Bring up the gimp!

CowbellGuy · October 25, 2006, 07:57:20 PM

I would have bet my house on that reply from you.

That's what I did. But then, you know my Linux partisanship well.

You bet your house on that reply from JTW? Bold move, Kyle. :p

(Incidentally, gimp is definitely an option under OS X, but it requires X11. I avoid X11 as much as possible, so I didn't even consider that.)

See, that's what I was thinking. Any piece of free software could in principle be compiled on OS/X, provided the right libraries etc were available. Although I didn't know about the X11 issue. Does that also cause problems for, say, tkcvs?

[quote CowbellGuy]As promised, I'm going to start adding new features and will keep a running log here as they're added. If there's anything you hate, just speak up.

Change User Name: In the Control Center, under the Edit My Profile option, you can now change your user (login) name. I've done this manually for a few people in the past, but now you can just do it yourself. If you change your user name, please log out and back in before posting.

On this one individual post - anybody besides me seeing an enormous amount of blank space at the top of the page before the message itself appears?

CowbellGuy · October 26, 2006, 10:19:22 AM

Which post? Flat or threaded? What browser? What OS? Got a screenshot? I can't find a problem.

Threaded, IE 6.0, Windows XP

I can report from home whether it also appears this way on Firefox.

CowbellGuy · October 26, 2006, 12:25:14 PM

Thanks. I checked it on my copy of IE for Windows and I'm not having any display issues here. Anyone else? Could you send me a screenshot?

CowbellGuy · October 26, 2006, 12:28:25 PM

Oh wait. I think I know what the problem is. If your window is too narrow (so that the main section is narrower than the input form at the bottom of the page, the main contents will shift below the menubar in IE. It's an IE issue (one among many). Not much I can do about it. I could possibly make the posting section a bit narrower. I'd suggest just using Firefox if you can. Hopefully IE7 will take care of some of the bugs.

Beeeej · October 26, 2006, 12:34:47 PM

How could that be the problem when it only happens when viewing one post?

My window is plenty wide.

Beeeej · October 26, 2006, 12:35:21 PM

How does one take a screenshot in Windows?

PrintScreen will capture the entire screen for you to paste into your image editing application of choice. Alt+PrintScreen will only capture the current window.
