Current

BattleTech Project

I was advised to inform you, in case of your interest or whatnot, in an independent project I started and have been working on for the past few days. I posted a link on reddit, found link here which was what originally drew interest and someone pointed me to you. In short, its a web-based, interactive map (presently) displaying the ownership of every planet (that I have data for [the current version uses ISCS, but I'm reaching out to other -apparently better- sources for map coords and whatnot]) and its location in the BT universe. I'm also working on some interesting / useful pieces of functionality to click on / mouse over each planet and get information/description for that planet and the planets within jump distance of that planet. If you want to get ahold of me, providing you have a reddit account, send me a message there. --Cryp71c

Broken Link

I noticed that the MUX link on the left navigation bar is broken and links to a deleted page, so the link on the side should also be removed. -BobTheZombie (talk) 21:33, 6 October 2013 (PDT)

• I hope to create a small page that talks about the old-school (and current) MUX/MUSEs soon. Nicjansma (talk) 13:54, 16 October 2013 (PDT)

Sarna.net Design Refresh

August 20, 2013: The new visuals are live for all of Sarna. Please let me know if you have any feedback. There's additional talk about the refresh in the 2013 Archive.Nicjansma (talk) 16:22, 20 August 2013 (PDT)

Layout

Hy Nic i copyied this talk from Mbears talk page, please give us a statement about the new layout on the various Combat Vehicle pages, if it works or not or ideas.

Hi Mbear, can you take a look on the Heimdall (Combat Vehicle) page i changed the headers a little bit, my feeling is it looks much better and has a cleaner overview as our standard formating, what do you think? Ok iam be bold the new layout looks great, if it not become acceptance i revert me changes.--Doneve (talk) 16:48, 29 October 2013 (PDT)

I for one don't like the new layout, because it makes the headings as big as the title, which just looks wrong to me. Additionally, Wikipedia uses the two == layout and it works quite well. That's just my opinion; we need more people to chime in. -BobTheZombie (talk) 20:06, 29 October 2013 (PDT)

There is no problem, we can change the headings size for the new layout, but a admin must do this, oh Bob the arcticle name size and the new heading size is the same, or iam wrong? I think not.--Doneve (talk) 20:32, 29 October 2013 (PDT)

If you look on Wikipedia, you'll see that section headings have a hairline that covers the width of the page. I do think it makes the article more readable. Any thoughts on adopting this here? --Scaletail (talk) 20:09, 30 October 2013 (PDT)

I would prefer to keep the previous layout, where two equals (==) are used for headings. This corresponds with an H2 HTML tag. One equal (=) is a H1 HTML tag, which should be reserved for the page title. Nicjansma (talk) 08:15, 7 November 2013 (PST)

Ok, Mbear give me a CSS code and it works then i have the layout i want.--Doneve (talk) 14:44, 7 November 2013 (PST)

Nic, it's not about using H1s instead of H2s, it's about changing what H2s look like. Rather than just being an underline, the Wikipedia formatting uses a hairline that runs the width of the page. I think it increases readability. --Scaletail (talk) 18:33, 7 November 2013 (PST)

But we still need to revert all those back that were changed, quiaff? -BobTheZombie (talk) 19:16, 7 November 2013 (PST)

Work in progress, quiaff!--Doneve (talk) 19:36, 8 November 2013 (PST)19:29, 8 November 2013 (PST)

My apologies, good sir, I put that up just before you were working on it and didn't remove it in time! -BobTheZombie (talk) 09:08, 9 November 2013 (PST)

Oh sure - we can make H2s have a bottom border instead of being underlined. I like it too, I've made the change. Nicjansma (talk) 14:45, 12 November 2013 (PST)

I like it! -BobTheZombie (talk) 14:55, 12 November 2013 (PST)

Me to, then i can remove my CSS code.--Doneve (talk) 14:58, 12 November 2013 (PST)

Nic, i found one problem, when you look on any planet page the major page name has the same size as the sections, can you look in.--Doneve (talk) 15:06, 12 November 2013 (PST)

Technically, they're slightly different. The page name is H1, which is 24px. The sections are H2s, at 20px. For reference, Wikipedia's H1 is slightly larger at 26px and their H2 is 20px. I could bump our H1 up to 26px to make it just slightly more different than H2? Nicjansma (talk) 22:29, 12 November 2013 (PST)

I think that that would help a lot, Nic. -BobTheZombie (talk) 04:48, 13 November 2013 (PST)

H1 has been increased to 26px. Nicjansma (talk) 08:01, 13 November 2013 (PST)

Now that looks a little better. -BobTheZombie (talk) 16:55, 13 November 2013 (PST)
