If a Post Title Spans Two Lines and Still Looks Good, You Win!

by Humdinger Diddly on June 14, 2008

So yeah, this is one of those things that you gotta test. If it comes out right, you’ll be a hero. Otherwise – baaaaa – you’ll be a friggin’ goat. I needed some extra text for testing purposes, so here ya go.

Well, what happens if I’m not a logged-in user and I post a comment? Does it break then?

I hate to butt in, but isn’t that just a little too non-sequitur?

Dude, last time I checked, you don’t run the place.

Let’s try another unmoderated one, especially since that last one came through as an admin comment.

What if I post a comment does it break ?

18 Barry Dingle December 19, 2009 at 10:50 pm

What happens here if I begin to talk to myself like an idiot ?

You know like those guys on Fox News ?

Fuck you!

At some point we all start sounding like pundits here on the IntraBlogoSphere.

21 Barry Dingle December 19, 2009 at 10:55 pm

I think I almost broke it. Nope I didn’t damn it.

How come no one has posted a multi-paragraph comment yet? Sup widdat? I think they’re gonna look a little bit wonky due to the vertical spacing between the commenter’s name and the start of each comment.

The only way to test that is to post a multi-line comment, and then check the results to see if they’d make baby Jesus cry.

I guess this isn’t a total abortion. If avatars weren’t so indiscernible at 30px by 30px, I’d be able to set up the comments like they were on the previous, non-Thesis version of Pearsonified…

To be honest, though, I’m really liking my new convention to use big avatars for initial comments and tiny avatars for replies. Good stuff.

Reply

24 Humdinger Diddly January 5, 2010 at 1:33 pm

Oh, and I should add—the tiny avatars for replies are 33px by 33px, and that’s still bigger than the proposed 30px by 30px that would better match the old design.

The last UI convention I need to tackle here is the link display on commenters’ names. Due to the lack of vertical spacing between the commenter’s name and the start of a comment, the old convention of a dotted border now looks like visual clutter. Dammit.

Ahhh, so I can reply to this. Damn, WordPress is jacked.

I’d humor you, but this has nested on long enough, don’t you think?

Reply

28 Stinkum Dinkum March 5, 2009 at 2:52 pm

I’ll have you know that if you continue to nest, I’m going to cutchoo.

29 Humdinger Diddly March 5, 2009 at 2:52 pm

There’s really no chance of that, although we do need to see where the tipping point is on the width of the comment form inside these damned threaded comments.

30 Stinkum Dinkum March 5, 2009 at 2:53 pm

I think we may have found it, gub’na.

31 Humdinger Diddly March 5, 2009 at 2:53 pm

Far from it, I’m afraid. You can nest these suckers ad-infinitum.

Reply

32 Humdinger Diddly March 5, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Ha, just kidding—we’ve reached the limit!

33 Barry Dingle December 19, 2009 at 10:52 pm

At what point does my punditry wander over into the sidebar, is it with this comment or the next?

34 nick January 7, 2010 at 3:21 pm

You can change the number of threaded in the WP options -> Discussion area.
