Reminder

[zarhooie]

Hello, my fine getting_started members, subscribers and lurkers! I just want to remind you all that being upset at the way the system works is ok. There's Suggestions if you want to change it, and this comm or Support if you want workarounds or help.

At no point is it acceptable to be rude, cruel, abusive, mean, or excessively unpleasant to individuals who are attempting to help you. I am sure most of you learned this when you were 3, but I am sure that a gentle reminder of this would not go amiss.

As a mod, I feel a responsibility to make this comm a safe place for users to ask questions. If I see someone being combative in comments or an entry (or if a member contacts me), I will take action. It will usually be a politely-worded PM, but might take the form of a permanent ban from commenting or posting here. I am confident that this will be a rare and unusual occurrence.

Thanks for hanging out here and being awesome!

<3,
Kat

I wouldn't go that far. My guess is, he wanted the feature to just BE THERE, as in click a box and its done. No work on his part. What he forgets - and a lot of people, apparently, is that the bulk of the layouts on Dreamwidth were created from the ground up - they weren't inherited over (with the exception of Negatives, Transmogrified and Zesty. Maybe a few things that people take for granted, like journal names in the title bar weren't added either through basic oversight or designer preference.

I just had no idea that would be such a dealbreaker. Man alive, I've never seen such a reaction over a title bar.

designer preference.

I just had no idea that would be such a dealbreaker. Man alive, I've never seen such a reaction over a title bar.

Designer preference, it seems, it's the default Core2 layout, but isn't the same in LJ, where you can change your TITLE to be different to username.

FWIW, fixing it for my layout was my first priority when I learnt S2/Core2, I hate the default and have overrides to make mine a lot more flexible. I'm also building a TR based style from the ground up that will do that, and a lot more.

I actually do understand the passion, for a public facing blog, page TITLE tags, especially making sure the entry title is in the TITLE, is very important.

I don't understand the arsehole approach, completely out of order. I also don't understand the idea that "we're in beta" means nothing. I know some sites are in perpetual beta, but we genuinely mean that we are. PErhaps we should make that a bit cleared during the current signup process?
