I confirmed Robert's observation. I tried some other long taglines. The quote marks are getting counted twice. As Robert notes, it doesn't truncate incorrectly, but it is odd.
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.
Noted. That should be a reasonably quick fix.
Am-chau, what's the list?
It's long, list-like, and filled with listy goodness, ita.
In summary:
- CVS repository
- Move search out of beta
- ENUF filter (MARCIE)
- an admin only quick edit (!STOMP) that's replaced with the stompy image
- design Stompy image
- Rearchitect code to use XML/XSLT
- Shorten long URLs
- Tag closer
- Ability to label bookmarks
- On-board poll ability
- Option not to show taglines
- Quickedits for tiny text,
- More tags:
- Correct in Lynx, leaving a line blank does not start a new paragraph (post 4073)
- problem with quotes in taglines (post 4131)
- User set style: font, colour, etc (covers for visually impaired, dislike of fonts, size, and several others)
- ‘Subscribe to this thread’ link in thread header
- List of threads in ‘set profile’ be the other way around (ie, last first)
- Threads arranged by type (NAFDA, spoiler, etc.) see BbaBB 2521 for Nou’s suggestions.
- organize the geographic mailing lists and add their own page
- Add First Book and heifer.org to Links page as preferred charities
- Force Beep Me and Press to the top of Message Center
- Reverse chronological sort for Search
- Full-screen, large font compose box for impaired vision.
- Programmatic interface for submitting to Quote Generator
- work-friendly (distinctive logo/graphics only on the front page, not when reading posts)
- Pictures, either with every post or just in the profiles
- Jump to date in thread
- message system, by which private posts can be left for other member, of limited length and retained for limited duration
- tagline archival
Some of these seem to be slightly on the 'policy' side of the question, and I'm not entirely sure about the priorities given to some. However, that's roughly the shape of things.
an if-clause in the post-displaying code -- if they're an admin, replace "!STOMP" with the stompy image or whatever.
I think this needs to be modified to "an admin only quick edit (!STOMP) that's replaced with the stompy image".
And added needs to be "design stompy image" (I do remember something floating around).
I've made those changes, both to the list and the post above, ita.
Because I forgot to say it before: thank you to Am-Chau and ita for adding my request to the list (post 4073) and for all your other hard work.
So, on that list thing. I'm guessing there is nothing for lackaloons like myself to do. If I can be of any help, I am happy to.
Yes, thanks, -ma and glitter to those who make the Phoenix fly. Why don't you let us nontechies know sometime if there's something the likes of us can assist with?
AHH! I had this wonderful long Sang Sacre thing, complete stream of consciousness, I was logged in and everything, but when I hit Post it threw me to the Index page and I was in Guest mode!!! Please, is there a way around that?
Not until a developer can duplicate the problem -- what were the conditions? How long between getting to that page and hitting post? What's your OS/browser? What are your user settings? Remember me? Does anything else log you out like that?
