hmmm... I'm in Win 2K now (IE 5.5) and the text is the normal size. Strange.

That's far too weird! A message is only created when you click on the submit button at the end of the "Reply" page. Hmmmm.

For you Mike - anything! :)

Ah, ok. So the first thing I should do when I visit the site is go to the forums. ;)

Hi again Mike, I know we talked about this privately today, but for the others who are wondering: Unfortunately you need to send in the updates manually. I'm thinking of allowing self-updates in some circumstances (details to be decided). The problem comes in keeping the look and feel standard, plus moderation. The Self Posted articles vary significantly in appearance. Many authors do a great job, but there are still a bunch who make a bit of a mess (which is cool - it adds to the fun :)). In practice the only way to ensure a consistant look and feel (and level of quality) is to have the final edit done by either Val or I.

Ah, ok. I see now. :) My last visit was about noon PDT today, so I thought that might have been about 2 AM Australian time.

Argh. Thanks for that that Mike. I'm currently offsite so it will be a day or so till I get to it. oops :)

Thanks for the message Alvaro. It's certainly something we can think about.

Thanks Mike. ================== The original message was: Subject says it all - I really like that new feature! --Mike--

Glad you liked it... ================== The original message was: I just saw the CP ad in MSDN mag. Pretty neat! I also think it's quite cool that both my name and my coworker Chris's name are visible in the screen shot. =)

Hey Mike, The comments I can certainly fix - the forum...not so easy. I personally hate /00 as well - so I'll make the changes. cheers, Chris ================== The original message was: A suggestion for the forums and comments... the year is displayed as "00" instead of "2000". I'd suggest changing it to 2000. Just a pet peeve of mine. :)

There ya go! Maybe you could write it off as a business expense. ;) --Mike-- ================== The original message was: That is so cool! Maybe I should buy myself one - you know, just to check that the site looks OK on all platforms ================== The original message was: Chris, Just wanted to let you know that the main pages look pretty good on a Dreamcast. Surprising how nice it looks at TV resolution. =) (Yes I just got a DC tonight. My fascination with the browser lasted all of, oh, 10 minutes.) --Mike--

Yep - HTML is turned on :) Thanks for the comments - I'd like to rework the Forum UI a little to make it look less generic, so I'll take your ideas on board. - Chris ================== The original message was: Heh, looks like the board has HTML turned on :) My second paragraph was: Also, the font is awfully small. I see that the text is marked up as . While it is readable to me, it does get a bit tiring on the eyes after a while. Bumping the size up to 2 or 3 would be nicer IMO. ================== The original message was: Something I just noticed in the disussion area... All of the links to posts are blue - they don't change color to indicate which posts you've already read. That makes it very hard to find new messages. Also, the font is awfully small. I see that the text is marked up as . While it is readable to me, it does get a bit tiring on the eyes after a while. Bumping the size up to 2 or 3 would be nicer IMO. --Mike--

Wikipedia has a pretty good article on color blindness. Included are links to some applications like http://www.vischeck.com/ that can simulate various types of color blindness. Without darkness, there are no dreams. -Karla Kuban
