[history]
Terse report for now:
- NEW By popular demand Browse All Forums (Search is on the todo list.)
- FIXED The pager now alerts on new comments to you in any forum (it used to only alert for the News/Activism forum.)
- CHANGED General Interest now General Interest (Chat).
- I added color to the sidebar, tell me (politely!) what you think.
- Lots of misc. things under the hood.
There are a bunch of add'l changes/additions I'd like to make, and this is probably not the last update today. I'll update this thread if so.
Update #1
- You can choose your own color for each topic subscribed in your sidebar. See the subscriptions gadget (All but blue is probably dog ugly. Feel free to suggest new color schemes in standard web hexadecimal (one color for the background of the title the other for the background of the links)
Update #2
- A few trivial changes, mostly cosmetic.
- You can now search by time or relevance from the latest posts. And it remembers what your last search was and defaults to that. So NOW order by time can be your default search setting.
- Oh yeah, almost forgot, SPELL CHECK! (replies for now, articles will come later.)
Update #3
- New Posts to You from You has been vanquished. New posts will only alert when other people ping you.
- Playing with the position of the Spell check button. Sorry.
- Your personal menu has a new small treat inside.
- Fixed a couple bugs dealing with the spell check code.
- I'm not done yet.
Update #4:
- Okay, I have stopped dorking with the link colors. Back to the defaults they go. Thanks for baring my experiment, I figure it's the least you owe for All Forum posts. ;-)

Yeah, that's it. Thanks.
That's my last big hurdle. I can post links, images, bold or italic, but can't figure out how to have links with other than plain text.
Momma did say I was slooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww.......

Duh! I thought of that right after I clicked POST.
I'll just sit in the corner for 15 minutes.

<i>Don't know what happened to the italics in this last post. It looked fine in preview</i>
Same thing just happened to me on another thread.
EEEEEEK!!!! This one too!
HTML is OK in the reply box, but the italians don't convert in preview.
To: Vermonter; John Robinson
Don't know what happened to the italics in this last post. It looked fine in preview Let's try that again. Looks like a temporary hiccup

In my post the italians were OK in preview but didn't take effect on the actual post.

Anyone know why I can't get the background color or font color to change on my home page? I assume it's black on white default. HTML attribute assignment doesn't work and neither does my CSS. No biggie, just wondering..:))
Thanks!

Speaking of freeper opera, the *Opus List is now two years old, and it was born

To: Timesink
That explains it. From what I've heard, Adelphia sucks. Surprisingly, Time Warner (Road Runner) doesn't; in fact, I recently got an uptick in speed to 2xT1 download (uploads are still in the 320 kbps range).

Thanks, John!
I have no idea what a "regex" is, but as long as you can fix it, we can forgive you for the world's axis.

"Your personal menu has a new small treat inside." Very cool!
Hey nic, did you see this?

'Tis been disabled (CSS was experimental). From earlier in the thread, JohnRob said you now have to use tables to get color.
