First of all, I tried to post this last night, Monday APR 19, but I couldn't find the post button on any of the forums. I guess it was down temporarily. |

Secondly, a warning to others, if you want to edit your post, do not use the back arrow like you used to do, on the old classic lab site. |

Is it possible that this FUDforum's editing time stamp could be changed to work like the old phpBB forum did? If so, it would be nice to see less of those embarrassing edit remarks. |

Now the font size deal...I'm OK at 1024x768 but I know a lot of you folks have big ass displays using resolutions like 2 million x 4 hundred thousand... or just don't dig the default text size. No probelemo... Using a real browser it's pretty easy change the default font scaling, some as easy as going to the view menu and chosing bigger text. Minions of The Borg (tm) have decided for IE users that font scaling should be disabled by default, or not available (depending on which version of DOS w/ Pictures you use). |

For Mac users the control key doesn't get too much play. Not like the the Apple or command key. |

On Camino, it's command = (for larger) or - for smaller. On Moz or Safari it's command + or -. Moz has a cool text scaling feature that also does it in percentages of the current base. |

But Mac users don't use the keyboard anyway. (Ducking and running) |

What I like about OSX is that it's what Linux (or Solaris or any *nix variant) wants to be on the desktop. It's the best of both worlds and the hardware is pretty sexy as well. Dave |

how about getting rid of the blank line at the beginning of the quoted text? I like having the quoted text set off in a box, but the blank space at the top of each box is kind of annoying. |

For some reason, when I preview and spell check the message, it all looks good, (except the small font is hard to read) but then when I post it, I always find mistakes. |

Now the font size deal...Perhaps in the future we'll plug some dynamic style sheets (some sites have links for "large text" or "small text"). The style sheets do need some work but we're real busy right now and when we finish this we'll be real tired and real busy doing something else. Eventually we'll spank the style sheets and have some better font scaling, but it's back burner for the moment. |

Queue? What queue? Oh, you mean that backed-up list of to do items which, like a hydra, grows two more for each one done? (As you can see, my response here is quite late--I wonder if anyone will read this old thread now? |

That is a good idea; I'll look into it. I hate the wasted space but like the way the quotes are offset. |

There's always something about these forums--whether ye olde wwwboard, phpBB, FUD, or any of the other flavors out there. Here, as in many forums, I typically prefer to open the reply form in a new window, then resize that window so that I can conveniently reference the post(s) I'm responding to whilst keeping my reply text box visible at all times. Scrolling up and down from reply box to reference post to reply box sucks (ok, there's my bitch about the new forums ). |

Actually I usually don't do it that way. I quote the entire message and read through it deleting what I don't care about and replying after each point. (Old habit from bbs and usenet.) Then when I'm all done I preview it, just to make sure I didn't do something stupid. |
