Normal sized, now, TY. BTW, I like the sigs with small fonts, the quote normal.

I like it that way, too. And I hope I don't get overruled on that stylistic choice before we do the change-over.

Well, I'm getting the sigs with the normal font and the quotes small...

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Oh wait! I just reloaded. Now everything is normal sized, which I don't mind.

All normal here, too. Hoping the sigs get small.

Hmm, I missed all the shenanigans in the middle, but, to this Firefox user, everything looks about the same as normal.

As long as the option to turn font sizes up or down works, the default font size doesn't have to be perfect. You can't please all of the whingers all of the time.

As an aside, I just changed snitz forum over from the database authenticated model (as SFN uses) to an NT domain based one. That was a little painful, as I had to manually edit every user's account, among other things. My little forum has less than 20 members though, so it wasn't really a big deal.

Damn. I can't find the suggestions thread any longer, but I wanted to ask that edit not bump threads.

Go new SFN. :)

You mean this one, hidden away in Polls and Surveys?
...but I wanted to ask that edit not bump threads.
But... but... then it'll be harder to catch cheaters!
Go new SFN. :)
The hardest part is figuring out what the current software does so that it can be changed without losing functionality. This may take a while...

That's was the thread, Dave. Thanks, as usual.

Couple of suggestions that came up during chat:

Prolong the runtime allowed for searches.
Searching should return the page(s) of the thread where the search terms were found.
Store last login time in the database instead of a cookie.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

For new registrations, could the age be shown as "Not Given", "0", "-1" or something obviously different to "13", or whatever the default is when people don't enter anything.

From memory, this has caused confusion on more than one occasion.

BTW, should this stuff be here, or here?

Hey, well, it's only been ten months since there was any action on this thread (there's been lots of action behind-the-scenes, as well as a lot of slacking off).

I've got a question for our regular users: does anyone use the Forum Bookmark feature we have here on the SFN?

(If your answer is "no, I'd never seen that before," please don't start using it now. )

The bookmark is an overlooked feature for me. I have used it... maybe once. But only because I never remember it is available.

Well, I ask the question because it seems to me that the natural thing for people to do is use the bookmark/favorite feature built-in to their own browser, instead of the feature we have here.

I've run queries to see how much bookmarking is used and, well, it isn't used much at all. Only a few dozen records exist after 5 years. Losing that feature should be a tiny step forward in terms of speeding up the site.
