However, when I am signed in, the users are reported like this:

Note the folks in ( ). These seem to be folks who have selcted the "remain hidden" option. But clearly their attempt is thwarted. Somehow, by selecting the hidden option, I can see other people who are hidden, which kinda defeats the feature.

as a freak, I want to appear normal by not letting people know how often I am on this thing. programming glitch

Fixed. I'm surprised it took this long for somebody to report it. So, anonymous users... are now even more anonymous than before.

Eh, I don't hate it, but the text along the top is making me panic, so it's kinda hard to get a handle on the other stuff that may or may not deserve my scorn.

what exactly about the text causes panic?

The part that advises me not to panic.

If you really want a big thrill...

1) Expand your browser as big and wide as possible.

(maximize to full-screen or whatever)

2) Go here:

MAGOOOO, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAAAAAAINNNN~!

It may lead to a significantly less big thrill but just fixed the escalating font size by reducing settings for the default body font-size:1.2em down to 1em.

That way it wont get increasingly bigger (1.2x, 20% with every subsequent quote of someone else.

Ha, can't believe that was a default.

Folks are welcome to have another look, especially via their mobile phones (and yeah, via smartphones and iPhones that can display regular web pages just fine):

http://m.brooklynian.com

One note: when your phone is getting lousy coverage this bare-bones theme loads in *lightning* fast compared to the regular site.

I will probably take a look at optimizing basics like colors etc. over the next few days but we're going to keep it as image-free as possible to help it be more polite for limited mobile phone display capabilities (namely, screen size) and erratic data speeds.

I'll post here once it's been updated again.

Caveat: the quote function may need more testing. It *DOES* actually quote (even quotes of quotes) via the shorthand code that appears, so have no concern about "empty" blockquote tags. They will in fact be filled in properly when you submit the post.

Thanks!

I think this was directed at me, right? It happens when I click onto any neighborhood- it starts to load correctly, and then it spits me down to the middle of the page.

Ok, so it looks like the 'quote' button isn't working either....sigh. Annoyed.

Quote, quote

I like the new recent posts set up.

I would make the "category/neighborhood" a little bigger, but it is much improved.

Am I logged on? Mougar is that you?

BTW, will the private messaging be improved? In the past we could see sent msgs, outbox, deleted messages, etc.

now we can't

Actually, there's no need for an outbox or sent message view with the new Private Message system, since all of your PMs are in one place. The only thing I think you can't do with the new system is see when somebody reads your message (i.e. the message won't move from outbox to sentbox after it gets read).

I don't recall being able to see deleted messages in the old system? What are you referring to?
