Can I just say...and I hope it's not against any rules...the red/blue squares to indicate video/tweets is f'ing brilliant ! [View all]

I just learned about them during a recent conversation about too many/not enough videos. Somewhere in that thread, I think it was EarlG highlighted this capability so I thought, what the heck, I don’t think I really care about this feature but I’ll turn it on anyway. How bad can it be?

Whoa…last time I felt like this was when we replaced our old b&w TV with a color TV. OMG - the whole world opened up. I’d spent my entire life thinking Mr. Ed was a grey mare (ok gelding/stallion) and wondering why they called Old Yeller a “golden” retriever since he too was just grey.

Ok, maybe that’s an overstatement but seriously, those little red/blue boxes have made my scans of the latest page much more efficient…so much so that I now have time on my break to rave about them while I wonder what was life like before the boxes.

Thank you.




On edit: To get the same joy/thrill/efficiency I enjoy, go up to “My DU”, then “Account Settings”. All the way at the bottom are two options (one for videos, one for tweets)…those should be marked “yes”. Didn’t realize I should have probably mentioned this in the OP.
