was the small type at the top with the black on blue background. On some computers, it is very hard to find, much less to read. Maybe that has been the problem all along?

I don't think it's a question of internet saviness or not. It's all due to reefer. And people want to leaglize that crap.

Could somebody please help me....

How do I get to the News page from the Deals page. I'm all lost since the change. Also, how do I get out of this room -- the door is closed.

Another example of the dumbing-down of America. I guess it just goes to show that computer users aren't necessarily smarter than the general population.

And to be fair here, the deals page makes the ching. Me, I cost them money, especially in lawyer fees and sexual harrassment suits.

Who's with me? :umm:

If the sexual harassment suits are costing you money, you need a better lawyer!!! A good lawyer would tell you all sorts of ways to get around future sexual harassment suits by certain legal means. If you were really good, then you wouldnt be costing them money with the sexual harassment suits but rather making them some money as the local Got|Apex Gigglo! :D

He got busy, and bizzy, over the summer, but someday he might be back.

Many years ago I came here and didn't care about the news, I checked the Deals at 5 AM 9 AM and throughout the day... When the great deals sluffed off I began to appreciate LPM and the tech news occasionally his wit.

Well this morning it was well yea... you saw.

Since I met Apex, I realize it is important to put the cash creation forward, but how about a compromise...

Directed to THE CORP:
Can we have an A record... so when I type gotapex.com and news.gotapex.com it goes to News...

and when I type www.gotapex.com and deals.gotapex.com it goes to deals. Oh forums.gotapex.com would be cool too... I know this is not the intention of the DNS system, but it is proven and I would like to see it.
