I'm glad to see all my stories in one place. This is a good update that I have some comments about.


I understand why you are hiding the kanji, and I would like the option to turn that feature off for myself because I find it distracting, and my mouse often goes where I am looking anyway.

I think it would be an improvement to combine the two stories pages into one by allowing me to sort by number of stars and reports. Even if you don't go for that, I would expect to see the stories with the most stars/reports on the top when I am viewing those sections on the public stories page.

It looks like the "Public stories" link has the number of stories by it, and the "All my stories" link does not.

There are at least two disadvantages to using onclick: I cannot click on a link in a story, e.g. "plug up (FRAME 1321)", and I cannot CTRL+click to open the frame in a new tab. Of course, those with Javascript disabled cannot use it either, but they know what price they are paying.


I like the update is a big improvement. Don't let the puny things I say above get in the way of that message.

Even if you could click on it, you would end up on the same page, as the link reference is simply "?framenum=123", which would expand to "http://kanji.koohii.com/study/my-stories.php?framenum=123". To work around this, my Story links script both alters the click event handler and the link reference, prepending "/study/" to it. Fabrice would need to do the same, though I can't vouch that the change to the event handler (calling e.stopPropagation()) would work on any browser other than Firefox.

True, I will try to make the stories clickable without Javascript. It's possible to make the whole story block as a link via CSS, I went for the easier solution first.

Behavior still unchanged. I also noticed that my solution had the unpleasant side-effect of blocking the ctrl- and shift-functionality. Need to find something else, but if Fabrice is on the case, that's perhaps not even needed. (Starts waiting...)

Hya woelpad, I don't know what you were talking about with click events and such. I plan to use the A tag as main container element instead of a div, that should work fine in CSS in badboy IE6 as well. Then you can click the whole area. I'd like to post the fix this w-e, hopefully. I have to "refactor" nearly everything and move onto php5 and much more OOP otherwise Trinity is gonna be an ugly mess..

Why was the "public stories" link removed without that function being merged into the My Stories page?
