Trying to Embed a Video
Like so:
But no embed. Just big blank space.
hmmm, interesting. Thar she be.
But when I went to "preview" the message in "Reply" there was no display. When I submitted, there was no display.
Exited, came back in, Voila!
Curious.
In doing "Preview" of this edit, again, no display.
Think I'll submit. Wait one.
Well, no display ... until ... exit thread and re-enter thread. Now display like all is normal. Strange.

Re: Trying to Embed a Video
I don't think this is a board software problem but a browser problem. I can also see the problem in Chrome, but not IE. If someone knows some detail about <iframe> behavior that might explain the problem please let me know.

Re: Trying to Embed a Video
All work fine in IE8. Must be a Chrome thing.
No problem, really. Just surprised me.

More contrast?
The new like/dislike icons are a little hard to see clearly, more contrast might help, it could just be me also?
AbE... red/green maybe?

Re: More contrast?
I agree.
And the like/dislike buttons need to be reversed, putting the like first.
Perhaps to get more contrast, just do a plus and a minus, a bit larger, with no round button behind it? That should be easily seen.

Re: More contrast?
They both appear to be a yellow circle with a blue dot. Is there any difference between the two?

Re: More contrast?
Another strange bug... when I gave a plus to Cs message and refreshed, the member rating of C disappeared...when I reversed it and refreshed it reappeared??
Didn't happen with Jar, just thought I would experiment a bit, I gave both a + but C member ranking disappears as Jars doesn't after a refresh?
AbE... It seems that if a member rating is 0 then nothing shows, when i gave C a + and it brought C from a - 4.1 back to 0.

Re: More contrast?
I'm trying to balance subtle (an earlier request) with discernible (this request). I improved the contrast, people should let me know how well this is working for them.
The order of the icons has been reversed.

Re: More contrast?
Now I can at least see that it is a + and - sign.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: More contrast?
Getting better.
Do your graphic skills let you do a button which has a plain black background and the plus or minus in white or yellow? That would be great contrast.

Changes to MSG, THREAD and FORUM dBCodes
I have changed the way that the [msg], [thread] and [forum] dBCodes display. A negative value for the message number, thread ID and and forum ID no longer has any effect. All information is now included in a hoverbox.
For example, [msg=39] used to display like this, and it had no hoverbox:
It now displays like this and has a hoverbox:

And given the current makeup of the membership, if a creationist finds himself in the + area, should he be pleased or worried?
He/she should be pleased that the secularist majority likes his/her stuff, being one of the good ole boys/girls.
Being a Biblical literalist ID creationist, I'm satisfied with my minus rating, given the mindset of the majority who vote.
I don't think there's many creationists out there voting.
ABE: I Just noticed that my minus rating dropped from -69.2, where it's been for a while to -57.1 rather suddenly.
What ever did I say wrong to get that many pluses so suddenly?
