Yah.  A smaller font would go a long way towards making it less jarring,

Sorry 'bout that.  That was a total accident -- never was supposed to be that
big.  I forgot the SIZE="-2" attribute in the <FONT> tag and didn't test
properly.


but I suspect that the best (as in 'least jarring') solution would be to
have the main page (and derivatives thereof) actually showing the number of
messages it claims to.  I'm not sure how hard that would be, implementation-
wise, though.

Wouldda loved to've been able to do that quickly, but that'd require some
major voodoo rewriting (which'll prolly happen eventually but isn't
immediate).

Actually, I was surprised by how much of a difference the font size made.
Rather than ripping up the guts and rearranging them to allow article hiding
(unless you see a need for it?) - You mentioned the possibility of a cookie in
another thread - that seems a quicker & better stopgap until you can implement
RSS. (assuming, of course, that you are - but that's the impression I've
gotten from recent discussion here)

Aside - admin.council has accomplished 1 thing at least - admin.general is
back to threads about structure and design and general queries. :)

(...) Has it? I think one large thread here probably belonged there.. meanwhile the work of the council to get itself organized seems stuck. Frank keeps posting great summations and ideas and we're not running with the ball. (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
