Comments on: Welcome to PalmInfocenter v6.0

BTW... that would be "easier" reading... (oh, the irony... :)

That should be - when I hit reply and/or make new comment, I'm having serious problems with the font. I just read the comments without replying etc and the font is fine.

I'm using Firefox, screen resolution is 1600x1200 (32 bits).

I'll email you two Bitmaps (thus no information loss); one will be of this area, the other of the comments below this in-progress reply. Two different fonts being used. THIS area has squished characters.

Welcome to the true mobile Web 2.0: what Web 1.0 was before stinking Flash.

I realize the one on the sidebar is smaller, but the dedicated page is much better and shows the latest 50 comments at a glance.

Works great and a LOT better than having the comments at the bottom of the page - would I want the new "latest comments" section at the top (er..top-right?). Wouldn't complain about that but don't at ALL think it's necessary for "rapid and perfectly satisfactory PIC perusal"...

I liked the old one at the bottom of the screen for 2 reasons:

#1 It was a quick mouse scroll wheel flick (I use it the Logitech hyper-scrolling feature a LOT) or CTL-END key combo away (I also use home/end/pg up/pg down a ton-maybe an old diehard PC thing??)

#2 It showed more comments

I hardly ever go to the dedicated comments page unless I've been offline for a full day and there's been a big story with a lot of chatter (earnings report, new product announced etc).

I think that putting the latest comments up top would be overkill (especially considering how it's the "usual gang of idiots/regulars" doing most of the frequent posting here, but restoring it to its old location at the very bottom of the page is what I'd like to see.

As SV said, the dedicated coments board is, IMHO, too cumbersome to get to and having the small box on the right hand side as it is now is a bit less intuitive (it sort of gets jumbled up with the "special deals" ad & the "notable stories" feature etc.

i think MikeCrane agrees with me.

You sound just like Chris Cornell.

But as an aside, there is no reason anyone should still be using IE6.

I personally know of several sizable firms where Win 2000 is still the most widely-deployed OS (from PCs of 2001-2004 vintage, so likely due to be upgraded soon but still)

A lot of companies transitioned from NT straight to 2k and have bypassed XP & Vista for any number of reasons. IE7+ are not compatible with IE6, so that's as good as it gets for Win2k unless you use a non-MS browser.
