Does anyone else has something to add? Pretty please? I'm not sure what's best here.
If you explain the matter in a newbie way I'll glad you with my opinion.. :P

The Pub / Wedge and International Domain Names (IDNs)
« on April 10th, 2012, 11:19 AM »
Stupid question: if the server supports non Latin domains (both directly and both using the Punycode hack), does Wedge work properly on them..?

Ok, no problem. It was just an idea. If you say it's not convenient to do that I trust you :)

Except that there are a lot of people who actually like having a physical QWERTY keyboard on their phone, for example. Just as there are people who would actually quite welcome that.

Not everyone wants a touchscreen phone, I don't own one, I own a smartphone with basic keys on it, but I know plenty of people who actively use a Blackberry for that reason.
I posted the remote control image just for that! ;)

Here's the thing: things sometimes stay as they are because no-one thought to improve them, and sometimes they stay as they are because it's reasonably optimised as it is.
No, I think that things cannot stay as they are.. it's impossibile they can't evolve.
IMO the process works like this: phase 1, object is created. phase 2, object has small optimizations over and over again. phase 3, object is reinvented. phase 4, small optimizations... phase 5: reinvented.
Here's the thing: optimizations are sacred but there's a time where things need to be rethought and reinvented. Then before another rethink there need to are optimizations! :)

You know what's really weird though? Google+ works how we're leaning towards - you create circles for things, which is a form of groups, and control which groups see content. In fact, if you look at the way things are, it's even closer a model to what G+ does than anything else, but I guess that's wrong and we should implement purely for the lowest common denominator, despite it not being the general baseline that works best? (Specifying a list of names for each topic is pointless, especially if it's the same list of names each time. Surely then a group would be a FAR better solution?)
I said that groups can remain. "personal" permissions can be added upon groups (to replace or add things).

I love groups I hardly ever set privacy to something different then any groups I would set up. For the few times I might... I would just make a new group with the new list of users.
This is the same argument of companies that produced phones like this:
http://ticker.ttsh.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/dvp-open.jpg

Or remote controls like this:
http://[url][url][url]http://ii.alatest.com/product/full/8/8/JUmbo-Universal-Remote-Control-0.jpg[/url][/url][/url]

Then someone rethought the way they was built.
You cannot think "I always did this, so everyone should do this", or "I always did that, so it won't change ever"....

And what happens if you create a contact list for all your friends, what then? Isn't that *exactly* when you would use groups?
Ok but what if you want THAT particular topic to be viewed only by the users A, B and C and another topic to be viewed by all but can post only D, F, H and a media file that can be seen by G, R, J but only G and J can post comments, or in a board only members T,B,G,D can start polls but everyone can see em.

Of course you can create groups but there's no need to do that just to have permissions for a single topic/board/media/etc..
It's more polish if permissions are applied to the single elements. Maybe groups can remain, and single permissions are added to those..

(The reason I was pissy earlier in this thread is that we discussed it for days and days and this wasn't brought up before)
I know and you are perfectly right. I probably didn't see those topics/posts... :^^;:

groups are ok but really limited
Care too say why?
Cause you have to create one in order to specify something. It would be nice to have permissions to create topics, permissions to view boards, to comment medias, ecc based on the single users. Admin would have a list of users that have those permissions for each "area" (boards, topics...) and could add people or delete someone in the list. IMHO it would be much more clean and simple (I'd ditch groups at all - maybe leave just admin and moderators - and have "singular" permissions only)..

Finally! :D
This is really useful, groups are ok but really limited. :)
And you didn't want to say this earlier because...?
Because I can't follow every discussion.. :unsure:
I try to do my best and read and partecipate as much as I can though ;)

Hey. Was looking at your code, and... Where's the table-cell definition on #page? Where's the vertical-align?
Yay!! Now it finally works!!!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:
I need to recover the Nao statue I did some time ago! :D :D

Really latest question: now that everything works, the only thing that remains is the horizontal align :P
I tried with a text-align:center on #page but nothing.. I can't use a position:absolute;left:50% + negative margins because the vertical align wouldn't work anymore...

Really dunno what to say. Works for me in 11.62... :-/
Mistery.. :ph34r: :(
Quote from Nao on April 3rd, 2012, 02:29 PM
Okay, is your site height fixed, and is it going to remain fixed (in pixels)?
If yes, it's best to implement centering via a negative margin.
Unfortunately not.. :(
I try another bit, then I'll give up and use position:absolute + negative margins on home page (only) + media queries to avoid upper page being cropped in low resolutions..
