Dump the Wiki or Move IT to the bottom of the screen!

OK - I'll admit right up front, I'm no big fan of Wiki - anything. Just don't care for the "anyone can edit" format.

So I have prejudice already...BUT do we really need to have 1/4 of the forum landing page showing the top 5 Wiki editors?

Comeon - move it to the bottom of the screen so's we don't have to scroll to get to what we're on the forum for...to participate in the forum.

re: Dump the Wiki or Move IT to the bottom of the screen!

Thanks for the input, it's a new banner I'm trying out. "Recognition" is a known positive wikipattern, so my thinking is that a "Top 5" banner would be a good way to recognize the contributions of the top wiki guys.

I can condense it a little, maybe make the font size smaller and use less whitespace. How about that as a compromise?

Or, if you guys have specific constructive criticism (ie: a suggestion for a new banner), let me hear it, and we'll go from there.

re: Dump the Wiki or Move IT to the bottom of the screen!

The WIKI is a condenced version of the HR Bullitin Board.
Instead of having to seach throught pages of threads the info is there.

Just one of the things that makes HR.com #1

AND..

Just like any post on the HR BB don't beleive everything you read.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WOW just like Present Day America one person complains change the whole operation.

Nuthing personal just my Two Cents worth.

Thanks. I've condensed it by stripping two line breaks. Should be good to go now.
