I got dreams so wide like a country mile

Interesting bug - my profile page is not showing my default userpic - it's showing my first uploaded userpic for some reason. This behaviour is persistant even if I change my default icon to something else or set no default icon.

Must check bugzilla and see if that one's in there. ETA: yep, there it is.

I wonder if something has changed in the site scheme - the top bar now squashes up on my phone screen so the links are all on top of each other.

I wrote/am writing some code! Which, at present, works but is in-elegant. Such is life, I suppose. Tomorrow is for finding an elegant solution to the problem.

Ah-ha! I can see what I'm typing - w00t!

OMG, open beta date set! I actually cleaned out this journal again so that I don't end up getting comments on both sites in the transition process, but it's going to be so soon! I wonder how the cross posting interface is working out...

Posting as I play...

1) Recompiling my style under core2 requires editing a couple of properties and that's it. Yay for not having the double negative variable naming for turning off custom comments pages :)

2) My current style, using core1, is using the new views array and so has extra items in the menu bar. Cute.

3) No overall div for the sidebar created by the sidebar primary function. Looking at core, I see it's in the page print, function. I would suggest that anything which is printing out a lognical grouping of content like that ought to print out the containing tags for that grouping itself, but that's personal preference - I doubt it'll make people override.

4) No CSS class to indicate the current view on the views list.

5) The tell a friend button on the userlinks toolbar isn't transparent like the rest.

6) While we're building in tags functionality, how about a tags_cloud function for the sidebar?

7) The basic comments layout is displaying with the userpic on its own line, which is annoying. Might be a width issue, but it never used to do that.

8) There is an unclosed h3 tag on the day page.

9) Page summary on Friends Page doesn't list the journal the entry's held in. (You can pinch the code for this from my style if you like - I just modded the existing Core2 stuff).

10) No tag counts as tool tips on tag links

11) For consistancy's sake, can the Reply link have brackets around it like the (Parent) and (Thread) links for comments?

Obviously, not all of these are bugs - some of them are things which I think are going to cause a large percentage of style authors to override the core functions.

If I were to want to look at the DW code just in order to check whether something is intended behaviour or not without any plans to actually write any or anything, does anyone know where I would look?

(hey, look, userpics!)

w00t! Re-importing comments works just like I hoped it would (i.e. it just adds the latest comments to posts, rather than double importing or anything like that).

Also, tags workaround - tags hit memcache when you use them, it seems, so I just opened edit tags for this entry, selected everything, saved the changes then went back and reversed them. Work of a moment.

Also, converting LJuser tags worked like a charm!

Huh, that's weird. Something's changed in my style. I thought it was just because I was viewing it on the smaller screen of my ultra portable, but it's not - something has changed in the CSS and now the page width is wrong. How bizarre! I wonder if the CSS cleaner is now cleaning up the IE only hack I put in to fix the box model...

Edit: Nope, got it. It's the navigation strip. When I had none of the nav strip related boxes ticked on my journal, it was showing the nav strip. Now that I've set it to only show for people not in my circle (i.e. not on my journal) the style works fine again. So not a styles bug, but probably an NS bug. I'll just go see if it was a change to the way the setting is recorded (i.e. if changing it back will now fix the problem).

Son of edit: Check. Now I've unchecked the box and resaved my settings, I'm getting the expected behaviour. Awesome.

It's just about possible that I could get to like this getting up in the mroning lark, you know. At this school, I arrive way before the teachers I'm working with (to miss the traffic) and I can sit here and catch up on email and just warm up gently to the day. If I had my own desk where I could avoid saying good morning to people, it would be even better!

I still haven't imported all my old entries over here yet, but this is feeling more and more like home to me. It feels odd when I go over to LJ and see the wrong style. I'm going to wait to run the importer until the comments engine is up too. That way in the mean time if anything weird comes up I'll be able to test it from a non-imported account, IYSWIM.
