CANTO I
[Incomincia la Comedia di Dante Alleghieri di Fiorenza, ne la quale tratta de le pene e punimenti de' vizi e de' meriti e premi de le virtù. Comincia il canto primo de la prima parte la quale si chiama Inferno, nel qual l'auttore fa proemio a tutta l'opera.]

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
ché la diritta via era smarrita.
Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
che nel pensier rinova la paura!
Tant' è amara che poco è più morte;

@alexanderpas I thought that was a normal pop up and clicked on the 'x' button....

Marcel J.

8:17 AM

The dotted frame around a message on mouse-over adds unnecessary noise. I would consider removing it - or try to add it to the message-bubble instead of a seperate inner area.

Spoike

@Agos where is that?

WalterJ89

lol same

Jeff Atwood

@MarcelJ perhaps an outline?

Noam Gal

@sp

@Spoike - in front of the Metropolis hotel, of course...

I'm getting a lot of this now:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1722364/Untitled.png
For some reason I think the chat JS is forcing FF to rerender the entire screen, slowing it down

Agos

@controlbreak it highlights the parent message, if it's a reply

controlbreak

8:18 AM

well I mean, it occasionally highlight an other message

Spoike

@JeffAtwood you should do something about new messages popping up. can't new messages be smoothly slided in as a transition instead of instant jumps?

Agos

sss

controlbreak

@Agos oh! thanks

balpha

@YiJiang that's a known gecko bug

Jeff Atwood

beta browsers are not supported. Just FYI.

Agos

8:20 AM

my image is bouncing in the right-hand picture list

why?

Greg Hewgill

I thought it was "beta browsers don't exist" :)

alexanderpas

beta browers are beta, and need to be fixed.

Jeff Atwood

it's hard enough to support the released browsers *cough* OPERA *cough*

@balpha Known gecko bug as in a bug in the gecko browsers or in the chat system's intereaction with gecko

There's no selfwhoring with user points, i kinda like that.

Jeff Atwood

if you're new to chat, PLEASE see the starred items on the right hand side, click "show all"

Yi Jiang

8:22 AM

@Agos If the onebox thingy actually reads the content of the chat stream we can make it recurse forever

Thomas Freudenberg

instead of showing a fixed 32 avatars on the right hand side, the number should be dynamic depending on the browser's width, e.g. always show two rows

Riduidel

@dusda I'm using Opera right now on this chat !

dusda

@Riduidel ..

Yi Jiang

@balpha Oh, that bug... I thought making it overflow: auto or something would fix it... trying now

Riduidel

@Jeffartwood there is a rollover effect on messages that makes all rows move with Opera

@dusda Yes ?

vodkhang

8:23 AM

don't know what to say for this load testing. so I just say

Marcel J.

@balpha Hmm, message grouping seems to happen ~once every few minutes - having the outline by default only for this rare event seems unnecessary to me.

balpha

@YiJiang tried that

Martijn Laarman

@Riduidel Opera is like, the Nader of browsers.

Agos

"Is everything I'm gonna say." is everything I'm gonna say.

Riduidel

8:24 AM

I like the way it's possible to reply to a specific message

balpha

@MarcelJ that's because there's about a million people talking here right now

Sorskoot

Making this my new homepage ;)

Riduidel

@dusda Better than all its opponents, but way behind them in terms of marketshare ?

Noam Gal

but having the outline only on grouped messages would make more sense, IMO

8:26 AM

So, any Delphi developers (who weren't on the beta) downloaded/installed XE yet? :-) (trying rather pointlessly to think of something to say).

Marcel J.

@balpha Agreed. But it's kinda odd that I can't see whether a message is instead two messages - only if I mouse-over it.

Riduidel

@JeffAtwood I've the strange feeling that having messages dynamically appear AND having the ability to scroll through all messages will generate interesting scrolling patterns

Jeff Atwood

just paste in the image URL on a line by itself

vodkhang

I am just kidding, just try the feature

Steve Robbins

Annoying the way login fires up in a new tab, then redirects back to chat in that new tab so I have two chat tabs

Marcel J.

8:26 AM

@balpha However might be different with less people - when you can see the timestamp at the side of each message inside a single bubble.

From the FAQ I come to know that the full transcript is logged. It also mentions that a chat room is kept active for some certain period of time.

How do I access the logs once the chat room cease to exist?

@xk0der what do you mean by "recreated"?

@JeffAtwood Oh? Not appearing here in Safari ATM, just seeing the XKCD cartoon reference number, but I'll check a few out somewhere quieter. :-)

Jeff Atwood

@xk0der in our experience there are a lot of rooms created that don't get traction.. those get deleted.. if it has a certain threshold of chat the room is frozen

Jeff Atwood

@xk0der rooms have a certain life expectancy except for the rare ones that live a long time.. we're still learning chat.. it's VERY time sensitive.. the rest of the internet spends all its time tearing down time as a barrier, while the very nature of chat is time based

Q: Handling sex while roleplaying.

I think it's a matter of fact that since the first moment a player finds out he can interpret someone of the opposite sex, things get hairy. I had my fair amount of dealing with sex and sexuality in my games, examples: a female player of mine had a female character. She bought a special d30 die...
