sorry, that was harsh. I've dealth with a lot of bullshit problems like this in my stupid career

Taking away from the impactful message by not presenting it well will hurt the amplification

Period

it's probably not a thing we can solve with money. It might be something we can solve by tweaking the template, but we won't know until Erich is done with eggs and bakey

Fwiw the WordPress skin on my wedding website doesn't have this problem

And was also free

it's is almost certainly a skinning issue

Yesssss, wedding exposé

but as with all such things, fixing one thing will break something else

so it comes down to time and developer bandwidth

loathe as I am to disagree with Amber about anything, the color shift problem isn't THAT bad. It's not like we're using blink tags

Greatnorthern's blog also doesn't have this problem

but it's a legit beef. If we can fix it with a simple template change, that's desirable

Neither of them have spreadsheets though, I can't be totally sure

I just know that all the pages in this skin only take up half my screen on mobile

Some skins are better in Mobile than others. And there might be an option to enable better mobile compatibility

tables fuck EVERYTHING

It's not a color shift, it's the list being off the page and not fit to content

it is known

I mean, welcome to HTML 3.0

le sigh

Then go back to the list Erich had, highlight important names and link the spreadsheet

Done, problem fixed

It really is the table screwing it up hmm

Text list, link sheet, hyperlink important names #notes

<table><tr><td>column</td><td>other column</td></tr></table> fuck my life kill me with acid

And embed the sheet where you want it would work. But I think we've had this argument before.

eh. It's up to Erich. He can fiddle with it or not.

He needs to fiddle with it

It would definitely be good to have the landing page be more readable. Text list would work on that.

If I never debug another table formatting screen fit mobile desktop tablet fuck why doesn't this look perfect on MY screen issue again in my life it will be too soon

And maybe be more impactful.

It's probably good. We have two serious issues: the extraneous comment on the riot...one page and the table formatting issue on the homapage for mobile browsers

he'll probably have a couple of waking hours to spend on these things before intended launch. Both should be manageable.

And almost six hours to go. Thinking of what other things have been achieved in 6 hours it should be ok

if we can also solve some punctuation things and such, that's gravy

👍

yeah. we've come an awfully long way in the last 42

It's not about me, it's the audience. If we want people to take the message seriously, it must be presented professionally. If we can't figure out website formatting, why would anyone trust our ability to bring them accurate and complex information?

?

Quick question regarding this file: are all the docs in from the WB?

I'm not arguing with you, it's just an obnoxious problem to have to solve.

And I'm never going to get caught up when every time I try there's another 100 missed messages. :(

WB has nothing left to give us.

Understood

work harder!

But is everything in there from them? Written by them?

Specifically the docs?

The riot doc is stock I think not written by them?

everything in the shared folder 'WB Docs' was submitted by WB.

Any chink in the armor will be an opportunity for the people this embarrasses

I get you

Then don't say it's obnoxious, it's central

I can still hate it yo

That's fine

Would the table problem, if unfixable in the time we have, be lessened by the splash page with Anatomy of A Hit content that was discussed? That could be the primary packaging and people might look past the table issues after being sucked in by that.

I hate most of the bullshit I have to do

It's obnoxious like a Trump presidency. Doesn't mean we shouldn't fix it, just not sure how to do that well in the next 5.75 hours

Erich did it right initially. List, embed link to sheet

If we want to color change/bold/link to relevant posts the important people on the list that's much less involved

if we're going to display that table inline, no.


First fix is to change the skin and hope that wordpress has something that's optimized for mobile. Second fix is to shift from table to raw text list, which (in my opinion please don't beat me up over it) is worse than a busted table.

It's all about appearances

but it's all splitting hairs. Neither method is going to fuck anything up.

Leading with 'anatomy' might be kinda great, but it's late in the game

if wordpress has a skin that comfortably fills a high percentage of the browser width, instead of a fixed width, and that also doesn't completely fuck the rest of the presentation, that'll probably work fine

the table is the only thing in the content that is really dependent on formatting

Lists also fix the search problem

Or just change background color to the same as of that in the pages

lol yes

it would still be broken, it just wouldn't LOOK broken, so lol

You know, our respected opponents are going to accuse us of keeping track of player data when we leave this website up. It's exactly their style

they're going to say every damn thing in the world.

NUH UH
SO WHAT?
NO U DID!
UR MOM!

these things would be true no matter what argument we were making

NO U's all the way down

It's their way

The analogs between this situation and my day job are hilarious to me

"Hi! We caught you stealing our software. Please buy it and also stop being awful."
"NUH UH IT WAS FREE OUR INTERN SAID SO"
"Allow me to introduce you to our General Counsel"

have the upper hand. Giggle at the stupid counterarguments. It's fine.

Is that a me issue?

As in my data or phone?

Yes

I can see it until I click on it

Damn it

Because there's so many images in one sheet

Need to download them all

Happened to me too. Got to faster internet and there they we're

So that's a no go for me before release then.

I'll be on a ferry on low signal

Fml

And fuck the ferry

It's not a big deal, just grab the google sheet

it has exactly the same data, just not the images. But the data is extracted from the images, and we spent a lot of eyeball time on getting that right. It's correct. Maybe a transcription error or 2

imma take a nap. bb in time for final site review

stuff goes live in 5ish hours
