It's not my equipment that needs an upgrade, it's my eyes. At 1024

on my 17 monitor it looks like ant writing to me, not your problem.

The funny thing is, 99.9% of the time LP fits 800x600 just fine such as

I never noticed a difference.

As a simple html webmaster I assume work expands to fill the screen

or a bottom scroll bar appears, when I have things running out of the

box it's a problem. Testing 1024 on LP I see that doesn't happen at

1024. I was just reporting wha... [ More ]

Adding to my last reply to BobP, in your first sentence you referred to an option that has never been there, and probably never will be. There is no problem there, it is by design.

There are other limitations of blogs too, like you can't post ads in them.

If you want complete control of a blog, with any editorial decisions you like, then I'd recommend you use a free blogging site like Blogger to create it.

I'll delete my previous post because it's not a bug report.

Lottery Post is not designed to work at 800 x 600. It is industry-standard by all measures at this point that 800 x 600 is no longer acceptable from a design standpoint, and I can't provide the things I need to at that resolution.

If for whatever reason you will not upgrade to a modern screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768, then perhaps using a web browser that can reduce the zoom percentage will shrink the page enough to... [ More ]

I'm typing this with the Simple Codes editor.

I believe I have found/fixed the problem with carriage returns not showing up with the Simple Codes editor.

Please let me know if there is something else I have missed.

I still don't see any means of editing or removing old blog posts.

In replying to a post I see some 7 of the options (smiles horse shoe, etc) are out of the beige box on the right (mouse wheel hold down and right scroll) and as I type the word go out of view on the right side of the bos I'm using 800x600 resolution. After [save changes] everything looks ok but it's hard to review your work with about 10 letters off the screen every line.

OK, it sounds like you're talking about the Simple Codes editor. (As opposed to the new Rich Text editor that I just installed.)

I should be able to fix that up pretty quickly -- maybe even by later this evening.

Thanks for the explanation.

Sorry Todd,I was trying to give you an example of what is happening, but it didn't come out right:If you type a phrase followed by the enter key, then type a 2nd phrase followed by the enter key, then type a 3rd phrase followed by the enter key, you wind up with 3 lines, but since the update was installed when you click post reply you wind up with all three phrases on the same line.

Todd, you're a scholar and a gentlemen and a Saint for all the hard work that you do

I have a feeling that you are trying to say something with carriage returns doesn't work right, but I can't comprehend what it is. It would be simpler if you could give a straightforward bug report in a private message.

Thanx Todd, for your efforts. I noticed the change in the comment reply box. It shows you the font size before you choose it. Neat.

No, there was complete network outage in the data center in which the Lottery Post server resides, making it impossible for anyone to reach the site for about an hour or so.

Thanks Todd!! I wasn't able to get on to LP for a short while this morning. Was that due to the update as well

Todd — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:52:35 GMT

I have completed the site update that I mentioned here: https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/172571

There were a few bugs that become immediately apparent when I installed the update, and I have fixed all but one of them (that I have found).

There is a Firefox menu issue that I can't do anything about until I get a patched file from another company. For now, Firefox users will see the blue menu bar shrink a little as they mouse-over it. When I am able to patch the menus, that will go away. I... [ More ]
