Would it be possible to automatically resize the forums to scale for when people are using half-screen or whatever?
For example; HTTP://puu.sh/5alWI.jpg It gets cut off on the right side.
I like to half-screen forums sometimes while using 07 and sometimes rs3.
Oh thanks
I didn't know about that... I always zoomed in/out the hard way

Does anyone have any tips on cross browser compatible drop menus? ;o
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1895476/how-to-style-a-select-dropdown-with-css-only-without-javascript
Experimenting
E:
Going to try simulating it with divs and use an invisible one to make it keyboard responsive. The creation page is probably going to cause the biggest headaches >.<
E:
Also I'm a little confused because I couldn't find a good answer when I googled this, I hope you can help
For input and img tags, should I be doing:
<this />
or
<this>
E:

Looks like it doesn't matter :o
I've been closing all my tags because I think it makes it more readable.

Your Doctype will determine this.
I believe self closing tags pertain mostly to XML & XHTML. In HTML5 I wouldn't use them. I know is commonly said it doesn't really matter, however I have found cases where it does.
For example there are scenarios where using ajax and php where the self closing tags cause escaping issues, and the opposite can occur too, like HTMLentities getting messed up (remember these forums with < > ' " etc getting turned into & lt; ). Of course there are ways to get around this, but it's easily avoided by using the correct syntax for the doctype. I have been know to use both in some cases, and it depends on the situation, however if I were to go back I'd change it. I think if what you are doing is working and validates then it's all good

Not sure I can be any help with this, I'm very out of touch with other browsers since I started on RS-Linkify. Also not really sure what you want to do.

Yep, and not only that, the creation page is the most important part of it all. That will determine the success of all your work. However I'm confident it will be very successful
That reminds me, how do you feel about this...

Button to take you to poll creation page. Maybe the button should say "HLF Poll", I'm not sure please let me know if this is ok and what you want in regards to this.

I'm using a html5 doctype so it sounds like un-closed void tags are the way to go, I checked the documentation about how html5 parses void tags and it makes sense.
I'm trying to find a good way to select poll answer type (multiple choice/checkbox/rating).
My idea at the moment is to have an invisible select tag with functions linking it to a styled drop menu designed to look like the this one:
http://i.imgur.com/pQu4MUN.png
The reason for the invisible select tag is to set up keyboard shortcuts easier (tab from question field then up/down to go through answer type options, then tab to go to next field).
I can't find any examples of anyone doing this so maybe it's not a good way to do it. Perhaps I don't need it to be accessible through keyboard. That would be the easiest way to get it done.
I actually don't mind the headaches so much :p Learning and finding solutions to problems is what makes it interesting, and I'm really glad it's looking how I imagined it to look. I haven't looked into form validation at all yet so that'll be something interesting to learn, along with considering what limits I should set for input character lengths and form creation rate, number of questions and answers etc.
I'm happy with a create poll button there
One thing I haven't decided on is whether or not polls should be embedded outside of the first post (some other forums set this up as an option on thread creation). Either way, people can choose to put a link to a poll at any point in a thread so I wouldn't mind a poll creation button in the reply box
What do you think about an invisible character in the thread title listing the thread with a poll icon and/or [poll] tag? It wouldn't be easy to test lol
