See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Great voting utility! Minor note: When you vote, the acknowledgement reads "Your vote has been recored" (sic)

While I'm at it, some other minor notes:

  • It would be nice if one could change their vote after voting.

  • I think the in-thread menu bar (First Previous Next Last Recent) should be left justified rather than centered as it is now. None of the other toolbars are centered, so I find it to be jarring.

  • In the Admin Threads area, is it possible to move threads that have been closed for more than X years over to some other area? As it stands, the list of threads is a bit overwhelming. It's not as though anyone will ever need to maintain a Natter thread that's already been replaced 10 times.

  • In conclusion, great work, Gud!

Gud, I've never been able to get login to work over there--any troubleshooting advice?

Are you trying to use your current credentials or creating an account from scratch?

Thanks, Jon.

Allowing someone to change a vote seems like a discussion. The idea was that you only get to see the tally once your vote was locked in. However, I think it's worth a debate on how voting should work. Maybe you should be able to change your vote and not see the tally. Maybe the tally should never be hidden, etc...

Having a section for recent or open threads is a good idea. It might be a post release feature though.

BTW, I made a mistake in the repository so I have it closed off for right now. When I get a chance I'll clean things up and re-open things.

Hadn't thought of it that way. I was thinking more of if the user makes a mistake. In that case, at least include a confirmation step. i.e. You click on the yes or no, and then there's a screen or pop-up that displays how you voted with a Confirm button.

Oh okay. Yeah, a confirmation is a good idea.

I just realized I was failing to take into account case sensitivity. Nevermind... D'OH.

That said, while I did get to the change password order, once I go to log in, nothing happens. Is that disabled right now?
