Wings Over Scotland


The listening blog

Posted on April 26, 2012 by


Regular readers may have noticed that our comments system has been prone to random brainstorms for a while, leading to some awkwardly-formatted comments that can be a bit of a pain to read. Ever alert to customer concerns, we’ve installed some new plugins that should smarten things up somewhat, and which also provide a five-minute editing window so you can go back and fix any embarrassing clangers that may have slipped into the first draft.

Um, that’s it. Nothing more to see here. Move along, now.

Oh thank god… a new thread!

I was getting a bit obsessed with Severin 😀

P.S. Nice!!!

[EDIT] – Couldnt resist… Can you make the edit countdown timer be in the style of the clock on 24?

Angus McLellan

So what does this do? Ah. And this? I see. And how about this? Wow! An invisible underline. And this? An invisible strike-through. Great, I’ll never have to type a fake ^W again.

Wonder what
this
does?

Invisible bullets!

That’s
clever
stuff.

Invisible numbers!

But what happens if I type <big>this</big>? And how to get 72-point green blinking text (as we de rigeur last time I looked at HTML)?

Teething problems I think. Either that or a problem between my keyboard and my chair. Edit function works fine though.

Tearlach

Kids and toys…. Sigh.

@Scott Minto – Do you mean like this “24” clock?

At least i can comment on here! 🙂
On the ‘Bloomin heather’ thread on NNS, i posted several replies yesterday to questions asked of me. Despite being civil, not one has been posted. It seems i am not allowed to defend my anti-windfarm position. 
 If sites only allow one point of view, then they will soon grow stale.

I hit strikethrough a couple of times and my screen started to vibrate. Is that bad? 🙁

As has been discussed here and on NNS, they have a slow initial release from premod

If you are a new user, or on the naughty step, it can take a while to get posts modded, but you posts, or some of them at least, seem to be there now

Just wondering if my posts may now get through with the changes

Some of my posts appeared after posting here. RevStu must have magical powers. 🙂

I
assumed
that
it
was
WYSIWYG

 

but
it
isn’t
as
the
preview
looked
fine.

I never had a Commodore 64. And this isn’t Vista.
This time I didn’t type the text then apply the formatting. We’ll see if that works.

And you can edit.

So maybe it is me (or my PC). If there really is underlining in Douglas Clark’s 12:16pm it definitely is me.
One last try.

RevStu, PLEASE can you do something to allow your harassed readers to access a list of previous blog posts.  It’s driving me nuts.  Yes, the cryptic titles might still make it hard to find the right one, but it would be a start.
 
Right now I want the one where you demonstrated that England has never been forced into a Labour government it didn’t vote for by Scottish votes.  I have no clue what search term to use that won’t return almost every article you ever wrote.  Other blogs mostly have some way to scan the titles by month, and I thought you’d added that, but no.
 
Ho hum, back to this frustrating search.

Morag

It’s OK, I found it, because it was on the “most read articles” list.  But the basic point still stands.  There’s no way to go directly to an older article you want to cite, and it would be good if there were.

Morag

That only gives me a list of months.  If I click on a month, that doesn’t give me a list of titles to choose from, it loads up the actual blog posts from that month, pages-worth, graphics and all.
 
I swear it did do as you say when you first added it.  But it’s not doing it for me now.
