  Re: email setup
 
(...) I'm not sure if Nortel Canada runs their mail servers the same way Nortel Raleigh does, but every couple of months or so, I see errors occuring from all the Nortel subscribers to a listserve I run. After a day or two, the errors go away, (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: email setup
 
(...) Your email server was bouncing all of the email sent to you -- giving delivery failed status notifications back to LUGNET asking not to send further mail. IIRC, it was saying either that your inbox was full or that your address was invalid. (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Yes, forgot about this. (...) Not eradication, no. Maybe deemphasis. Now that I think about it, I think the better way to go may be to launch a new window for the posting operation, leaving the old one right where it is at. The user goes (...)

  Re: Double posting.
 
(...) Additional thought, can you close the window when the posting is complete without errors (none of the newsreaders I use put up anything for successefull posts - in fact, in general I hate having to click on a "your action completed (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Hmm, so long as it doesn't make the posting page dependant on Javascript. Frank (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Double posting.
 
(...) Ah, that would be good. Normally I don't like browsers automatically poping up new windows (if I want one I'll center click at work, or right click and chose "open in new window" at home), but in this case, the new window for the reply (or new (...)

  Re: Double posting.
 
(...) No, nothing to do with server load... It has to do with the stack paradigm of web browsers in general...hitting the Back button _really_ brings you back to where you were (assuming the browser isn't buggy), as opposed to a facsimilie of where (...)

(...) I wish edit boxes were draggable interactively like window corners! (Seriously! :) Hmm, I wonder if there's some JavaScript or DHTML thingie by which this could be handled interactively on the client side? --Todd (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: posting preview (was: Re: Double the Fun)
 
(...) I neglegted to answer Todd's question about the behavior. Yes, the page resets (99% of the time - I've recently been noticing that _sometimes_ when I return to the new LEGO listings on eBay after a search that my search is still in the form). (...)

  Re: posting preview (was: Re: Double the Fun)
 
(...) Aah, sounding good. Another little thing, can we have a larger edit window (or is there any way to make it re-sizeable, it seems silly to me to have to be only looking at about 20 lines of text when about 60 fit on my screen).

  Re: posting preview (was: Re: Double the Fun)
 
(...) It can't be IE 5, or it's a configuration option (and I didn't find it just now), I'm running IE 5 as I type this and I can go back and forth no problem. There IS behaviour on some server generated pages where IE will prompt you to repost the (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  posting preview (was: Re: Double the Fun)
 
(...) How about an automatic edit box below the preview, with a pair of buttons on the left (preview and post) and a cancel button on the right (just like the FTX page editing thingie but with different button labels)? That way you could just (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.admin.general)

  preview
 
Todd, Thanks for adding the preview function. Can we also have a post button for when we don't want to preview? The deal is, when I'm including a link I want to preview so I can test the links. When I'm not including a link I don't want to preview (...) (26 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
