Development blog / Re: Now with 97% more visuals!

It's something that can be done, yes.
Ideally, I would use that to differentiate blog authors from commentators (commenters?). It's been seen done this way, at least!

Yup. We are little puppies who strive for their self esteem to survive in this wicked world!
That is why wedge is what it is today. Because we all did our best. :)

What do you mean?
And yes I'll add a setting to show it on the left.

TW was RTD's redemption. Now it may be his downfall...
Ah, well. It's not like I expect TW to be any good after COM's fiasco for me... :^^;:

rev 893
(7 files, 11kb)
* Cleaned up more DELETE FROM entries. Inspired by the latest commit. (ManagePermissions.php, ManageMedia2.php, Subs-Media.php, ScheduledTasks.php, Subs-Scheduled.php)
* French translation. Also, I believe our separator for floating point is a comma, not a period. (index.french.php)
* One-liner replacement for number_format. I'm sorry, I'm just like that. Please don't look at me that way. (Subs.php)

rev 891
(13 files, 20kb)
- Don't call JSE on mini-menu strings that won't be shown in the first place. (Display.php, Display.template.php)
* Harmonized string names for mini-menus and added descriptions to all of them. Removed all related strings that weren't used anywhere else. (Display.php, index.language.php, topic.js)
! Fixed Close button not showing up on zoomed items when double-clicking them (happened only if no further zoom level was available.) (zoomedia.js)
! The number of new PMs was being tested twice per page. Removed it from the menu array, and kept the one in the menu builder. (Subs.php)
* New PM indicator was ugly (red text on dark background), replaced it with the usual 'New' icon. (Subs.php, index.css)
* Replaced New icons with versions that don't show white pixels around them on dark backgrounds. Uh. (new.gif)
* IE details. They're still heavily broken. I don't care for now. (index.ie6.css, index.ie7.css)
- Removed .postarea { margin: 0 0 0 15em }, as it's useless in display:table mode. This will, as you guessed correctly, break IE6 and IE7 even more. And again: I don't care for now. I'll fix that when I feel like it. (sections.css)

Some people aren't too happy with it (like, it has no arrow/visual clue that the div can be expanded, except for the small part of it that shows up), but it can be improved.

Thing is, now that SMF2 is BSD, anyone (anyone!) can make their own SMF fork... They don't *have* to wait for Wedge if they want to implement something, or have someone implement it for them.
(Of course, if they want to build something upon Wedge itself, they'll have to wait for Wedge's license to become BSD itself. Or join our development team of course. When we have 'positions' to fill.)

I never followed up on this thretopic.
Anyway, in addition to the posts above, these are of interest:
?topic=6134 (in the private area)
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=255510.msg1665654#msg1665654
The latter being my patch code for adding threaded view to SMF.
I'm trying to find a 'right' way to do this, I mean in terms of usability.
Maybe this could be a clue: if there are new posts, switch to flat mode. If there are no new posts, switch to threaded mode by default. Guests will have threaded by default.
Of course this threaded view could be disabled at admin level, or maybe at board level (e.g. blog vs forum).
I don't know... It's just that I've been fascinated by this for quite some time (since I made an implementation in early 2008), so it's probably got some interest, even if it's not a 'mandatory' feature in my opinion.
Also re: beginning of the topic:
- XML-RPC, what's your current opinion on this? Our discussion on trackbacks made me want to implement this without using that protocol. I still think it'd be best to avoid it, but we could 'simply' add it, and allow blog authors to be the only ones allowed to view a trackback.
- Posting from email: did you look into their code, then? Is there any magic behind it?
