varun Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Hmm, I'm on linux and don't see any difference between original and original+size 2. Problem with deciding on a font size is that people have differing resolutions, so some people will always find it too small, and others will always find it too big. If you want to use a slightly bigger fontsize, you could use the "India-Flag-Colors" theme instead of the "IFC-Mod" theme (accessible from the bottom left drop down on all the pages).
Dirty_South Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 trebuchet+ size 2 looks great But u can change FONT size by -> Ctrl + Push the SCROLL wheel UP/Down in the mouse...

Hrm, I'm on Linux as well and original+2 looked better. But the India-Flag-Colors I think uses Verdana (or Bitstream Vera on Linux) - and it looks really good (the fonts0.

I switched to Firefox (from epiphany that I normally use) and noticed the difference in the original and original+2
ludhianvi Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I suppose with the different resolutions used, it can be a problem. Its not that big of a deal I suppose. btw, mine is 1024x768 and my monitor is 17 inch. So I am assuming with higher resolutions, the fonts will become smaller. But with a widescreen 17 inch monitor with 1024x768 resolution, the fonts werent bad. So yeah, it can be tricky I suppose
graphic23 Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Yeah India-Flag-Colors uses Verdana.. I switched to Firefox (from epiphany that I normally use) and noticed the difference in the original and original+2 I think thats because Epiphany normally tries to use the Fonts that you've set for your GNOME applications inside the web pages as well. Perhaps thats why. My application font is right now set to 'Trebuchet MS', and in Epiphany the +2 original font looks smaller than the original one. (It might also be, as ludhianvi said, due to my 1400x900 resolution). I think since the IFC theme looks better on the higher resolution and the ICF one looks better with small resolutions, it looks fine. I'm not sure though.
fineleg Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Varun + mods, either make polls fully pvt (no one can see who voted), or make it all public. Second grade treatment to regular members. Dont give privileges to Mods to see who voted on pvt polls, PMs etc. Where is the privacy?

Vbulletin have released a hack for the VB forum which after installed, allows admins or ppl having admin privileges only to check who voted for whom. no other regular mods or members can see.

Vbulletin have released a hack for the VB forum which after installed, allows admins or ppl having admin privileges only to check who voted for whom. no other regular mods or members can see. Ok, but still my meta point remains. A poll which is supposed to be private means that if a member votes for something - he expects NO ONE in the forum incl. Admins will know who voted for what. If that is not true, then there is no point of having private polls. Same goes for anything else that is private like PMs etc etc.

If that is not true, then there is no point of having private polls. Same goes for anything else that is private like PMs etc etc. I don't know too much of the technical stuff behind the site - Varun/Ravi are the guys, but really in the end it's a database and if someone with all admin rights on the database wants to he can pretty much see everything. That's true in all companies as well, no doubt in your workplace also. That we are interested or bothered to actually go around seeing who voted for whom/where the average poster(not spammer) is logging in from etc. etc. is a different question and the answer as far as I know is an unequivocal no. Most of us hardly get the time to catch up with the posts and cricket, forget about trying to figure out who voted for whom in some poll.

Predator_05 Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 can we have someone put up more bets for IPL matches please I haven't been putting bets up lately 'cos 1) i have been busy and 2) the odds on these matches aren't that good
Sachinism Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 I haven't been putting bets up lately 'cos 1) i have been busy and 2) the odds on these matches aren't that good change the odds to what you think would be better suited
fineleg Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Varun/other web admins, What is this icon that appears sometime in the second column of a thread in IPL forum? I dont see it in chit chat forum or even in Cricket forum?

I dont see it in chit chat forum or even in Cricket forum? That's just an icon for the thread that you can choose when you create a new thread. I had disabled it for all the other forums earlier and forgot to disable it for this one :D Let me know if it's irritating for too many people and i'll remove it for the IPL forum too
