Site Technical Issues – I’m going to do some coding 47

Guys,

I’m going to take a run at improvements and error corrections this weekend, so please post anything and everything that’s been bothering you in this thread so I have a working list.

One of my goals is to try to solve some backend resource issues that will allow me to figure out how much hosting we really need since I’m miffed at our current host for breaking everything without warning me first.

Some issues are obvious (the focus not going to the text reply box, for example) but don’t be shy about posting something you think I already know (or even something I’ve failed to fix before).

Finally, for my ease of use in tracking, I’d prefer one top-level comment per issue so I can tick ’em off individually when done (and we have a natural space to talk about ways in which the fix isn’t working).

        Indentation for replies-to-replies (like this) seems to have broken.

          Odd. That’s a core WP setting that somehow got reset to 2.

        Thank you.

        In related news, SB Nation had a redesign few days ago (I more-less regularly lurk at Sickel’s site). Now, you can only see if there are any new comments if you disable ad blocker on the site. Remember it when your keystroke harvesting scheme financially underperforms.

          I go on the Kings site from time to time…it’s pretty good. The last time I was on the Raiders site it was still a haven for the scum of the Earth…I hear there is also a site dedicated to the Oakland Athletics Baseball Club but I can’t confirm this information.

          But seriously, folks...

      If we can ask for more this might take awhile:

      -More Bartolo
      -More La Potencia
      -Moar runs!

      Clearly the solution here is to add a cat to the banner image. Anyone want to photoshop?

        I vote for fewer cats. Would accept more otters.

            Sorry Charlie, only good-tasting otters get to be StarKist.

    and the way bold is default when you start a comment and sometimes you have to do something to make it unbold.

    but mostly cats.

      We could just recode Future Ed to reduce the impact of this one.

        cost benefit on that one.

        it could take years to get it right. I see it sometimes and just don’t care enough to touch the mouse

      There was! And I wanted to post this cat for the photoshopping of the banner.

    Speaking of keybording, I like to hit “tab” after I “type” my “comment.” I don’t like having to use a mouse or the touch screeen to enter my comment.

    Hitting tab now launches the cursor (Correct term?) to the top of the page

    New Post dialogue box buttons do not generate the correct code for images, i.age size, and links, iirc.

    Kate Upton is not giving me a backrub while I post.

      The shoveling muscles, so finely honed in January and February, needed a little WD-40 to get going this morning.
