I am very happy to announce three changes today to the LUGNET News web
interface:
|
|
- FTX content in messages. A picture is worth a thousand words. You can now post and view FTX messages through the web interface. This means you can do a lot of neat new things in your messages.
|
My main concern is the extra time it takes to download messages containing
in-line images rather than links to images. This is especially worrisome
when using the Entire Thread on One Page or the This Message and its
Replies on one Page features.
If there is a link to an image I have the choice of whether or not to
spend the time and bandwidth to view it. People on high-speed connections
probably dont care one way or the other, but many of us are on dial-up
connections. I at least have a 56K connection, but many areas cant even get
that level of service.

Id like to see FTX special characters on message previews stripped. When
viewing via the web interface, I see the special characters that create the
formatted text. The brief message previews should be all plain text with those
characters stripped out.
I wonder if it is visible here:

| Hmmm....linking to posts within posts doesnt seem to
work.
Another issue is the Formats
Help Page which only links to the
FTX QuickStart and not the
FTX Guide. People who dont know
about the guide wont be able to access it and all of the useful information it
contains when theyre posting to the web.
