Buffistas Building a Better Board ++
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
There's also the quickedit defaults that didn't seem to be consistent with the current site. "b" should default to
"strong".
I know you disagreed, ita, but I think it's confusing to the user if the default for a "b" shows up as italic.
Also, the "]" indent doesn't seems to do anything.
The ] is parsed into
t blockquote
--I have no idea why that's not showing up onscreen.
As for what b parses to--like I said--I don't care enough to fight for it.
The ] is parsed into <blockquote> --I have no idea why that's not showing up onscreen.
I guess that's a bug, then?

Does not caring mean that you'll change it, or that you can't be bothered to change it?

A confusing one. I mean, the HTML has
t blockquote
and
t /blockquote
in it, and the tag isn't overriden by the CSS as far as I can tell.
As for the
t b
change--already made.
Note: I fixed a long piece of unbroken text in Jon's post #1338 that was giving me a horizontal scroll bar in Firefox.

Ha!
the blockquote thing is weird. I'll have to compare the b.org source vs. the css.b.net source and see if i can spot any meaningful differences.
ita -- I looked through the source code, and I have no idea why the blockquote tag isn't working on the css server. So I made a small change to the code. In the same way you grepped the ">" to be a cite tag, and then defined "cite" in the stylesheet, I made the "]" quickedit into a dfn tag and added it to the stylesheet.
It was a simple change, but let me know if I did anything stupid.
There's something weird going on in the Other Media thread. It looks as though there is an unclosed italics tag somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it. It starts here:

The thing is, DJ used the quick-edit for italics, not the <i> tag, so it should've closed. None of the other posts seem to have the tag. It's very mysterious.
eta: And Jon figured it out. It was in the next post's tag.
Yeah, it took me a bit to figure it out.

I have a question- are the geo mailing lists disabled? I just tried to send something out to somervillains@buffistas.org and got a bounceback:
