If threads get really "wide" on ST, does anyone else see the font getting smaller?

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Oct 15 '08, 09:42

I was going to try and post an image, but maybe it's just my settings?

Responses:

sure. but why does st leave so much white space on the right side of the screen? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:45 25
- I can't think of a good way to use that space. Not wrapping subjects at a decent width makes them very hard to read. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:47 22
  - you only have the table set to be 610px wide. why not just make it bigger? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:49 16
    - Because then it looks ugly. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:00
    - maybe it should be custimizable to our login. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:51 14
      - You mean like in the "Change Info" page? That could probably be easily implemented. - JaxSean Oct 15, 10:01 4
        
        Unfortunately, the logo won't stretch ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:02 2
        
        make the logo fade to gray and just put a gray background in the table cell. - JaxSean Oct 15, 10:09 1
        
        Sounds like a good idea. I'll see what I can do. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:26
        
        CHANGE WE NEED! -- nm - Obama Oct 15, 10:01
      - isn't there a function in php to get the monitor settings? - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:53 8
        
        using javascript, yes, but visual layout stuff is no small undertaking. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:53 7
        
        huh, ok. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:55 6
        
        when does this thing shrink the font? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:57 5
        
        when it works ... now -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:58 4
        
        follow the yellow brick road, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road -- nm - munchkins Oct 15, 10:00 1
        
        hhheeellpp mmmeeee! hhhheellllllppp mmmeeee! -- nm - The Fly Oct 15, 10:12
        
        when? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 10:00 1
        
        Hrm, so it's got two bugs. The tenth level should be small, and it needs to keep track of the entrance and exit values of the counter. Hrm. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:01
  - true, but since they wrap already at a certain size. - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:48 3
    - I could put ST in the center, and have white space on both sides, but ... people wouldn't like that. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:49
    - I run it on a 24" Widescreen, so I have a lot of space. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:49 1
      - I'm on my laptop, which is widescreen, and it has lots of space as well. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:49
  - more ads? Keep the money flowing! :) -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 09:47
- racist -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 15, 09:46 1
  - lol -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:46
How many yards have you had today? -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 15, 09:45
It's a feature to prevent the layout from breaking. I think there might be a minor bug in it, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:44 2
- ah. I guess that makes sense. It's weird looking. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:45 1
  - Indeed. And it's not behaving entirely correctly - for example, zork's post should be regular size. - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:46
Yep...it's been there for a while...I guess to stop the board from getting obnoxiously wide when a thread goes long. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 09:44 1
- Also, as someone pointed out yesterday, you can read it in a munchkin voice. Which should make fighty threads pretty hilarious. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:45
Bery was explaining before that it's a feature. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 15, 09:43
actually, it's happening on zork & krusty's posts down below. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:42 1
- the code shows [b class="tinylist"]zork [/b] [i class="tinylist"]... -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:44
