Oh.

But this means there will be bugs in plenty other areas to come.
Are you sure that's necessary?

That's why I said the status field didn't have to just have two values -- unapproved and approved.
0: unapproved, unmoderated
1: approved
2: deleted (recycled)
3: postponed for later?

Hmm, I've noticed a strange behavior on the demo site that isn't on my local site.
When doing floating point manipulations in the wecss class, any floating point number is stored internally as "1,23" instead of "1.23". It always retains that comma.

I have to go, but maybe someone can tell me what's happening? I suspect it's somewhere in the setlocale stuff, but I don't know how to fix for now. The problem is that I'm relying on the periods as they're compatible with the CSS syntax, unlike the commas.

You mean its position?

Something like this?

Pseudo-deleted doesn't have to have the same internal status id as not-yet-approved.

I don't really see how it could hurt performance as long as we have a serious index on the status field...?

We obviously rename that 'delete'.

*facepalm* Yes, good plan.
Lol, don't worry, I stopped counting long ago the number of times I had some obvious action to take and I did it the complicated way. I guess we all sometimes need some perspective from the thing we're right into. ;)

That wasn't the plan from what I remember;

we didn't really get into any conclusion as to what we wanted to do,   just getting rid of the existing bin setup for something cleaner.
Yeah, I remember that what bothered me the most was the inability to get a id != 2 for the recycle bin. Since it was enabled by default at install time, it's always a hardcoded number. That's my first reason for using the moderation system for post deletion. Other reasons: (1) UI is more natural to user if they can restore from the original topic, (2) no more bullshit with multiple deleted posts in a single topic resulting in multiple topics in the recycle bin, etc... It's all handled logically if we use post statuses to delete them.

Nah, I made many tries you know :)

The w being separate from the edge has to be very subtle, in order to keep some balance between the text and the logo behind it. The more detail you add, the less you'll see the logo as 'natural' in the end. I always had this problem with the old logo: it had *one* detail too many (the horizontal line on the 'we'). And it wasn't graphic enough. I started making tests with the wedge logo next to the text, but it was a bit dull. Fine for corporate use, but I'm not that dull myself.

I've made yet another attempt. It's directly in use at the top of this page. Tell me what you think, guys... (I know, the difference is barely noticeable.)

As for the Segoe UI Light logo: well, I wouldn't say it's 70s, to me it's 2010s, it's the kind of font that tends to have a growing success these days. It looks nice, clean and stylish. Microsoft had some flair when they decided to use it on their marketing material for Windows 8 really.
My problems with that logo: (1) you're never sure whether the logo behind is a ship, a paper plane or a wedge, (2) monochromatic. Too much brown. Lacks a complementary color. (3) At small sizes, the 'wedge' text is barely readable.

Right now, I think the current test logo tends to be a solution to all of these.

I was in two minds about that. I basically stole the code from my own mod there for that part, didn't see too much point reinventing the wheel.

Re: recycle bin, I thought we'd agreed (although it was long ago...) that we ccould simply do it like here: a Hide (Unapprove) button that would set posts to status!=1 or something... Then if you hide a post, you get the ability to either restore it (Publish), or restore it and set its posting date to the current time (Publish to date). Which is practical on a blog when you want to publish in intervals. (Only works if nothing was posted after the message.)

rev 903
(9 files, 11kb)

* Don't show a submenu on mail settings (admin area) if the mail queue is disabled. (Admin.php)

! Fixed accidental revert from the last timezone commit. (ManageSettings.php)

* Changed 'Mail' label to 'Email Settings' in the Server & Maintenance admin menu. (Admin.language.php)

* I thought it would be amusing if the redirection topic strings actually used number_context()... (index.language.php, MoveTopic.template.php)

* Very minor fixes/changes. (ManageMedia.template.php, sections.css)

* French translation. (index.french.php)

I'd be curious to know the average age of future Wedge users. I'd bet it'll be higher than Smf's Eheh. Even Dragooon can't change that!

Actually, none of your stuff seems to have contrast in the areas that typical colour blindness would have a problem with.
It's pure luck then! ;)

No... the original code had an in_array to select only the regions of interest, and IIRC there was an isset for something else at the end before actually adding it to the loop but off hand I can't remember what.
Nope, at least nothing you committed. Rev 897 is where I made the change, and it's just basically the addition of array_flip and isset, and the removal of in_array and continue. (continue is okay but if there's only going to be one line after it, might as well skip it... :^^;:)

Right now am dealing with the fact that the imperative scheduled system is completely broken (and in fact I'm dubious about how it ever worked when I tested it originally because it shouldn't have done),
I never tested it, myself. (I mostly test my own additions, as for the rest I'm hoping our beta testers do some work, I have my hands full :P)

will commit that when I've fixed it and finished the feature that actually uses it.
