I've in coded some "improvements" to our news system. You know how long news items (esports) have had a little "read full item" thingie? Instead of shooting you over to the comments page, the text will now expand out (ala XSReality) and you can read everything on the main page. This means if you want to stay away from comments, you can now do so. (If you have disabled JavaScript, you will be forwarded to the comments page, however).
You can test the feature right below, where I talk about the change in ignored news categories. (Please tell me if your browser is incompatible with the new code by posting in the comments or e-mailing me at rze@counter-strike.net with a screenshot of the problem).[break]There you go!
Since I added this JavaScript I decided to use the same code for ignored news items (you can ignore news items on your preferences page). Ignored news categories will now be visible on the site. The ignored items are always put at the bottom of the day's news and their text is hidden until you opt to read it. Their headline, on the right, is a point smaller in font size. Before, the items wouldn't even be fetched from the database. I changed our system of handling ignored categories for three reasons:
By the way: if you don't care about esports, do not click on "read ignored item" for the predictions items. They're about fourteen pages long!

- you might be interested in some of the category's news, even if you thought you would never be.
- you might have forgotten that you have ignored some categories. since we don't display this information anywhere on the site besides your preferences page, you might not have noticed.
- i want to give exposure to some of our excellent news that you might have ignored due to bias or experiences from other sites.
