'Objects In Space'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
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.
I just got a quote:
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's letting left. Best you get used to that. Mal, 'Ariel'
I think the word should be "getting" instead of "letting".
Hey! Is the Subscribe/Unsubscribe thing new? That's SO FUCKING HOT.
I just have to second this (or fourteenth it, or whatever).
Re: the conversation that's going on in Natter.
Perhaps we should enable caching for threadsucked pages.
I'va always maintained that we should enable caching for all the pages. However, if we can enable or disable caching for specific pages, how about we enable it for everything except the home page and the message center. I don't know if that's possible, but I think that would be the ideal solution. The complaints we had when we did try caching pages were about the home page and message center not updating.
Or we could make all links outside links ...
The problem that was discovered with caching would be less of one with threadsucked pages, because it's unlikely that one is going to threadsuck from the same post twice at different ages of the thread. But it should be noted in the cases where one does, we weren't able to find a caching mechanism that didn't require you to force a refresh the second time to see new content.
If we can find this caching that doesn't need forcing, I think we should implement it on all content.
The complaints we had when we did try caching pages were about the home page and message center not updating.
Which I think is a bigger detriment to usability than not caching, in my estimation.
