This should replace the old miserable web interface to the forums.
Thanks to Vladimir Panteleev for an awesome job writing this!
Nice! One suggestion for improvement: don't change the font size based
on the browser window size. I'm not a web programmer, but I'm sure
someone here can suggest a better way of setting the font size.
That's a tough one... This behavior is part of an effort to make the
interface look good on any screen size. This doesn't include just PCs,
but also mobile devices.
The advantage of the current approach is that it does not rely on
JavaScript - it's completely CSS-based. It's not just the font size,
either - the navigation column on the left is hidden if the viewport is
not wide enough, and some other sizes are adjusted.
While I could use JavaScript to query the viewport window on load time
and apply the adjustments only on page load, it'd have to mean relying
on JavaScript, and you'd still see the font size change when you resize
the window and click a link.
I don't think having a "font size" JavaScript widget is a better
solution. It'd mean having one canned experience optimized for one
device be the default for all devices. Detecting user-agents or other
complicated logic is not something I wish to go down, either.
Do you know of CSS media queries? These together with some <meta> tags
for mobile browsers make for a simple and powerful way to have a perfect
layout on every device and resolution (on IE CSS conditionals can be used).
I would highly recommend this approach.
(Although I personally do not mind the current approach too much, apart
from the fact that parts of the text do not scale)
just noted my answer was not quite up-to-date ;)
