h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Don't Panic, Jackruss. As was mentioned before, the old skins, including Brunel will eventually be ported over to function on the Pliny framework so your eyes won't have to .

Ta!

its good news and merry christmas BG, and what crimbo swag did you get

You might need to refresh the conversations a couple of times, to clear out some cache, but I can verify that the page now autorefreshes. Fixed on Boxing day none the less!

Jackruss, either say what doesn't work or quit it.

We know there are some things that are yet to be brought over, what we've done is a massive step forward to allowing us to bring the rest of the functionality across.

If there's something you know of that you find makes using h2g2 easier for you, functionality not design, and hasn't been brought over yet, then please let us know and we'll try and get on to it.

But if you just keep coming up with "everything" and other random vague things, then we can't help you.

Grim, you'll probably need to force refresh or clear your cache to get the update.

Actually, since my RL bday is on the 23rd, I consider this announcement one of my gifts.

that was a pretty cool coincidence!

Okie dokey. I'll do a reboot on my tablet and see how that goes.

BRB

looks like I'll be in "brunel" on me own then

you and me both


right I'm off

OK... I believe this convo list is autorefreshing for me now. Is it feasible to add a little asterix to the page title when a new post is made like the Convo Popup does?

Yes, I'm lazy and I like my passive notifications.

I'll have a look into it Grim.

I'm away this weekend, so can't code much. But I am setting up my laptop to work as a mobile development environment if I manage to get any spare time

Well, if we are getting nit picky, I'd like the links to open in a new window, or at least in a new tab.

Cool idea, Witty.

I have a druther, if it's not too much trouble: make the text as dark as you can/dare.

Right now, I can't read it very well. I know I'm more visually handicapped than most, but I suspect there might be others who would benefiti.

Links *do* open in a new tab, Witty...

Just to be contrary, is there a way to *stop* My Conversations from auto-refreshing? I don't like my computer doing things I haven't told it to... Yes, I know I'm strange

They don't open in a new tab in Chrome, Amy.

Yes, I know I'm strange


oh no she isn't!
(Button's part)

I think the new Pliny is great for conversations. As a former volunteer, I've been using it for months. Well done Pastey and the gang.

But it's not much use for entries. It doesn't display them properly so about one fifth of the Edited Entries are hard to read or unreadable, and the editor makes subtle changes to the entries so I can't use it.

Ooooooh... I use Firefox, so I didn't know it doesn't in Chrome
