Strange, I've tested it and it appears to be working in firefox, opera & iron. Maybe you've got some obscure setting disabled somewhere?

@deb: all my PMs are intact.

Farlukar, would be cool if your Stylish script could offer a few colors for the links. Green is naaaaaw.

Looks like Ben has been working on some CSS changes, so I have updated the Dark Blue Theme.

And how is this going to hurt kvr, if they analyze IP addresses (please don't tell me this is NOT spying) and see kvr is not complicit with the fake clicks? And if it really does hurt kvr, they fully desereve it, IMO, because they allow such 1 pixel ads and IP scanning, which ultimately hurts their users, plus show too many ads.

What am I getting wrong here!!!

I'm not sure what you are getting excited about.

It looks like KVR ads are coming through a Google AdSense channel. As you probably know, Google makes billions from web advertising. If there were no fraud detection, anyone could set up a crappy webpage and write a script to click the ads themselves millions of times a day and get rich. Obviously Google needs to detect click fraud otherwise they would go out of business.

I don't understand why you consider a 1 pixel ad fraud. It would just appear as a blank ad and wouldn't bother anyone.

How would a script clicking on ads hurt KVR? If someone had a script clicking ads for 2 days, it is possible Google might not pay for all clicks during that period, even the legitimate clicks. Of course, their algorithms would probably consider IP addresses to separate the real and fake clicks.

Note that your IP address is sent to every single website you visit. It's part of the web protocol. Your IP address reveals a general geographic location, not your identity. If people knowing your IP address makes you nervous, you could use a proxy service.

All of mine are gone too. Hopefully companies didn't lose customer PMs.

Are you sure? Did you click at the envelope with the tool tip "Private Messages", NOT at the envelope with the tool tip "My KVR messages"?

I still have ALL my PM's when I click at the right envelope sign (with the tool tip "Private Messages")...

Oops, wrong envelope. My PMs are still there.

This could be considered another web design issue. To identical icons next to each other with different functions. It's easy to get them mixed up.

I think with "KVR messages" they intend to send messages to certain groups of users (informations about updates or new products), so it's a different system...

But at least they could have made an envelope with a special symbol on it or in a different color...

Why did they change the way the "reply" screen looks? All that white is really bright. Is it temporary?

Plus point of the latest update is that "Topics / Mark all read" is back where it should be (so my Stylish script gets the last block removed).

I think the background blue is pretty, but when I switch back to grey (using stylish) the page becomes instantly more readable and less glaring. I think it's a contrast thing.
