  FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
Hi! Announcing Lotsaparts II, a Lego parts auction. (URL) Over 23,000 brand-new Lego pieces! - Tons of bricks, plates, slopes and arches - all the pieces you need and can't get seperately. - Over 300 minifigs (and lots of accessories!) - Lots of (...)

  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
Minor nit--why is the category-links list squished into a narrow column? Steve (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
He probably didn't know it was squishing. At the same screen resolution I get a squished column at home (Netscape 3.something) but it's fine here at work (Netscape 4.something). Does make it harder to read, I must say. Doug (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
(...) Is it squishing for you? What resolution are you browsing with? I tested it down to 640x480 on a 15" monitor (with the standard document font sizes) and it looks fine to me. I can certainly change it around, though, if that would mean that you (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
(...) Perhaps it is a 3. bug then? I thought it was a resolution problem, but I admit I have only tested it in Netscape 4.x. If you think that the average bidder would scroll all the way down to the bottom, I will move the categories below the other (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

Hmm. Browser-dependence. OK, I'm running IE 5 on a 1280x1024 display. Steve (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
(...) Dunno if this is what Steve was talking about, but in my browser, IE5 running at 1024x768, I see a 40/60 table with the auction categories being squeezed into a teeny tiny section on the left. (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
(...) I see it now. (I found a machine running IE 4.) Must be a bug, as the code is html 2.0. I guess I'll move the categories down below the other information. follow-ups to lugnet.off-topic.geek Naji (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
(...) Try it now, Mike. I think I found the problem... Thanks, Naji (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
(...) Try it now. I think it's fixed. Thanks for pointing it out! (Boy do I feel stupid now. My page has looked that dumb for a week and nobody told me.) Now if I could just get rid of that darn tripod banner.... Thanks, Naji (URL) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
(...) Looks awesome now. I had noticed it before, but I'm far from being an HTML-master, so I didn't think it was my place to point it out. :) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
I looked hard for a way to make the Tripod banner go away but they did a good job of hiding the window name (handle). You can make the Tripod banner less of nuicanse by changing all of your <BODY> tags to <BODY onLoad="focus();"> - the net effect is (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: FA: 23000 Lego Pieces
 
(...) Ahhh. Much better. OK, so it doesn't take much to make me happy. :) Steve (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
