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.
To-do list
This may be a non-request -- or a request to add a charity-related link category.
I know. My point is that we might need to ask Allyson which of those it is.
I'm wondering which of the rest are still wanted/needed.
I hesistate to suggest this, but would it be worth sticking the remaining things on the list, or at least the technologically possible ones, into a Mr Poll type thing and asking people to tick boxes for everything they think should be done? That would be a democratic priority producer, and weed out any unneeded requests.

I'd like to hear discussion (both before and after) anyway -- because it's apparent not everyone is thinking of precisely the same things. I don't know if that means the poll will be adding anything.

Yeah, there are several cases where that's true.
I don't know if that means the poll will be adding anything.
I thought if it was offered to the whole community, it would make an easy "no votes, not doing it", where discussion tends to be seen as a 'bullshit consensus'. But we can work around that, and some discussion (as you say) needs to be had anyway.
Since I can't REALLY remember my problem with br, I think it is safe to let that one go....
Oh-- I remember. It always drives me batty to have to type the br HTML in lines of a list or a poem, because to a hard return doesn't cut it, and two hard returns make it double spaced. but I don't know that it is very important.
That's more a feature (well, a function), than a bug, and a holdover from TT/WX behaviour -- I'd rather not change it, for those reasons. It would start making the logic of quickedits really complicated (when is a return really a hard return?).
The other thing on my personal list is making it so if you mark a post or if you click on a link in a post, when you go back, you go back to the same spot and not the top of the page.
Huh. For some reason I thought we already did that, and ascribed the top-of-page behaviour to switching from IE to Firefox. It's the crack-smoking, I guess.
Some browsers already did that, brenda. The effects of the crack smoking may yet manifest, however.
JUST SAY NO.
Obviously I haven't marked a post in a while. Most of the time, for links, I just have them open in a new tab or window. It's the times I forget and then can't find who pointed to the butt bow dress or whatever, that I get confused. No big deal. Glad the marked and edited thing is the same.
The only other things I care about are labeling bookmarks, and I'd like to be able to "jump to" a particular date in a thread. The clarification on preferred charities would be nice. Though, I have my own preferred charities as I'm sure we all do.
It always drives me batty to have to type the br HTML in lines of a list or a poem,
I type it once and copy it to the clipboard, so I can insert it over and over by hitting Ctrl-V. I suppose giving brain space to that kind of trivial trick is why I never have any poems to post with it.
I'm seeing thread titles shifted most of the way to the right edge of the left-hand column. Screen shot here.
It's the same in IE 5.5, Mozilla 1.7, and Firefox 1.0
Is this new, or have I just never noticed before? Is it deliberate or accidental?
