Accessibility of interface

[Doug R.]

Still works for me, but since it's not laggy like it used to be, you have to be extra fast.

We need the same button availability on the 'character description' page as on the 'people' page.

Not exactly an acessability issue, but it would be nice if other people's hunting results could be displayed in one message instead of a dozen.

I'd love to see something like this... kinda. Add in people dragging, entering and exiting buildings, setting up projects etc.

Except what you get is one event with an optional +/- to expand the event on its details.

You see X dragging resources (or whatever you wanna call it) +

You see X dragging resources) -
-Onions to Building Q
-Feathers to Building Y
etc

Works for hunting, and everything!

And yes it is an accessibility of interface issue. Why? Because it makes the interface more "newb friendly".

That would be awesome. I wonder how it could be coded. Sounds like a javascript thing. Somehow I suck at javascript.

I just came to think, wouldn't it be useful if projects were listed by start date rather than in alphabetical order? If you know the name of the project (or a part of it) you can use the search box to find it, so having things in alphabetical order only helps to classify them by type. I think chronological order would allow people to see in one glance which projects are recent, and if you viewed the date of the newest project, you'd know at once when something last happened in that location and wouldn't have to check each project separately. Or if someone was going to miss the alphabetical order terribly, there could just be radio buttons for arrange by date, arrange by name, maybe even arrange by starter. You have to click search anyway so there must already be a form, so adding extra options to the form shouldn't be too difficult.

[EchoMan]

Very nice idea. I like it.

[Doug R.]

I have no opinion either way.

Turns out it was very quick to write so I have it working in the test environment already. Just gotta create a couple new translation tags and then it's ready to go live. Edit: Implemented.

I can't check at the moment, but I believe you wrote "choise" rather than "choice" in the narrative.

[SekoETC]

Narrative..? If this is about the sorting thing, as far as I can remember the only texts added were "Sort by: Name, Start date, Initiator". If there's a typo in the text that says how to use search, I didn't touch that text.

[EchoMan]

I added a line about the search order thing. I probably spelled it wrong, since I am rather skilled in typo.

[SekoETC]

Oh, I missed the message about you editing it, I only paid attention to the ibex and walrus stuff.

[Surly]

...I only paid attention to the ibex and walrus stuff.

Well, obviously..

I think this could be a bug, but maybe it is a suggestion. Currently spell check will not stay enabled for the event box in Firefox. I have to right click and enable it everytime. This is the only text box I have encountered that does not automatically get checked. This happens on all my PC's, so I guess it has something to do with the properties of the text box.

Can someone look into this as it would greatly improve the game for me as I am a horrible speller.

Thanks
