All,
So far it appears you guys like it, and both DFA and I appreciate the sentiment. We appreciate the suggestions at least as much. One offshoot of all the beta testing is that the actual content-based FK has pretty much died. The sooner we roll this puppy out on the new FK site the sooner we can talk baseball again. I’m targeting [insert day later week that I get home before 8].
My understanding is that the site is down to 1 (!!!) probable bug. Specifically, if you click the “mark all comments read” link in the sidebar it fries your cookie and no comments are ever marked read again. Can people try that and confirm it? If your cookie gets fried, you can always delete the cookies for this site.
Beyond that, there are two raging debates. The first one is how to style nested comments. Originally, we used a box model with alternating colors to roughly this effect. Currently, we are using **-style clean comments. As of now, my thinking is that this will work, but I’d like to get a sense of people’s thoughts. Either way, I’ll make the decision when fk 2.0 goes live.
The second raging debate is how to style unread comments. DFA gets the final say on this one, and I’d ask that if you don’t like the current color you suggest a specific alternative. Here is a sandbox where you can try things out. Here is a color chart to get you started.
As always, please please please speak up if something isn’t working/is bothering you. The site is a lot better today than it was on Friday, and it’s all because you guys gave us your input.
