Actually, now that you mention it, I've just noticed it on mine too :)
It isn't anything to do with the change; must just be Firefox's rendering. Maybe there's a way to force it, but I doubt it.

Ah! That got it. Quit/restarted Firefox. Thanks!

Let me try circles, Stan - that might be better.
― Keith, Sunday, 2 August 2009 20:30 (fourteen years ago) link
Much better, thanks!

Probably is, isn't it. It's all a bit annoying as they're bigger on FFox than they are on Safari, but not a lot I can do, I guess.

My only suggestion is to keep up the good work. I love ILX, because it only changes for the better. None of the "we're changing everything cuz we have to do something with all the designers we hired" that seems to infect other sites. All the gloss is subtle, and in the name of usability. I'm posting from Zing, so I guess my only suggestions would be to polish up Zing, and make Windows/iPhone versions. You guys rock!

Jay, you can kind of do this now, though it's certainly not obvious... If you use the text search, and enter something like:
radiohead AND displayName:"Ned Raggett"
It should work - remember to change to posts (if that's what you're looking for).

hahahaha. i would like a coffee mug that says SUGGEST BAN in the interior once the liquid level gets too low. like, you're not allowed to have too little coffee.
― tehresa, Monday, 3 August 2009 00:45 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm not really sure how this works though, like are you suggest banning the coffee or the mug or?
― tehresa, Monday, 3 August 2009 00:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe the ability to edit a post? I hate reading my own typso.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 3 August 2009 00:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Typos!
Hey tehresa remember at Sefap you suggeted this idea, a little tab that says
http://www.luxurybath.com/images/partners-microban.jpg
so instead of banning somebody for a few days you just ban them for a few minutes

lol i don't think my idea was that fleshed out; i just saw the label on something and snapped a cell phone pic, and was then pondering what exactly a microban would be.

im gonna go back and read this whole thread later, but having more complex poll options, like being able to rank choices 1 thru x, would be great

estela is that a compliment
― kid cruti (roxymuzak), Monday, 3 August 2009 00:52 (fourteen years ago) link
i would think so!
― tehresa, Monday, 3 August 2009 00:53 (fourteen years ago) link
I do. Still the occasional typo. :(

also, this is just a small pet peeve of mine, but in the search page, when searching posts by a certain user, could the default be changed to "display name" instead of "email address" as i can't see who would use the email address to search except for mods (?) and lots of times, esp when i'm trying to find a certain post by someone in a rush, i always have to end up clicking back to search because i forgot to change the default
― air crut (J0rdan S.), Monday, 3 August 2009 01:23 (fourteen years ago) link
^^ Yeah, cosign that.
― Beanbag the Gardener (WmC), Monday, 3 August 2009 01:25 (fourteen years ago) link
OH I HAVE ANOTHER ONE
okay so, could it be possible to order the list of boards on the "boards" page so that i can put the ones that i always read up at the top and the ones that i don't down at the bottom? or like, where it says "ILM Answers" and "ILE Answers" to be able to customize which boards have those links at the top?
― air crut (J0rdan S.), Monday, 3 August 2009 01:29 (fourteen years ago) link
you can do the latter in preferences!
― tehresa, Monday, 3 August 2009 01:30 (fourteen years ago) link
buuuuuuurn
― kid cruti (roxymuzak), Monday, 3 August 2009 01:31 (fourteen years ago) link
ah great, thx t
definitely the bigger one would be having the ablity to order the list of boards on the board page

HEY ANOTHER ONE
is there a way to convert simple html to bbcode? i've never seen that on this site before
― air crut (J0rdan S.), Monday, 3 August 2009 01:32 (fourteen years ago) link
this bullet point thing is super cool cuz sometimes... like i don't want to lose a bookmark on a thread (usually to watch a youtube) but i still want to read the thread if there are subsequent posts and beforehand there was no way to figure out if there were new posts unless you watched the thread on SNA, so this is awesome keith
― air crut (J0rdan S.), Monday, 3 August 2009 01:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Jordan, cheers, also re: the search you are spot on... I'll change it next chance I get because you are absolutely right.
― Keith, Monday, 3 August 2009 01:39 (fourteen years ago) link
"My Recent Posts" = cool. Bullets thing is kinda cool too but doesn't looks a bit off in the default style - maybe they should be squares?
This! I would like a way to Preview the post before submitting it - like a client-side check for bbcode errors and images and such to make sure you're not messing things up.
― Nhex, Monday, 3 August 2009 11:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes I'll have a think about that - several people have asked for that.
Sorted the search defaults.
― Keith, Monday, 3 August 2009 11:29 (fourteen years ago) link
it already sends your post back if you mess up code...further than that, just read your posts.

OK mods can now deindex threads. Note that all this does is puts something in the thread to instruct Google and the like to either not index it, or to deindex it - it'll take time if it's already indexed and there's no guarantee that any given search engine will take notice of the deindex instruction.
