Talk:Portal:Portals

Very nice ... The eyeball still freaks me out. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:55, 19 December 2006 (EST)

Portal Cell Width

Maybe I'm speaking prematurely, but when I open the portal, the cells look great. After everything loads, the cells each get really wide (about twice as wide as they should). The images stay left-justified. Fixable? Or is that in your queue? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:05, 21 December 2006 (EST)

• Hmmm. I'm not getting that in either FF2 or IE7. What version of Firefox are you running? What screen resolution?--Hardvice (talk) 17:12, 21 December 2006 (EST)
  • Okay, it was happening at my work computer, not my home computer. It's fine on Firefox. My work computer is, I don't know, like 10 years old probably (thank you, inner city elementary schools!) I'll find out when I head back to work tomorrow. Otherwise, let's just see if it happens to anybody else. Thanks for checking up on it! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:36, 21 December 2006 (EST)
    • Yeah, I bet that's it. Old versions of IE don't support CSS very well, particularly CSS positioning, and all of the portals use fixed positioning for the image links.--Hardvice (talk) 17:42, 21 December 2006 (EST)
      • So you're golden unless you work for Harrisburg City School District, or are my grandmother. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:45, 21 December 2006 (EST)

Article Series

• Do these need a separate presence in the portal navigation? If so, where do we put them?--Hardvice (talk) 01:21, 26 December 2006 (EST)
  • I'm not sure I understand. Do what need a separate presence? The 9 portals you have listed? I think they are fine where they are. As for the articles being listed, they're under the categories, right? ... Unless I'm totally not understanding you... - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:36, 26 December 2006 (EST)
    • That could have been clearer, huh? I meant the article series ... Jessica's victims, etc. Should there be a way to see the rlated articles grouped together (like a portal for the series) or at least portal links to the series "main" articles themselves. I'm just thinking out loud, mostly.--Hardvice (talk) 01:44, 26 December 2006 (EST)
      • Thanks for the clarification. ... No, I think they're fine as they are. Reasoning: it's the very slight difference between a category and a topic. All the weapons can be categorized as weapons, the publications as publications, etc. However, Jessica's vics may fall under different categories. Certainly HRG (or AWI or whatever) has articles that fall under a multititude of categories - but all the same topic. I think the links in the series bars are fine in the article space. Now, that said, I am not at all opposed to having them in the portals - I just don't think they're necessary. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:51, 26 December 2006 (EST)

Formatting Oddities

• Check out these two images: 1, 2. The first is from my desktop, the second from my laptop. Both are running the exact same version of FF at the exact same resolution and with the same extensions (in fact, I'm using the same profile for both). Both screenshots were taken with no edits between them. I cleared the cache on both machines before capping them. I'd love to fix the formatting problem in the second shot, but I have no idea what's causing it; it seems to be affecting all of the portals and wasn't last night, even on this machine.
  
  Is anybody else seeing this? Does anybody have any suggestions? It looks like it's still producing the full-sized <div> for the images, but it isn't stretching the images to fit. Color me confused.--Hardvice (talk) 12:49, 1 January 2007 (EST)
  • Never mind, now it's back to normal. Nothing changed. Weird.--Hardvice (talk) 23:32, 1 January 2007 (EST)
