Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Feb 18, 2011 5:00am PSTI would very much like to tell you something about video games this morning but the truth is that I'm far too excited to concentrate. Tomorrow evening I'll be seeing the truly wonderful and dreadful Troll 2 along with a documentary about it, Best Worst Movie. I'm a sucker for enjoyably bad movies, especially bad horror movies, and oh my gooooooooooooooood Troll 2 is fantastically bad.
But video games are real, they do exist, and they are happening, so let's get onto those, yes? I hear they have buttons and everything nowadays.

Happy Friday Shack. Quite a lively thread yesterday in response to my post about the impending Shackpocalypse. Thanks to all for the generally high level of discussion and for many good suggestions. The two big requests from the Shack were 1) to find some way to keep Shackpics and 2) to bring back profile pages. We're discussing Shackpics internally to see if we can find some solution given that we aren't going to support it in the new infrastructure. As for profile pages, they have been on the post-launch roadmap all along, so maybe know they move to higher priority.
Since you've been so well behaved, here's some more candy. A sample article page: http://www.shackpics.com/files/NewsHubShacknews_tn5aha6nhjri68pod7r7.png and here is Chatty with Haiku's styling: http://www.shackpics.com/files/LatestChattyShacknews_wf60d8ukalglz576qiz7.png . Code tweaks ongoing.
Stay tuned.

1: I think the comment bubbles under each story should be much smaller, unless there is content in them to show i.e. someones comment. They are a bit distracting and just adds a bunch of unecessary white space.
2: Why so much blue in the chatty comments? The curent color scheme works, even though some elements are contrasting, it's easy on the eyes. The blue is just a bit much.
just my 2 cents.
