Administrivia

Some bloggy adminy points with some questions:

1) Thank you to the person who just paid for my account to be upgraded to paid; I'm always very grateful when people do this, while slightly bemused; it was on my to-do list for payday, but that's not for a few weeks, danke.

2) I've been doing some more tweaks to my layout, it's still nowhere near finished but it's better than it was. However, mooism had problems with the tag cloud in the side column obscuring the text ox for commenting; this shouldn't happen in the code and I can't replicate it, is it happening to anyone else, if so can you let me know what browser you're using and send me a screenshot?

3) theweaselking had problems logging in with OpenID so commented on the LJ mirror of my post; I know the OpenID commenting setup here isn't ideal, and it's being worked on by the dev team, but does anyone else have problems enough to stop them commenting here? Would a walk-through/explanation help people? I'll be doing some more work on my idea for improving the taskflow at some point as well; knowing what problems people have would be good, but obviously it's a low priority until post-election.

Here is a support request regarding using OpenID from LJ. http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=5992 It seems there is a problem caused by the terminal slowness that LJ has been experiencing.


ETA: I'm not quite sure how I ended up on your post. :)

Ah, that might be it; it's not what he reported but it might be related.

LJs OpenID support has been crap since they set it up anyway, but still.

(and it matters not, could've been anything)

Screenshot. It's everything in the side column obscuring the comment box, whatever happens to be that far down the page.

[matgb]

Hmm, that really shouldn't be happening. Looks like the comment box has a min width defined or something, might only happen to logged out users; will have to fix that and text better, danke.

[matgb]

Aha, it happens on the ?mode=reply page, but not on the quick reply box that logged in users get. I rarely see the ?reply page, will have to test the settings more.

I think there may be a bug open for that on Dreamwidth's side, actually - I vaguely remember something similar going through my Bugzilla mail recently.
