I'd like to hear discussion (both before and after) anyway -- because it's apparent not everyone is thinking of precisely the same things.

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?

It's always been that way, and it's deliberate.

Huh. I guess it really was time to get these new glasses.
