Pretty Colors

Jan 29, 2002 12:02pm CST tags: boobies, zGeneral News
Just a note about the pretty colors I mentioned yesterday. I decided to color code a couple different post categories. Firstly, in the event of a post containing relevant or interesting information about a story at hand, or a post by a developer involved on the project, we'll be marking the post with a teal header so the more interesting/informative posts are easier to spot. Secondly, if a post contains a link that would be considered "Not Work Safe" such as boobies etc, it will have a dark red stripe across the top of the post. They will look like this:

Informative/Interesting
Not Work Safe

In order to see Not Work Safe posts, you must adjust your options. A couple of notes though, currently in threaded mode subthreads are not capable of showing the color coding until we get a code update. Hopefully we'll get that remedied in the near future. The big fear here being that a change like this may turn threads in to a "look how smart I think I am" pissing match. If that happens, I'll pull the feature. But I'm hoping this just encourages a few more good posts and makes it easier for most people to spot the especially interesting things people or developers say.

Also: There are currently no plans for color coding any other categories. If you choose to browse the stupid/trolling posts that's your decision.
