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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
nebbermind. I found it in an email I got when I first created the list....

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If you're looking for testers now, I'll volunteer.

I've updated the requests list (again), taking into account the priorities and ideas that have been put forward. Nothing's gone, it's just in a new order. The two requests ita and Dana agreed were unneeded has gone all the way to the very bottom; new requests are at the top.
New input welcome.

move out and draw fire
Questions on some of ita's questions:
- Searching user list by e-mail address - It would be kind of handy to have a user list that included e-mail addresses, but I'm not fully sure how I feel about it. Anyway, does this line item mean that I could know an e-mail address and use it to find a screen name? Or find real-world info? Or what?
- Quickedits for tiny text, line break [BR], and links (we have tiny (coming up) and links. Do we need the line break? - Personally, I don't think so, but that's just my 2 drachmas
- Full-screen, large font compose box for impaired vision. (maybe a impaired vision style sheet?) - how would a user choose to use a stylesheet if one was created? If you go that route, a stylesheet that makes the board screen-reader compliant might be cool too.
Um, I'll volunteer to test stuff although I won't be back online until the 26th.

- # User set style: font, colour, etc (covers for visually impaired, dislike of fonts, size, and several others)
ita - you had this in your "Unneeded" list. I very much think it should stay on the list. It would solve a lot of issues.
I also like the idea of allowing a picture in the user profile.

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

I think having a set list of style sheets to choose from is a better way to go, honestly. Otherwise we're storing (potentially) a style sheet for every user. A set few -- no images, no white font, large, small -- that's manageable.
And then there's troubleshooting what other people have custom chosen for themselves. I feel a headache coming on.

I don't see the problem of storing a stylesheet for each user, but I see the troubleshooting headaches.
Rather than choosing among a set list of style sheets, maybe set up choices as a drop-down list for each element we want to allow control over?

I was about to suggest this. They do it that way at LiveJournal, at least at their simplest level of customization.

You know me and minimising storage.

Which choices do you see as configurable?

Which makes me think of all those journals I can't read, but the magic here is that I won't have to. Though I'm wondering if an admin might need the right, for troubleshooting, to assume someone else's ... nah, probably not.
