Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Or in the case of software it's 'You don't' as all the options and customization no longer exist
Few things piss me off more than software removing options because it'll confuse users. Just hide them away in an advanced options submenu. Hell, even put up a warning that messing with em isn't supported, or let me modify a config file, but leave them in there somehow.
They remove (relatively) unused options because it takes time and money to maintain them and they're always a source of potential bug reports. My least favorite example of this is all my music apps getting rid of list views (text-based rows where you can see 15-20 options on the screen at a time) in favor of thumbnail views where you only see a couple of options at a time.
how is it easier to maintain a list of thumbnails than a text list?
Its not, its probably relatively the same once the app is all slapped together. What's harder is maintaining both instead of just the popular one.
