Right now, links in notices are very opaque - users really have no idea where they go when they click on them. For example, in this notice:
<p class="entry-content">Testing! <a href="http://ur1.ca/106o"; rel="external">http://ur1.ca/106o</a></p> The user has no clue where http://ur1.ca/106o goes. I think that's less than ideal. I think the notice should have this markup instead: <p class="entry-content">Testing! <a href="http://candrews.integralblue.com"; rel="external">http://ur1.ca/106o</a></p> The notice is displayed the same, but now users can hover over links and their browser will tell them where they'll end up. I committed this change to 0.9.x: http://gitorious.org/statusnet/mainline/commit/ebb52efeb48212626d41a79b9d7e4f505323d074 Another option I debated was to keep the href as the short url, but add an alt attribute to the <a> tag with the long url. How does this approach sound? ~Craig _______________________________________________ StatusNet-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.status.net/mailman/listinfo/statusnet-dev
