Hi Baldrick,

I know you're busy following the move, but I've just thought of something that I know I'd find useful - A "Tools Wish List".

There's been loads of times when I've been reading posts and various tools have been mentioned. I use the link to open them in a different session and think "I must try to remember that tool - I may need it oneday / I'll download it later".

How about a simple link we could click to store the desired tool in a "wish list" (stolen from Amazon.com), similar in functionality to the "Personal Guides List" you introduced a little while ago?

Thanks.

Why not make a browser 'favorites' folder for yourself, then stick each tool in that folder for further examination/download?

I suppose that'd work to a degree - but it's only local to one machine. They'd not be accessible if anyone were at a different PC.

Hi Baldrick / Mods,

I'm still finding that I'd find this functionality useful - anyone else have any views (either way)?

Cheers...

Hi Baldrick - Superb, much appreciated. Thank you. All I have to do now is scour recent posts for the tools that caught my eye... ohmy.gif

I've changed the subject title so it's now more relevant.

I gave the "guides" code a pretty good work out when you released that, so this should be OK. I've had a quick look and all seems fine so far.

A couple of possibly related problems though:

1. I've got my "Text Size" setting to "Smallest" in IE5.5, but the text in the drop down boxes on the tools page are larger than the standard site text size (this is only for IE5.5 and IE6.0 - I've also tried Netscape 7.2, Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 and Opera 7.54, and they're all fine).

2. Also, the text in all the "List all by XXX" buttons and the "Popular tools" button is too big for the button on all the browsers I've listed above. See screen shot:



This is from IE5.5 / IE6.0 so you can see the large text in the drop down boxes too.

Cheers, Daamon.

The large font on IE5.5? So guessing IE6.0 too - that PCs not free anymore.

Yes - Went down every high-level link in the left pane and evey drop-down box (except "advanced search" in the "forums") has font too big. Did the same in Firefox and all OK.
