Sorry, missed this thread. ::)

It's the one on 'screen tearing' created by AJ. I saw no other buttons in the reply screen and 'post reply' wouldn't let me post because I was the last person who posted. oh, it did say the last post was one day ago in the recent threads list.

I only wanted to bump it to test your new system. :)

Well, if the button isn't there, then that does pose a problem... Are you sure you were logged on?

Although, there's nothing preventing you to just backdoor using the link from another page, as long as the rules are met.

I clicked on 'Send to top' and it now seems to be bumped.

Can you check? I thought send to top just altered my view, not the actual data.

No, it's up there. damn you. Usually when checking the forums I look at all the threads above the first dim lightbulb, assuming I skipped the other lit ones on purpose. Now that won't work.

It alters the timestamp on the last post to be the current time.

Hehehehehehehe....

You should put a limit on it Matthew so it can only be done once or twice for each thread. :)

First Post said:

* Send to Top. The rules have changed to allow the originator or last poster to bump the thread if no replies have been made in 24 hours. At this point there are no other restrictions, but all data is logged for future use - which most likely will include limits.

Doh, and double DOH!

But in my defence this thread has grown large and I forgot the wording of your original post.

Well theoretically you could only do it 7 times right?

Or is the 24 hours since the last real post not the last post timestamp you're updating? Perhaps have it do a 12 hour minimum since the last bump? That should solve any abuse problems... and not worry people about exceeding any kind of bump limit.

Is that style sheet definitely definite now? Is there no chance of making the 'XX mins ago' and forum names just a teeny bit bigger? Some one else posted that it doesn't look good on Linux, and it is at the very limits of legibility on Mac, too (attached)

Is that using the Konqueror-based browser?

Peter Hull

No, it's Camino, which is Mozilla-based.
The site looks fine on Mozilla/windows. Maybe it's just my small laptop screen that means 6.5pt is very small? I really don't know how these things work.

How about on mozilla-mac?

Marcello: I haven't installed it. ATM I'm very happy with Camino, and I can't be bothered to install another browser. I'll try the infamous IE for Mac though (later)
I wonder whether specifying the small fonts in pixels might be better than points, just for the very small ones?

Don't points equal pixels on the Mac, but some other stuff depending on some arbitrary dpi value on Windows?

Mars,

I read that, too. However, it doesn't seem to be true (see attachment) It's interesting to see the three browsers (from the left: safari, IE, Camino) interpret the font sizes differently.

Problem is they aren't using antialiased fonts, which is stupid.

pt and px should not be the same, however, px from computer to computer should be pixel-perfect the same. And pt should print the same on any computer (I think?).

Does [url http://www.allegro.cc/forums/recent2.php] look any different in those browsers? The Forum Name is using xx-small and the Last Posted Time is using x-small.

It sure looks different in Win32 Mozilla anyway... the text in the recent2 version is way easier to read than the old (new) one :)
Small text is the curse of 1600x1200... ;)

I use 1600x1200 and have no problems (125dpi). I can always hit ctrl+.

Recent2 definitely looked better for me. There's a new Camino due in April - maybe they will have fixed whatever is wrong by then???

Both look fine in Konqueror. (KHTML)

What about making the forum names linkable as well?

That would disrupt the color scheme... Too many links!
