hodown 14:25 matt you have great taste.
matthew 13:25 since we are talking about wedding rings, i want this one Paul : http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=GRP00372&mcat=148208&cid=288177&search_params=s+5-p+4-c+288177-r+-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
theli 13:16 fully day
theli 13:16 The way things are now just keeps propping up one of the worst scams in the world...the diamond industry.
theli 13:15 It would be nice if we could some fully day divorce the monetary value of things from how much of what the thing represents means to us...
jim 12:54 Ours were only $150, and are white gold. Unless you get diamonds or platinum it's hard to get a plain guy's ring that's super expensive.
paul 12:29 oh I like them aesthetically but seriously $55 for a wedding ring
theli 09:58 "four times harder than titanium, twice as hard as steel" actually sounds kinda cool.
ladycroft 04:11 i dunno paul, they look like any other wedding ring. why spend 5,000k when you could spend $55?

11/30/08 12:24 - 35ºF - ID#46891Category: estripMobile Site Updates

I don't have all that much time right now but I decided to do some mobile site updates that make using hte mobile site easier now that more of you are using it.

1. You are now presented with the login box, when trying to leave a commit from the mobile site, and not logged in. Thanks e:fellyconnelly for catching this. I had no idea what people meant when they were saying comments were not working.

2. The contact links now work. e.g. post it and email link.

3. The search box is more efficient and no longer has a default value. It also has a search button for phones that don't submit with the enter key being pressed in a form field.

4. I added a before/after journals section to the bottom of any mobile journal page that shows the previous and next 5 journals as links by title making it easier to jump around on a mobile phone. I may do the same for the main site at some point in the future.

5. Got rid of useless mobile nav links that were cluttering mobile nav. The TOS link, the defunct WAP site, epad. Limited messages view to last 10 so that it loads better on mobiles.

Does anyone care anymore. If the new estrip was IE8, Firefox, Safari only and IE 6/7 users had to use the mobile site would anyone even care?

Oh peter, I just saw your comment on the last journal here. No worries, they can still check the site from the mobile site if I drop IE 6/7 support on the main site. You can get to any journals/chat you need to from there.

metalpeter writes at 05:59:27 11/12/08 - Comment #42020

I'm not the one who runs the site, or does the work to maintain it. I think the site should support IE and the reason is that lots of people use it and don't even know about Safari or Firefox. This is often the case of people who use it at work. I don't use it at work. But maybe someone is about to go home and they want to see if anyone wants to meet at a movie or something and then they won't be able to use the site. But where I think the support is more important is for new members. Say I hear about the site and I come here and only have IE. To Join a site I'm not going to try and figure out why things don't work or that there is a mobile site I'll just give up and never come back, and that could be a factor.

IE7 Is a lot of people, is IE8 even out yet?

Doesn't affect me though :)

Sometimes you just say "Let the legacy bastards burn!"

paul writes at 09:51:05 11/11/08 - Comment #41965

IE 8 as is, is pretty awesome. It supports almost all of what you consider standard DOM/javascript. At least enough of everything to make it much easier.

zobar writes at 09:05:43 11/11/08 - Comment #41962

Please say that IE8 is actually an improvement over IE6. Every day I'm finding new reasons to be disappointed with IE7.

Just two days ago I found out that IE6 doesn't support <option disabled>, and that IE7 never bothered to address the issue - after spending hours writing code that relies on it.

Sometimes I seriously believe that the Internet Explorer team is hindering global progress. How many millions of billable man-hours have been wasted trying to make their crappy browser work?

you could use it at work janelle, you'd just use the mobile site. if you click on mobile now, you can see what it would look like.

janelle writes at 07:37:32 11/11/08 - Comment #41960

<Gasp> Then I can't use it at work, I don't think. What will I do all day?

theecarey writes at 11:47:08 11/10/08 - Comment #41958

Whatever you want to do. I use Firefox and only rarely ever IE.

tinypliny writes at 11:46:25 11/10/08 - Comment #41957

Heh, I installed firefox even at work (without admin rights or authorization). The "official" IE-6 made my life a hell with no tabs and 40+ windows at times. It was a question of mental health.

tiburon1724 writes at 11:38:40 11/10/08 - Comment #41955

nope, haven't used IE in years.

james writes at 11:34:46 11/10/08 - Comment #41954

I think the internet needs to stop catering to outdated IE versions. Bring the hammer down Paul!
