The dreaded black bar on HN .. :( RIP

I had no idea that was what that meant! When I occasionally see it I just assumed someone screwed up the CSS and then they just fix it later.

Today I learned. Might be a nice thing to make something a little more prominent.

I think the black bar should be a little bit larger, and a click on it should lead to the reason for the black bar.

If you inspect it you will see that it is actually a <tr> by itself.

The first few time I saw it I thought it was a bug too, until I inspect it and saw a correlation.

I would have given it a class name of "black_bar_because_someone_important_has_died", for the people whose first reflex when they don't understand something is "Inspect Element."

Or use a title attribute, which is what they're there for

Yeah, didn't know until now what the black bar meant

A firm reminder that we have a certain amount of time to get our work done.

While still finding time for leisure and time with loved ones.

Always remember this is WHAT we work for, don't neglect your own life.

Work to live, not live to work.

Work for whatever you want to live for, live for whatever you want to live for. If someone chooses to live to work, bully for them.

I know you weren't being a jerk, so on some level my response is unfair, but I think that a life of service is underrated.

I'm really surprised this was down voted.
