No, I will work on the site off-line. I don't like it when people are whining about stuff when it's still in progress. It's not relevant. But I don't blame then as they can't possibly tell whether a feature or small details are finished or not.

another dilemma is when people are suggesting features which have already been adding to the site, but it's not shown yet, and I can't reveal it by saying "oh, that's already implemented" cos it would spoil the surprise effect.
and when the feature is official they say "HAHAHA! they listened to me!!!"..... that is quite funny... but what can we do?

this has nothing to do with the topic. But does sommeone know some person called joshua clayton or clayto or some shit sounding like that. Heard something tasty of his other day but couldn't understand danish lecturer when he told me the musicians name. Sounds a bit like autechre.

drunken: that is a perfect example of something that's already planned. remember i've mentioned the "messageboard filter" before? you'll simple tag your new topic as "my music promotion" and people will have the option to filter out (eg hide) such topics. other tags will be used to.
i like this concept better than regular categories as you'll still have the option to view ALL topics on one single page (just like today), but still have the oppurtunity to filter out various kind of topics. I for one will def. choose to view ALL topics, but I've seen several opinions on how much annoyance music spam might bring...
and it's a perfect tool to show ONLY music spam if you feel like checking out new music by xltronic members. news-items will also be tagged, same goes for "discography discussions". wouldn't it be nice to show ONLY "discography discussions" sometime?

that's a FUCKING GREAT idea!
Keep the page "all-in-one," but with the ability to filter!
but for the time being, could you consider putting a temporary solution with just a.. ehm... AH! Checkbox was the word for "my music-thread" and like.. a light grey color or something?
shouldn't take too long... a new CSS-class which the threads which have the "my music" property is embedded into.. or... I don't know how you've set-up this board, but you could just copy what you did with the discography-discussion-threads...
(btw: would you consider extending the discography to include jazz and nu-jazz, as there are frequent discussions about these genres here? Or maybe you want to keep it purely "Excellent electronic music?")

Firefox does not render this page very well anyway, besides, the "fix" was tested earlier, just like epohs suggested and it didn't work (you should read the whole thread next time).
Internet Explorer is heavily recommended. The site does look weird in Firefox and you'll miss a few (mostly cosmetical) details.
This is what the messagebox should look like:

on a different note:
how about a Jay-z link next to the lazy link? ` it would make your entire post a link to a picture of jay-z telling all his artists they were fired!

If you choose to support invalid CSS standards, that's your choice - you'll be forced down the road to make the change when IE updates again (probably when Longhorn comes out) and goes (hopefully) 100% CSS compliant.
The CSS didn't work? Odd... I'll take a look at the code again - I did write it in less than five minutes :\
Forcing your users to use only one browser may turn some away from the site...especially considering the rising popularity of Mozilla and FireFox...

I'm not forcing anyone. It's a recommendation. Obviously FireFox is unable to render basic cosmetical settings and I'm not gonna limit the site because of that.

Oh, I just did read through the thread, and apparently you didn't read correctly - my code corrected Epoh's (he had background-repeat: no versus background-repeat: no-repeat. "no" is not a valid value for the background-repeat attribute.
I suggest giving it a go again - you'll be better off in the long run.

well.. about this CSS, yes: it is better to use valid CSS. It can be made to look the same in all browsers. I've made several sites which were completely the same in all the browsers lately.
You should use the w3c css validator to check your css regularly while writing.. if you don't use correct CSS, the web-browsers will evolve away from you, making the update less permanent... if you want to keep from updating too often, keep everything validated...

"basic cosmetical settings"? Please... IE is not fully CSS1/2 compliant... it's not FireFox's fault that it renders CSS more accurately then IE...
Anyways, try the fix again (I think you used Epoh's code instead of mine) and it will work if you do what I suggest.
Just trying to help you out Phob...

christ, read it again, he corrected himself a few posts later to no-repeat

sorry... i didn't mean to stir things up.
but, anyway. i saved a test page, and tested out the new css, and it seems to be working on my end on both FireFox, and IE.
http://tehgrey.com/_waste/xlt/topic.html
of course, like i mentioned earlier, you'll have to add about 20 pixels of width to the textarea background image to make up for the loss of the scrollbar.

the problem is that FireFox (correctly) renders the 'background: fixed;' command, and fixes the background to the page, not the textarea.
just a nit-picky sort of thing... but, FireFox is in the right here, and IE is poo.

i also moved a few of the styles that were on the textarea tag up into the stylesheet, and changed the background color... but, they weren't big changes.
so, for what it's worth, that's my suggestion.

Yeah. Actually, the textarea is what makes my browser slow down. Scrolling works completely fine until I reach the textarea, but after it has been in the picture, scrolling is slowslowslow.
If the css for the background-image in the textarea says "background-attachment: fixed;", changing that to background-attachment: scroll;" would help.

does the page i linked to 5 posts up ^ scroll slow on your browser? it shouldn't since i messed around with the css.
if it does, what browser/OS are you running?

scrolling works perfectly fine on that page you linked to.
on this page, the browser is working on moving the background-image of the textarea around even when the textarea is out of sight. background-attachment: fixed really fixes the background to the whole page in general, not to the textarea.
