Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Changes made as suggested. The list now reads, in order from highest to lowest:

  • CVS repository
  • Move search out of beta
  • Shorten long URLs
  • Option not to show taglines
  • Tag closer
  • Ability to label bookmarks
  • ENUF filter
  • Searching user list by e-mail address
  • Threadsuck
  • Quickedits for tiny text,
t BR , and links
  • More tags:
t BLOCKQUOTE t TT t SUB t SUP t CENTER
  • User set style: font, colour, etc (covers for visually impaired, dislike of fonts, size, and several others)

There are more at the lower levels, but that's approximately the top 50% of the list.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That list looks great Am-Chau, except for one thing - Does anyone really think "Option not to show taglines" should be that high? I would put it at least below Threadsuck.

Hmm - has "allow pictures" definitely been added to the todo list (even if low priority)?

I thought there was pretty strong consensus not to have pictures on the thread pages, but to maybe allow a picture on a user's profile page.

Adding a radio button for "Search thread #__" will probably happen between beta and 1.0, with 2.0 having "Search current thread" or "Search [thread names dropbox]."

Are you coding this, Noumenon?

Is there a wish for a spellchecker for posts on that list somewhere? I am ne of the Buffistas worst spellers and would really love it!

So many ripostes, so little time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was thinking that if Sophia is one of our worst spellers, we're in really, really good shape on that score.

See-- I'm horrible! (actually more of a bad typist, but still....)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Spellchecker is a pretty complex request, as a heads up.

That's OK then-- I was just thinking of it because there was one at WX. There's probably only about 5 of us who can't spell anyway! Mine is actually complicated by the font size in the posting box. Can I up that in my browser prefs without also enlarging the Verdana that the board is in?

I can't spell either. I often paste the text into TextEdit to spell check it before I post.

Sophia, if you are using Mac OS X, Omniweb has a spelling check built into it. You might give it a try.

I don't think you can change the text size for entry boxes separately from the rest of the text.

No. Not yet, anyway. That would be part of the "user-defined stylesheet" project.
