Why don't you tell us how you really feel. I agree that it can be annoying, but it keeps it free :)

Your contribution as a single member on the forum would not be enough to sustain the running fees for the site, hence they need to generate revenue from other streams. It was discussed on another thread a while back (http://thesandtrap.com/forum/thread/47080/is-any-one-else-digging-the-new-cartoony-background) and while it's annoying it's also understandable the reason why it's done.

As a long time web guy, I thought it was pretty smart.  As a user I was annoyed at first but it took no time to get used to it.

The clickable area is very small. I don't click outside of the "forum body" so I'm not taken to the sponsor's site.

We have costs we need to cover and we'd like to keep the site entirely free. You can become a supporter and your $39 will go a long way. And the "site skin" continues to promote a good thing - have you entered to win the contest?

Thank you for being mature about it. As you know, you joined when the site skin was active. :-P

As I said above, it'll run two weeks out of every month for a few months. Shotly's a good site - I really encourage everyone to check it out.

I dont mind the background at all anymore, took a bit getting use to but it is fine now.

The only thing that has been bugging me lately is that the link cursor is always active on your page even when not hovering over a link.

Example: HandLink.gif



Is it doing that for anyone else?  Not really a big deal but it bothers me for some reason.

Yep. I'd call it a browser bug, and it kind of is... since the background is "clickable" a good browser should notice you're not really over the background. I think they might be able to change the z-index of a few things but I don't know if that'd fix it.

Noooooo. Plain vanilla please.

Erik, is it possible to also enable full-width display of the New Posts screen for supporters?

      Bryson got hit with a 2 shot penalty, after the round, for improving his lie on hole 5.  Here is a post on X, showing how he stepped on high grass when he was looking down his target line.  When they cut to the side shot, you can see how close he was behind the ball.  I think the R&A probably made the correct decision. You just have to be really careful when you are walking in the high grass, around the ball and where you are to make a swing.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.

      "Force Precedes Motion" and Flawed Physics in a TPI Video

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
