Now I'm entitled to complain :

(i.e. proactive betatesting etc...)

Funny stuff with the Tribext plus-four button : "+4" doesn't display in the listbox until a comment has been +4'd; and it seems to do a page reload instead of a javascript update.

...So perhaps I should just shut up now.

By the way, I like this new design... ;-)

Is the total width of #container fixed/hardcoded to a certain number of pixels?

i.e. (at a guess) there isn't a proper "user page" template yet.

How do I see my recent replies? In the old version I could click on my username and see them...

There is a problem apparently and I can't post in it, which is a bit of a nuisance

keep to the Fen Causeway

I guess we still can not change the name "diaries" to "articles"?

When I click on a user name I come to their diaries http://www.eurotrib.com/user/uid:2614/diary leads to ArGeezers diaries. But the top bar with the option of checking their comments is missing. On the other hand if I type http://www.eurotrib.com/user/uid:2614/comments I get both ARGeezers comments and the top bar with Info Diary Comments Ratings Stories. This is particularly confusing if you click a user that has no diaries.

instead of:
http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2013/1/15/93756/6001

TribExt doesn't work there and when you click on the Home link (not the bouncing box), you get to an  "pre.eurotrib.com" version of the site, something like an alternate reality Eurotrib....

I like that the indentation is smaller: that will allow to better follow long comment threads who tend to crowd on the right hand side.

Any way to get rid of the two gray bars on each side? Or adjust their sizes? I have an old 4:3 monitor and this is taking a good chunk of usable area. The diaries and the comment are squeezed into barely 60% of the (admittedly limited) screen width.

(Waddya mean, get yourself a real monitor?  :-)

nice to see the FB etc buttons too, well done!

1. The numbered points in my diary - The Trillion $ Coin are buggered
   
2. Don't like having to scroll all the to bottom of diary to recommend it as I often make up my mind later
   
3. Just testing numbered points here

woke up to snow all around and ET< FF and tribext all playing nice together.

it's a beautiful day in cyberspace/

I'm experimenting with Trello for this sort of issue tracking.

I've turned off using $ and $$ as delimiters, so you have to use \ [ \ ] and \ ( \ ) instead. You also need to use either "Plain text" or "HTML Formatted" for your comment.

e.g.

• Asterisk for bullet point
  
• Too lazy to look for other things

but I've been getting infrequent occurrences where the page loads without any comments at all (everything else is there, headers sidebars etc)

and if I reload it, it displays correctly but of course none of the comments are flagged as "new".

Does that make any sense to anyone?

Any way to adjust this?

it used to happen but command- would scale it down to legible levels. now it shrinks the comment and cuts off both sides.

(in case anyone's wondering why there are a lot of typos lately!

whle we're at it, the 'new' thingy was always a bit wonky, if i read a comment in recent comments, it would still show up as new if viewed in it's diary, salon or OT.

sometimes the recent comments comes up with just one or two comments, refreshing doesn't help, and it corrects itself after a variable while.

last gripe... when i give a 4 in the comment replies, they don't take, though they look like they do, when you go see the comment in context, it remains  4'd.

the comment font size issue is fine in chrome.

Any ideas?

Orthodoxy is not a religion.

As it is set up now, the news diary is hidden below a big banner and the open threads. The open threads are fun but maybe not as important as the news.

So my suggestion is to reverse these two items, putting the news stories over the open diaries.

is it just that ETers are busier in the evenings, or is blogging energy getting routed more into diary commenting and what-used-to-be-salons?

have to see site stats to know i guess...

open threads have lost out in the change, what would be interesting is if other features have gained, if any, and whether others miss the OT's, which were the most playful side of the site.

not serious enough maybe!

overall i love the changes, just a bit sad to see the sun setting on the OT's.

quite remarkable what the 'social engineering' of relocating once-familiar links can do to site traffic.

are we so visually controllable?

cue refrain: "correlation is not causation"

guess we can do what we did elsewhere, maybe we were having too much fun posting silly pics while rome is burning...
