[Bo] You are a MOQ ignorant, but I am impressed by your writing style and general knowledge.
[Krimel] Thank Bo, back acha! [Bo] A few days ago you wrote a piece about the future of ever more sophisticated communication gadgets, I've tried to keep up with this (gadgetry) but am lagging behind, however I'm capable of limiting the lines of my posts and wonder why some are completely oblivious of the problem this poses (having to open them in "reply" mode to read) It seems to emanate from DMB, but spreads like disease to other people's replies. Gav is hard enough to understand with his self-appointed orthography without the long lines in addition Can't you, as a computer wizard, tell them how to master this? I know that it belongs to the mail program, not to the computer as such, but still. [Krimel] Yeah, I e-mailed Horse about that back in March. I take it you are referring to the way those posts look on the MoQ site. At least at my house those e-mails are badly formatted but no stretched across the page. Actually I e-mailed Horse about that in March. It should be pretty simple to fix and the good news is the fix should correct all of the problems with past posts as well as any new ones. I believe the problem is that the web page that the posts appear on is unbounded. It either needs to have a setting in the code that limits page width to something like 1024 pixels or it needs a table in the right hand frame that is set to some fixed width. Either of these would set a limit to how wide the page can be. Web design is trickier than print design because in print design what you see is what you get. With web design there are a lot of variables like which web browser is someone using, what is their screen resolution, what are their browser settings. As people keep getting better and better hardware and widescreen displays the preferred width of webpage viewing has changed over the years. I think Horse intended to let the width of the browser float out to whatever width anyone chooses to view it in. Unfortunately, Dave and gav are using web based e-mail from Microsoft and Yahoo and those services don't seem to be inserting any line endings. As a result, the MoQ web page sees every paragraph as one big long line of text and formats itself to that width. I can't say specifically how to fix that on the site but I think it should be really easy. Actually he could easily fix Hopefully yours Bo Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/ No virus found in this incoming message.
