So, how does one get rid of the persistent header which is a total waste of screen real estate? !!!!!!!!!!!
You must be new here, since you don't know how things are working here ;-)
You should just suck it up! And shut up!

You are not suppose to question authorities here!
You should like every new 'improvement'!

If you don't, you are risking:

- to hurt the feelings of thin skinned authorities
- to be banned
- to be censured

Monkey is on the record to demand from users to stop asking for reasonable option after change that many didn't like. Users were denied to get an option to (just who wanted) switch back. Not just this, they were meet with angry response in the spirit: stop with your requests!

I'm surprised and shocked how blunt you are with your demands.
I' speechless... How dare you!?!

Speaking of "persistent" ...

1) Turn off that annoying audio icon in your favorite browser
2) Open up SI under a different browser
3) Prepare to be annoyed

Apparently, it's a COOKIE.

Which explains why it's not in a member's "Settings".

Which means that anybody who judiciously cleans up their cache from time to time will be "rewarded" with the annoying audio blips the next time he logs into his favorite browser.

Or, anytime you logon to a system at the public library, all those annoying audio blips will bug the people at the station next to yours.

Seems to me this wasn't thought through very well.

But, let's not get too negative.

Let's discuss the positive aspects.

Uh ...

Hmmmm ...

OK, you go first.

Sure is a pretty day.

And can I add that if the persistent header is just flat out one of those non-negotiable, accept-it-or-go-find-some-other-message-board features, can they at least have the dignity to make it an opaque header so it doesn't have that "it's-the-mid-90's-and-we're-still-learning-how-to-web" look?

I mean seriously, who looks at this and says, "this is how I want my website to look"?
