Klaartje 2002-12-10 00:48:57 | Stephen, I presume that the 'last time played on this board' indication actually indicates the last time anyone played on this board. Would it be a good idea to change that to 'last time anyone played or posted a message in the chatbox'? That way, one could let others know someone wants to play. After I place a piece on the board, I can just sit and wait for someone to appear, there's no other way I can let people know I'm still waiting to play if it's been a while. |
Stephen Brooks 2002-12-10 16:32:10 | You mean make it the time since the most recent modification (either message or piece played)? OK then. I'll do that before I go to sleep. OK it seems to work now. Say if there appear to be any boogs.

Klaartje 2002-12-12 01:05:39 | Thank you for doing this (and so fast!) just because I asked! I hope you slept well. |
Klaartje 2002-12-30 04:56:50 | Stephen, since I've been a good girl and registered, I feel entitled to ask you for something again. Could you make a link back to the game overview page on the 'Congratulations! You have won'-page? And, I suppose, on the 'you lose'-page, but then I don't get to see it all that often ![]() After playing a game, I like to look at the stats and gloat, and pick a new victim. |
Stephen Brooks 2002-12-30 06:29:10 | I know this isn't obvious, but you can return from one of the board-pages to the board-selection screen at any time by clicking on the lower-half of the banner picture at the top (on the subtitle bit that says "Browser Wars"). Clicking on the upper 2/3rds will take you all the way up to the root page.

Klaartje 2002-12-30 07:15:43 | Wow. It works. Far out. Do you think anyone figures this out by themself? Well, I guess this means many people must be smarter than me ![]() Oh well. Just one more thing. If the lower half takes you to Browser war, and the upper two thirds take you to the index, how does the third one-sixth from below know which of these you want? ![]() |
Stephen Brooks 2002-12-30 08:47:38 | Erm... ![]() The "half" was counting table-elements (one of two) and the "2/3rds" was counting vertical length! Quite a few websites use "clicking on the title banner" as a way back to the root page - in fact when a site has a title banner that does not do this I'm fairly confused as to how to get back to the top. Many extend this idea when there are sub-sections by having the section name take you back up one level, which is what I did, but because it looks exactly like the non-sub-section parts where this doesn't work, it's trickier to figure out.
