If you're expecting user counts to be anywhere near accurate on any publicly accessible board, you're pretty clueless. I don't know of any site admin that has the time to vet almost 4 million accounts to make sure there's no multi-account users.

Understood. But if everyone knows the thing is off - way off - what's the point of "bragging" about it?

Have I offended you in some personal way? It seems the first thing you do when you get here each day is locate all of my posts and vote them down - regardless of the content. Exactly what's the problem, and how can we fix it?

New preview system

I know that you have been having trouble with the preview system of late so why not just implement it the way Shog has done it? I think that would be the easiest of all the updates to actually implement. I'm sure he would be happy to give you the source for it.

What is wrong with WYSIWYG?

a) Some people just plain old don't like it
b) loading up the editing engine can take a bit of time, especially on slow connections
c) it may encourage HTML spam. Large, bold, colourful text splattered all over the page.

So saying, it is going to happen but I'm just so bogged down that I would rather work on fixing other things rather than working on adding additional features right at the moment.

We certainly don't want pages with distractingly large, bold, or colorful items like these[^], for example.

I think you've got the whole idea reversed. The background - ie, your stuff - is supposed to be subtle and unobtrusive so the content contributed by the members can catch, direct and control the reader's focus.

Chris that is just a sig poking fun at the whole argument. I used Shog's WYSIWYG to make that and as you will see: it is size 18 bright yellow text, which was done at the click of a button (and then changing 7 to 18)

In the lounge I just replied to 'guiqul163' inline with Simmon's post. Now first off note that it is positioned as though I had posted to John directly, but then on further inspection look at the subject....

Something just went crunch.

Might be handy to help Chris with the link.

Looking at the source guiqul163 [^] has a malformed link (he failed to enclose the url with "). The URL to blame is in his sig, which I think is suppose to point to a blog. Unsure | :~

This doesn’t quite count as post padding does it? Smile | :)
