I'd like to ping a bit about the tiny post text size since it doesn't seem to be at the senseis page. ;-)

I think what's happening is the following: the current stylesheet.css has the following font-family for the post's class:
Code:
font-family: "Lucida Grande","Trebuchet MS",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;

If you're running a vanilla Linux system, as you seem to be based on your screenshot, then probably none of the first 4 entries in that list will be found, so it'll default to your system's default sans-serif font, which is likely quite small.

So here's the best solution, that won't interfere with anyone else: pick a good, sans-serif font that's present on your (and therefore, probably, everyone's) Linux distribution that you find easy to read at the default size (1.3em) and I'll add it to the font-family list right in between Arial and sans-serif. Your system will pick it up and display it automatically. Everyone else who has any of the first 4 fonts won't notice a thing.

Hi,

In another thread I've asked about the possibility to download Malkovich games.

What about a button like "show full thread on one page in print preview" with all hidden sections automatically shown? This would ease archiving, printing and viewing a finished game.

Any comments, e.g. why this would be a bad idea? I can think of too much server load, but am not sure how serious this would be.

Your idea is not fully implemented, yet, but SGF hyperlinks have been added to diagrams, so you should be able to download some of the Malkovich diagrams, if you'd like (but it doesn't contain the sequence of moves - just the position, currently).

As far as I understand, it lacks all the comments of the observers and the players, which is what make this kind of games interesting?

I have recently read some interesting replies to teaching DDK. What I'd really like is some kind of "I like this post" button, which could serve two purposes:

  • The system could generate an automated list of the most favoritized (does this word even exist?) posts, which would be interesting for new users as an orientation. I am not sure how much this functionality is already covered by sticky threads?
  • I don't clutter my bookmark list with many single topics. This is kind of secondary, since I could organize it better

Any thoughts on integrating the GD ladder into the forum system?

I've definitely thought about it. If anyone else wants to collaborate, I have some great ideas on how it should work (i.e. integrating with the phpbb3 code), I just lack (a) time [right now] and (b) front-end GUI/HTML experience. But with a little effort we should be able to come up with something pretty seamless.

Yeah, that's correct. I guess it would be possible to make a tag such that everything in the tag were compiled into an SGF, but this would be at a "post-by-post" level, and not the comments of the entire thread.

If we somehow could compile the entire thread's posts into an SGF, I'm not exactly sure where it should be available for download (if we could get it to be generated dynamically)...

If already suggested, ignore it. Is it possible to have the posts numbered? I know it sounds trivial but referring to a post by number rather than quoting it is sometimes useful, especially when trying to keep track of things in a Robert Jasiek type thread - just kidding.

I'll pay 5 dollars for this feature. :mrgreen:

Thank you Adrian! The check's in the mail ;)

Agreed. And nested indent tags too. ( Supposedly I could do it, I'm sticking to simple admin stuff )

There's a workaround using nested list instead of nested indent.

F.Y.I. It appears if you edit you forum preferences to sort descending, that the post numbers get reversed as well. I.E. the last post made chronologically last is listed as post #1.

User Control Panel -> Board preferences -> Edit display option -> Display post order: descending.

P.S: first post! :D

Hmm, whoops :) I didn't even know you could sort posts descending. I'll definitely fix this, it has to be consistent to be useful!

Yeah, getting the products database working would be cool. Also, can you tell now which posts are new since you last visited a thread?
