Blaine,

Looks like the least painful method would be to simply change the field
type for "blockorder" from a TINYINT to a SMALLINT.

Vinny, what's the status on the problem with the nested comments?

A few people seem to have problems with PEAR::Mail when safe_mode is on.
At least when selecting 'mail' as the backend, PHP complains about the
fifth parameter for mail() not being allowed in safe_mode. Switching to
'sendmail' or 'smtp' fixes that (in my local tests), but obviously not
for all people.

I have just added a hook that lets you override COM_mail() with a
CUSTOM_mail() function (i.e. if such a function exists, COM_mail() calls
it instead of handling emails itself).

If the safe_mode problems persist, we might even have to add a 'geeklog'
backend option that re-implements Geeklog's old way of sending emails.
Have to do some digging on documented problems with PEAR::Mail first -
maybe there's a better solution.

So these are the showstoppers for rc2 at the moment, AFAICS. Anything else?

bye, Dirk

<switching into Sunday evening silly mode/>

I came across this site the other day. It has screenshots of desktops of
a few "famous geeks":

So I thought - how does YOUR desktop look like when you're working on
Geeklog? Here's mine:

Neat site Dirk,

Here is my desktop - which is 2560 x 1280 dual screen. Image is 666kb.

Not that I can think of Dirk - do you need my help on anything?

Well...

I'm going to try a few things out.  I think I'm going to make some demo 
pages (tomorrow night maybe?) and then ask people in the forums to take 
a look with their browser and see what works and what doesn't.  I'll end 
up implementing whatever works in the most number of browsers.  If 
nothing seems to work widely, I can reimplement (in the templates) the 
nested tables that are how comments are done in 1.3.8 and prior.

As for the issues I brought up in my email titled "comment.php" unless I 
hear any contrary opinions I'm going to implement as I suggested in my 
"opinion" at the end of the email, pushing off displaying by 'cid' until 
1.3.10.

-Vinny

P.S.  I'm "on the road" this week so I'll only really be available in 
the evenings (EST).  I should be able to put in enough time to get these 
comment issues worked out though.
