Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

To max or unmax?
Can someone help me on this? When does one max or unmax a lens? What are the advantages of unmaxing a lens?

There are Guestbook comments on why others prefer having their lenses unmaxed.
I keep mine maxed. I just like them that way.

Thanks for the great info! I've another question for Squidoo: Does Squidoo prefer a lens to be maxed or unmaxed? Is whether a lens is maxed or unmaxed a criterion for payment?

They'd prefer it to be maxed.
On the other hand, while there was talk that maxed lenses get a bigger share of the co-op payments I don't think that it has been the case.

Re: To max or unmax?
maxed is ugly and boxy and unmaxed less so...there you have my reason to unmax....your opinion may differ.

Re: To max or unmax?
My opinion is the opposite of KilnGoddess' I find the maxed lens layout more attractive (I think the unmaxed lenses have way too much white space, makes things look bare). I especially love the blue table of contents for the max layout, the TOC module gets too long and really isn't attractive.

Since HQ changed to the new layout, it's Max all the way baby.
No looking back. Beautiful!

Re: To max or unmax?
Personally, I'd never unmax any lenses. I think they look a lot better maxed. (OMG! I'm actually agreeing with Cinetech?!) =P
