  Re: New homepage for LUGNET
 
(...) Ya, or rather it worked too well. It was actually used quite a bit, but it saw almost immediate abuse when people discovered that they could mark posts as zero from people they didn't like, just to be mean. Internally, it was represented by a (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: New homepage for LUGNET
 
(...) These are pretty much the improvements I would like to see on the LUGNET homepage. I think adding in some sort of blog feature would allow moderators/curators to easily post content to the homepage (disclaimer: I don't know anything about how (...)

(...) I agree: Don't Do That. The web isn't a brochure-display mechanism. (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general)

(...) Ow, my brain! In seriousness, one of the problems with this design is difficulty of expansion. If some new vital site comes out, where does it fit in? (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: New homepage for LUGNET
 
(...) If I remember right, the initial news rating system *was* 0-10, and it didn't work very well. Too many options, too much work. (...) I'm not sure this is a good thing. It can lead to a sort of "clique" of Famous Posters and interesting things (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general)

(...) (snip) (...) I agree. (...) Great idea! I could help with the translation to French. (more seriously than I did for "schleim" at PDX with John Neal! ;D) (...) That would be interesting. (...) Pierre (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)

Well, this looks really "busy" and crowded. Erik Bush (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: New homepage for LUGNET
 
Hey, WOW! A new LUGNET site! :> This is GREAT. I like the one that is hear but a change can be good! Out of curiosity, what brought upon these interesting thoughts of changing the site? I design websites often, well actually almost everyday I am (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I agree with Gary, except for one big thing. Precise CSS positioning that's cross-browser compatible (IE, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, Mac) is a pain royalé, sitting right next to impossible. I've done it and it's nuts. Unless you don't care if (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)
