Right then. The buddies / favourited blogs should now be highlighted again - that was just a CSS mishap that I didn't spot last night. The option to switch between views has now been made a little bit clearer, by the addition of the little 'cog' symbol, and an update to the text The list is split by days again. The favourites list is also sorted by recency now, rather than user number. I get the feeling that the biggest issue raised is just 'why?'. The code that powers the site now spans ten years of fiddling. In that time, I've developed various ways of working - different ways of structuring my code; different systems for organising the layers of software. Some have worked wonderfully well, and others have proven to be a rats nest of a bad perm. And in that ten years, the expectations of internet users and the way we access information has also moved a massive step. Occasionally this means that I have to make seemingly unnecessary ain't-broke-don't-fix-it changes. In this particular case, [developer talk alert] I'm working towards reducing the number of CSS styles used across the site, and reworking my pages into reusable units that I can have more control over (a perfect example of this was the "watched threads" box that I was able to add in for V'rap). The component-based approach is in itself a movement towards helping the site work better on a wider range of devices. For example, the site could recognise when you're viewing on a very small device, and serve a simpler set of components in a more linear layout. Feedback *always* welcomed

Well done. Good explanation. I imagine you are a better coder than I am now, I haven't done that for more than 10 years. |
