  Re: Technic sidebar thingie
 
(...) I strongly agree with Kelly's response above. The role of administrator is a priveledge that should be bestowed upon trustworthy and honorable people. The priveledge should be revoked if used outside of the purvue of responsible administrative (...) (18 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Unfortunately, I believe you are correct. (...) I don't know his motives any better than I assume you do, but it seems to me that he moved it to .debate in order to marginalize my attempts to steer this discussion back toward the central issue (...)

(...) Hi Ross, that is s.th. I would adjust. First it was interesting to know whether the effect shows up right in IE7 basically. -Rene (18 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Small issue with homepage & Firefox
 
(...) Because (in FF) the size of the link reduces when you mouse over, it creates a very strange effect when the mouse is near the border between 2 adjacent links - it alternates between one link and the other. ROSCO (18 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

(...) That was fast, just got a screenshot via email. IE7 does show them, that's good for now. Well, should I make the change to a more clear source code? -Rene (18 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

(...) Hi Geoffrey (and other IE7 users), here is a test site: (URL) With IE6, there should not be a yellow preview box when moving the mouse over any of the Top Stories links. With FF, there should be a yellow preview box (although it will be (...) (18 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

  Re: Technic sidebar thingie
 
(...) No. The admins will determine if I crossed any line, and take action as necessary. (...) Firstly, that has nothing to do with the point I was making about wanting ALL admins to be "in the loop" when someone "contacts admin". And secondly, the (...)

So you sent e-mail to the admins, and then in the absence of a response you assumed that you had administrative approval to alter somebody else's content? No problem. Sure. (...) Under the (...)

  Re: Small issue with homepage & Firefox
 
(...) I have to admit that I haven't installed IE7 yet, does anybody know whether IE7 knows the :hover pseudo also for other elements than just <a>? If yes, I indeed would change the code, because IE6- users wouldn't lose any significant (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Small issue with homepage & Firefox
 
(...) Hi Ross, to be honest, the way I wrote the source code isn't the cleanest way. Example: <div class='box_top box_topcol_x'> <a class='top_link' href='(URL)Green Quad <span> <img src='(URL) alt='' /> Hey all, check out my (URL) Green Quad, now (...)

(...) Yeah I was pretty sure it was correct behaviour, but it could be a little confusing/annoying. I guess there's no easy way to work around it? ROSCO (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Technic sidebar thingie
 
(...) It seems that NONE of the admins received your e-mail, because the implication I've been reading is that NONE of them would have told you to go ahead. But the point is, you shouldn't need the admins to tell you when you are crossing that line, (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Small issue with homepage & Firefox
 
(...) Hi Ross, this is correct behaviour, because the whole link is still active. The link consists of the subject in the blue Top Stories Box AND the text in the yellow box (in FF clarified by the dotted line). Click on any place on the site to (...)

  Small issue with homepage & Firefox
 
When using Firefox, if I middle-click one of the top stories to open in a new tab, the description popup stays displayed, and mousing over the other topics displays their popups behind it. Opera doesn't seem to have this problem, but I haven't tried (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Technic sidebar thingie
 
(...) No, it bothers me because (as happened in this case) an email to the Lugnet admins does not reach ALL Lugnet admins, and one of the admins that was "out of the loop" reverted my changes. While not a problem in this case, I can see a potential (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)
