P.S. IE7 does suck... it is just fixes a few annoyances.

to bad you can't make it so it auto-folds people's posts up. That way I don't have to see dumb people post.

wow, new buttons too. I must be slow lol.

Edit: I think the toggle button should be on the left side. If there is an image big enough to strech the screen, it would be annoying to have to scroll to get to the link.

Rich - that stupid image give me an idea. How hard would it be to detect if an image was going to be larger than the screen width and then autohide the row?

Hmm, not really possible. If all the images were local then sure, I could do it. But when someone links to an image elsewhere, I'd have to code something to actually download that image, then parse it, and then allow display of it - and hope that the image wasn't dynamically generated. This is too much to do at run-time I'm afraid. Also getting the users screen res can only be done with JavaScript, and would need refreshing if they resized their browser, etc.

In short, I don't think there is an exact enough science yet. When the forum moves to 100% CSS layout, the above table stretching won't be a problem.

@Rich... Good point - I didn't consider that.

I like the sound of that! Does that project have a timeframe?

@UFO: I completely agree... It should go next to the time.

Oh and when you hover over the 'image' button it says 'Inset an image' - little typo.

Oh and just noticed the 'email' button says 'Inset an email address'

Can't we annoy our American users and have 'center' spelt correctly.

Boo!

It'd be pretty neat if we could customize an auto toggle for certain users or noobs. That kind of quality feature would sweep the world by storm.

Yep, lets hit up the guys who made HTML and slap them for not having <centre> tags too

Nope, it's standard programming conventions to have US centric spelling.

I agree re: the toggle placement, will swap it over.

Ah, thank god. Had actually forgotten about the toggle button until I saw this post. My 1920x1200 and 1600x1200 displays can be annoying to get to the toggle button easily.

Any chance of that "my last page" option we mentioned before Rich? Basically a way of going to the last post you read on a post. Considering you already hold this info (ie. first blue post is where I want to be in a thread) then probably quite an easy one. Is annoying to currently do last page then go back trying to find the last post you read (cos they are now grey and there is no way of telling anymore).

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

1) This thread has life in it yet
2) The toggle button still has yet to be moved
3) Dazzag - I'd love that to be implemented!
