A few kilobytes won't kill anyone if it benefits the designBenoitRen wrote:Missagh wrote:Will probably add jQuery with the new design of the site regardless.
Not if it's up to me!
Of course one would need to apply the option from settings.Missagh wrote:A few kilobytes won't kill anyone if it benefits the designBenoitRen wrote:Missagh wrote:Will probably add jQuery with the new design of the site regardless.

About notifications for posts, I can look into it, but it might be distracting if the board gets busy.
jQuery can be very useful for design. Remember that the site needs to be attractive to users that did not exist when HTML was created. We know that the creative web designing is not your highest priority Benoit Currently, it is very out of date and needs a web 2.0 push to it. The falling snow effect existed before jQuery was created... jQuery cleaned it up and made it more smooth, which is a good thing. Not saying that we will add it, just proposing a positive view on the subject.BenoitRen wrote:jQuery isn't a benefit. It's a compatibility layer for programmers that are lousy at DOM manipulation and want to add effects that'll slow down the entire site like falling snow.
Because all shouts are in the same database table, there is no way to hide a shout (post notification) from users depending on their settings. It would require some heavy modification to pull that off I'm afraid.Zucca wrote:Of course one would need to apply the option from settings.
Are you sure? Since controlling displaying of new topics in shout box is already implemented in settings.Missagh wrote:Because all shouts are in the same database table, there is no way to hide a shout (post notification) from users depending on their settings.

No. It's both.BenoitRen wrote:jQuery is not a design tool. It's a scripting tool.
Web 2.0 is almost always a bad idea. But scaring away loyal visitors... I don't think so. Unless of course it get really bad. One can easily create content using jquery as helper without sticking fingers into "web 2.0".BenoitRen wrote:Missagh wrote:Currently, it is very out of date and needs a web 2.0 push to it.
Making it "Web 2.0" like a lot of other sites is a great way to scare away loyal visitors. It involves forgetting the K.I.S.S. principle.

jQuery is anything but clean from a code point of view. It encourages bad scripting.
Elaborate please.Making it "Web 2.0" like a lot of other sites is a great way to scare away loyal visitors. It involves forgetting the K.I.S.S. principle.
