Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Ideas Forum/Communication ChannelsThe Ideas section could be a lot more productive and useful if it were patrolled more often to remove spam and weed out ideas that have been implemented and ones for which there already is a plugin. Additionally, it might be better to make clear that it is not the place for just any plugin request.
In short, give some good people moderator powers so that Ideas becomes a productive place again.

In reply to: 4/25 Weekend Design Challenge CommentsAn addition to my previous comments, I want to say I fully agree that this urge to keep changing the layout of the dashboard doesn’t help many of us at all. I also implement WP as a CMS for clients, and having to explain that the admin interface has changed again is always a letdown.
Make it themeable, folks, make it fully themeable — and stop changing around stuff that breaks the themes or forces us to change support material again. Also agree with the suggestion that the most popular entries should be implemented as choices.

In reply to: 4/25 Weekend Design Challenge CommentsThe file mt-dp-up.png (the one by GB if I’m correct) best preserves the classy WordPress look that I think fits the matured WP2.8 or 2.9. Big and classy serif fonts have been a WordPress hallmark for years now. Never change a winning formula. JJ’s design also preserves this classy style. If I could vote for more than one, I would vote for these two.
The Fluency style sans-serif headers do nothing for me; I suppose it looks trendy (well, sort of early 00’s) but the visual design is no longer a unity in these mockups. The same problem holds for KM and IK. Besides, the Swiss-style sleek sans-serif font used in these mockups is not actually available cross-browser, so that would probably bring it to Arial, which would be a letdown.
KD’s solution is to place the blog header in a shape similar to the shortcut button. That suggests interaction (a button) to me where there is none (except perhaps in MU installations); besides, I don’t know about the green.
The curved tab in the header of wp28.png (AN) doesn’t really fit with the overall visual language of the rest of the admin.
(Next time the files should have consistent names…)

In reply to: [Plugin: Tangofy] Very nice!Agreed! This plugin makes me happy. Especially the MAX versions where you get a large icon before the page title — the interface is much more unified and image-driven this way. Sterling work!

In reply to: Auto-Update Failure in WordPress 2.7Thanks lightwolf, that saved me a lot of headaches!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: Dashboard Editor] Doesn’t work for 2.7This is probably because the new Dashboard in 2.7 is meant to include options like that natively. Nevertheless I am still looking for a plugin that helps users do it.

In reply to: [Plugin: Maintenance Mode] Stay away from this the maintenance mode pluginWorks fine for me on 2.7.
These files should work out of the box if you have selected the right language WordPress-wide and if a German translation of EC is available in \lang\.

In reply to: Pictures/Gallery Insertion Code not XHTML 1.0 Strict CompliantI’m also just looking at this issue, and my problem is not so much with the validation as well as with the fact that I don’t like inline CSS that I can only remove by editing core files.
Can this be fixed without editing any of the core files?

In reply to: TinyMCE Advanced no more workingNo problems with 2.6.2 here (but I didn’t upgrade, started from scratch), so it must be something with the upgrade process. Sorry, no help, but it does narrow down the options.

In reply to: Multilingual and WP 2.5It does seem Gengo has come alive again, with Pixline releasing a WP 2.5 compatible version recently.
