![]() Remembered Posts: 14,079 Joined: 26-September 02 From: Sudbury, Ontario, Canada ![]() | I am not terrifically familiar with other wikis and never really noticed until our wiki came along but most wikis have a 'Talk' page associated with almost everything. Except for our wiki, any that I have looked at provide access to talk pages with a 'Talk' Button. We have an 'Add Reply' button. wonder if, in the wiki context, if a 'Talk' button, rather than the 'Add Reply' button might not be more intuitive? Glenn Attached File(s) |

Perhaps we could ask Mark if he would be able to PhotoShop the image to read 'talk', which certainly would be more intuitive. |

Excellent! ertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> Mark (CyberCow) is looking after the majority of the graphical 'tidy-up' site-wide and he's mighty busy, so hey (or for Mark) hay, ![]() If you build it, you can email it over to me (webmaster@...) or just attach it here and I can grab it and find it a home. Thanks very much Jack! |

![]() UdderAccess Admin + UA Ruler Posts: 19,557 Joined: 27-April 02 From: Upper MI ![]() | Jack, So, no, no . . . you're not really done here, and we do move fast (sometimes), but we want you to know we still need you. This particular graphic is done, but I'm sure there will be more. I just happened to have built a Photoshop file with buttons already so it was quite easy and fast for me to do this one. The real fun comes when trying to find where in the code is the buried reference to any given image . . . . . . . as noted by Glenn's reference to it not appearing in all the places it needs to. It's really good to have you hear. Your entheusiasm is very much appreciated and it is noticed across the board. |

![]() UdderAccess Admin + UA Ruler Posts: 19,557 Joined: 27-April 02 From: Upper MI ![]() | Thanks for the head's-up Glenn. I seem to have difficulty with refreshes in IE8 and sometimes I will attribute a no-show to that aspect of the imperfect world of Windows PCs. I'll take a deeper look at the Wiki file code this evening after work. Cheers |

![]() UdderAccess Admin + UA Ruler Posts: 19,557 Joined: 27-April 02 From: Upper MI ![]() | OK, I think I nailed it. I found another reference to the oroginal "Add Reply" button and altered it. Please let me know if I missed any others . . . Thanks! |

![]() UA Moderator Posts: 76,889 Joined: 19-June 07 From: SunnySandyEggo ![]() | And how come there are two separate graphics being used for each function (one at the top and another at the bottom)? For example, notepad with plus sign for Talk on top and double-quote symbol for Talk on the bottom. Or, a notepad for Edit on top and a plus symbol for Edit on the bottom. |

![]() UdderAccess Admin + UA Ruler Posts: 19,557 Joined: 27-April 02 From: Upper MI ![]() | Glenn, I think yours is just a "refresh" issue. < BGuy, I was just following suit of the skin. I didn't design the skin for the forum; I'm just being careful to stay within the color and appearance of what it is. Sure, both buttons do the same thing in the Wiki, but the Wiki is sharing the skin with the Forum and I want to take care that all alterations remain consistent. I changed only the text of each button. I thought, "If I remove the 'notepad' from the top button, then will not match the edit button at the top." The logic was applied to those buttons below |
