Usagi where do you work?

 

Bureau of Stats

 

So you're responsible for me having to go to my folks place tonight to help them fill out their census online?

I just biked in to say that the fasthack changes are just about perfect.

Now if only we could get back the old school grey...grrrr...umble.

i highly recommend you all change your theme to "watmm-fasthack"

 

it fixes a lot of things (fonts, colors, size, layout, speed, quotes, buttons, icons...), and hopefully doesn't break anything.

 

overall, it should scroll much smoother, especially in firefox.

 

there's still some things that aren't quite right, though. i don't like the line spacing, and i'll probably increase the space/separation between avatars and posts a bit more.

 

so expect a few more changes, and perhaps momentary breakage.

 

let me know if you see problems (like almost invisible text, weird borders, etc).

 

you're welcome ;)

But does it change whineyness?

The old 2005 colors from the screenshot that was posted earlier in this thread...this current skin, fasthack, has just about all the things I loved about the old 2005 WATMM + tons of new IPB stuff...I'm just so burnt out on the generic web 2.0 blue themes.

At the level of forum view, the inline placement of tags is weird, too. It kinda needs its own line, eh?

E.g. - For this thread, "I'm looking at you, joyrex."

I eternally lost 20 whole minutes reading this whole thread.

My sig and avatar are too close to one another.

The color scheme made me puke a little in my mouth.

I am displeased.

i would really rather have topic description over tags

meanwhile, the search function STILL sucks.

props to chaos for the fasthack. my own personal down jones index grew 5% for you, buddy. or dude...

yes three cheers.

now for some unpopular bitching requests, can you get rid of the sigs kthxbye

My Settings -> 'Ignore' Preferences -> check "Ignore all signatures when reading topics"

Presto

awesome! thanks man

I like this.

(using the fasthack skin)

So what should I do with my iPhone? The new font is so small and it seems I browse more with my phone than I do sitting down at a computer these days?

Ah, the fasthack is MUCH better, i still say the color are a bit off, but if I understand correctly from reading the thread, it's being worked on... right now it's SO BRIGHT!!!
