Notice your menu, options and thread pages change today?

Note the control panel has moved to the RESOURCES menu.

You'll note the the menu name is now MY WEBMASTERWORLD which has some cool new stuff and lots of personalization. Like MY FORUMS DASHBOARD if you have any forums selected. The EDIT MY FORUMS on the bottom of the menu allows you to pick the forums. The dashboard still needs a little TLC, and you get emails from new threads currently but that will be optional soon. Also, the list of forums shows as MY FORUMS on the menu, which may be moving to a new location.

Also notice MY PROFILE, which takes you to your profile and you can EDIT directly from the profile now without going to the control panel, there's a link at the top if it's your profile to edit.

EDIT YOUR PROFILE! There's a ton of settings you can choose to let potential clients, employers, or just fellow readers know more about you, your skills and a whole lot more. Explore all the new profile options, there's a lot there!

Notice the new button at the top of each thread that toggles FOLLOW THREAD and FOLLOWING THREAD on and off and you can see all of these threads from MY FOLLOWED THREADS of the new MY WEBMASTERWORLD menu.

Also, all the buttons and pagination is at the top and bottom of each thread to make it easier.

More things coming, and the names of things may change from what I've just posted but that's where we're at today.

Let us know what you think and any bugs you might find.

BTW, we know there's still some things that need fixing here and there and you'll notice them getting fixed as the new changes are rolling out.

I'm not thrilled that REPORT MESSAGE is hidden (for the noscript/no js guys


Sorry, the lack of javascript is such a minority, although a vocal one, but the majority of the world runs javascript. All the moms, pops, kids, except a few techies that don't like it not only love it but embrace it and demand more of it. Facebook is barely usable without javascript and some sites just flat kick the the page and go "THIS PAGE REQUIRES JAVASCRIPT" otherwise you get nothing so we didn't go that extreme, but we're heading deeper into javascript, not less.

It is possible to get the best of both worlds. That is, you could set up some special styling rules that allow for non-js folks to get a slightly different view. For example, you might use Modernizr [modernizr.com] which would give the non-js folks a class of "no-js" on the <html>, and you could then add some fallback styles like: 


.no-js .dropdown-menu {
  position: relative;
  display: block;
}


It's not terribly pretty, but it exposes all of those dropdown lists that they can't get access to without JavaScript. With a little additional styling effort, you could probably come up with something that looked more reasonable for those folks.

Edit: Darn fotiman, did you delete part of your post while I was responding to it?
Further edit: Whew, no, it was just a page break.
Unless, of course, you're also doing box-sizing: border-box (which I highly recommend).


:: detour to bootstrap.min.css ::

"box-sizing" occurs 18 times (that is, 6 sets of three, allowing for -moz- and -webkit-). One of them is 
*{-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box}

which would seem to make the other five redundant. The last one is inside an @media rule but that's only for search input.

:: wandering off to see what box-sizing officially means ::

Is there a definitive source? The Box Model page [w3.org] is silent and the Backgrounds and Borders page [w3.org] only mentions it in passing. The only discussion of box-sizing I can find is in an earlier draft [w3.org]. Or do I want the Basic User Interface page [w3.org]? I don't think "User Interface" is ever the first place I'd think of looking. Why is it here and not in Box Model?

Gosh, that's confusing. (Not the "box-sizing" concept. Just finding stuff at w3.org. Will they ever collect all of CSS3 into one nice alphabetized document as with CSS2?)

While not the definitive source, there's a good write up at [css-tricks.com...]

<digression>
This is surely the first time in human history that the behavior of MSIE 6 in "quirks" mode has been deemed to be better than the intended behavior of a real browser.
