[01:04:43] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: I have an idea for #fite... you must be in the #fite channel for the "gods to smile upon you"
[01:37:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> good idear
[01:46:05] <chromas> But don't have to be in the channel to be fought :D
[01:57:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, that was gonna be a given.
[11:33:30] <Bytram> huh, wait... I can #fite someone who IS NOT in the channel?
[11:34:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> will be able to, yeah. online or offline.
[11:35:06] <Bytram> ahhh, I just did a test (how about THAT?) and does not work atm
[11:35:08] <Bytram> ;)
[11:35:19] <Bytram> thanks for the heads up
[11:46:27] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: back to the site's code...
[11:46:47] <Bytram> So, the sort drop down will be reduced to just "Oldest First" and "Newest First"
[11:47:57] <Bytram> I have a request that may not seem important but would go a LONG way to usability, and for allowing clear documentation of the selection and sorting options... EACH drop-down should be preceded by its own Label
[11:48:19] <Bytram> where currently there is ONLY "Threshold/Breakthrough:"
[11:49:35] <Bytram> I would like to see each drop down preceded with its own label: "Threshold:", "Breakthrough:", "Mode:", and then "Sort:"
[11:50:11] <Bytram> of course, they don't exactly match up with the name of the fields in the code, but this is the user-facing stuff, and should make sense to the *people* using the site. =)
[11:50:38] <Bytram> afk -- gotta get ready for work, etc.
[11:51:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> it'll take up space. need to check it for mobile users with the new css.
[11:51:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> which needs to somehow get merged but mrpg based it on live instead of dev so it's gonna be an utter bitch to merge.
[12:24:16] <Bytram> good point, Thinking out loud, maybe each choice could be put in a DIV (to keep the label with the choice) and the DIVs could flow as space provides, if need be, each div on its own line.
[12:28:27] <Bytram> or a span, or whatever; put a class on each item and then it can me moved/formatted as one desires...
[12:29:00] <Bytram> here's an idea of what I am thinking:
[12:29:07] <Bytram> <fieldset>
[12:29:07] <Bytram> <legend>Display Options</legend>
[12:29:07] <Bytram> <span class="Comment_threshold">
[12:29:07] <Bytram> Threshold: <select id="threshold" name="threshold">
