'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I was looking at the "About this site" page, and I noticed that the credits include Michele T's, Tom W's, and Jesse's last names, which none of them use over here. Are you guys (Michele, Tom, and Jesse) comfortable with that?
Also, my name shouldn't have a space in it.
Good point, DX. I'm assuming they're not and I fixed it.
You da man!
I've been thinking about the requests/complaints about the posting font. I'm pretty sure I could write code that would allow a user to override that font with his/her own choice of face and size. I'd put two selection boxes in the Set Profile page (one for font face, the other for size). If they're filled in, There would be an extra couple lines of code at the top of every page that would redefine the default style. I should probably do the same for the fixed-width font style so that they stay consistant.
This would require adding a text field to the user class. Let's call it "css" or "custom_css". Length 255 would be sufficient.
ita - Is this a project I should take on? If so, can you add that field to the user array?
Before we start on anything, we should get a list of all outstanding requests, and stuff that's been partially implemented. I can say up front that I'm absolutely terrible at that sort of listkeeping. But right now we have competing code trees, and I'm way out of touch on what's considered priority.
Then we can get back into mods. And hopefully in a less ad hoc way, with actual releases or somesuch.
Sounds good. The only things I've got outstanding are the threadsuck utility and the list-userids-and-emails thingie. Are there others?
I think the ability to view 10000 posts at a time covers threadsucking, though I haven't tried it.

It's OK as a workaround, but it's not so user-friendly to do it that way. I've written some functions and designed some pages that will be much easier to use.
There are a whole lot of requests that people have made that I've completely forgotten to keep track of. I tend to prioritise by a) coolness to code or b) easiness to code, and that's no good.
I'm comfortable having my last name used, actually -- I keep saying I'm going to reverse-engineer wireframes (information design schematics) from the GIFs I did and put them in my portfolio...
