Pagination links are a bit small.

Post any ideas for improving the WHATWG community website and forums.

Pagination links are a bit small.

The pagination links for threads with multiple pages are a bit small. Good GUI interfaces have easy to use controls, could you bunch up the font-size a bit? In general too, like the textarea I'm currently typing in to only has a font size of 13. :?

oops, yeah, I didn't get around to that sry. I have been hella busy finalizing my details for college. Getting the housing, sorted and just now the student loans. Very busy time for me during the run up to fall when I begin my Degree in Comp Sci.

I also made all text bigger. It probably needs more tweaking -- the headings are probably way too big now. :-)

yeah, well I like the text size now. It is much easier on the eyes. Playing around with the realtime DOM feature of Chrome. I found the following to clean up things nicely:

Location: CSS Line 1103

Code: Select all
.postbody h3 {
font-size: 0.9em;
text-transform: none;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: 125%;
}


This still leaves the header/title on the first post large. But with all of the subsequent replies, it is a small discrete title.

LoL I pressed CTRL+0 thinking Firefox somehow blew the page size up. I do like this however...it wastes a lot less space on my screen and everything is easier to read. Thanks! :)

another thing I noticed is that our validation errors are now gone :D
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... Findex.php
I am not sure if it was intentional or accidental when editing the css but either way, good deal.
I know I started on fixing the markup a couple of weeks ago.

not sure if it is intentional, but we appear to have lost the edit/delete post/reply buttons.
I had to go in to the modcp to delete an accidental triple post.

Yeah I got rid of the validation errors on the front page, but other pages still have errors.

The edit etc buttons was not intentional. They're still there, just invisible for some reason. (If you want them before I get around to fixing it you can disable author style sheets.)

I meant they're there in the markup. Anyway, I've now fixed it so they should be visible again.
