Display problem on the tag cloud page for MeFi music

July 4, 2006 9:05 AM

Is it just me or are the tags on this page so small as to be useless? They look like they're embedded in 100 small tags. Safari.

Also, Matt, is there an ETA on adding Music posts/comments to profiles? I imagine that one's a snap, no? Woud make it easier to find ones tracks to read comments.

They look fine to me (Firefox).

Hmm. Weird. They look like this to me.

Look fine on my end (FF, OS X)...

I have the same problem as Dobbs in Safari, but it looks fine in FireFox.

Ya, I guess it's a Safari thing, same here.

I've never seen font-size:0.5+10px; in CSS before… is that conventional?

Because I think that's just broken in two different ways. Saf shows some variance in the size of the links, unless you specify a minimum font size in the broser preferences. Fx shows all the links at 10px, even when a minimum font size is not specified in the preferences.

Each tag link has a font-size of "n+10px" where n is of the range from (0.25..4.0)

Looking at the other sites' tag pages I'm guessing the calculation is meant to be done server side and isn't.

I was supposed to do the calculation server side, yeah. I'll fix it.

Looks fine in FF1.5.0.4, WXP.

Thanks, Matt, works fine now.

However, now I'm a bit confused. I've uploaded two tracks, both of which I tagged Canadian. When I go to that tag for me it says "displaying 1 through 2". However, I only see one of my posts there. Did one get deleted?

I do see a weird line, like a | (pipe) where the post should be though.

Actually, I see that line on other pages as well, for instance the Rock tag.

Yeah, dobbs, one of them was the deleted, because it was some band you knew and not something you created.

You okay'ed that in the MeTa announcement thread for Music. My other post is also not something I created.

Yeah, but since the launch and now that we've seen how it works, it'd be better if members were involved with the making of the music. Since it's all tied to your user profile, music should be authored by you just like your posts and comments are.
