Suggestion for the style sheet: Ability to change text size. The default is a little small for comfort if you're sitting a healthy distance from your monitor. --Buck 00:29, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

I think this is easier to do with Opera, FireFox, etc... than with IE. In FireFox I have a custom stylesheet for specific sites that changes the default text size. — ShadowWolf 22:34, 30 August 2007 (EDT)

Captchas

A captcha for every edit? I missed that discussion. :) Seems like an overreaction to me, a captcha is intended to prevent automated bots from operating but this most recent episode of spam didn't look automated so it wouldn't have made a difference. And it was quite small and easily dealt with by conventional means, in any event. Bryan 19:52, 12 October 2007 (EDT)

Only the main namespace has that. The rest of Shifti is only captcha'd on account creation, login failure and when a URL is added to the page. ShadowWolf 20:42, 12 October 2007 (EDT)

I haven't had any problem with the captchas ( just to make sure though those are the image verifiers that pop up after you hit submit?) it doesn't take more than a second to deal with and if it stops bots it cant hurt as another layer of protection.

After the problems Felix ran into with the Captcha system, I've changed the system so that 'authors' group people are not going to be facing it. — ShadowWolf 23:47, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Get Well Soon

Don't push yourself too hard, Shadow. The last thing we want is an acute case. I'm sure we'll get the new router/modem this week. --Buck 15:34, 4 February 2008 (EST)

I'm willing to front some money in order to get that router/modem hardware here sooner. You said it was the cheapest place you found it. What's the price difference between this place and, say, NewEgg or Best Buy? --Buck 16:06, 5 February 2008 (EST)

Huzzah!

What the title of this section says. :) Bryan 16:11, 22 February 2008 (EST)

Small addition

You might want to mention explicitly that the funds we collected during the recent fundraiser will still go toward maintaining Shifti, just in case people think putting off moving to a new host means we're going to pocket the loot and live the high life off of it. :) Bryan 19:56, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
