The number 1 annoying thing is that its size is just about right to cover up your user name. It used to float by default in that area so some were never quite sure if they were logged on.

For us OG internet tablet Talk members who were directed to join maemo.org (note lower case "m", GA ) by veterans it was quite frustrating. It also reinforced the mistaken notion by itT forum members that maemo.org was a sacred society and there was some sort of secret handshake needed in order to get in.
Some veteran maemo.org members also must have thought that anybody originally from itT was pro'ly some sort of lower life form because their simple instruction to just click on your user name (hidden by the AFB) was so hard to understand.

This lead to some spirited discussion on these forums, some misguided posts, some mis-directed aggression, and the Sheldon-esque, SMOMR (standard maemo.org member response ) "Feel free to recommend the changes when you log-on." < face plant >

Ah, good times...
