Thanks. I have changed the default in IE7 and it now looks better on my PC. No doubt the next time I connect to the office network it will revert to Times New Romanjdaw1 wrote:It uses your default font. Whatever is your usual preference.

I will make sure the TNs have the same font choices as the rest of TPF.
Re: Time for a TN sort?

Also matching change to www.ThePortForum.com/Tasting_Notes/alphabetical.html.

Press reload. Or alt-reload. Or maybe control-reload.
Re: Time for a TN sort?
Better. But perhaps the logo could replace the http://www.ThePortForum.com link in the top right?
Or, even better place it top left with ThePortForum link to its right as shown on every other page and move the creator's blatant attempt at self promotion to the top right?
phpBB added "http://" to the above link on its own. Not me, Gov.

Re: Time for a TN sort?
A suggested improvement: There are many years in the 1800s in the grid that are classic declared vintages that we have not yet tasted. Perhaps these deserve to have the same bold font and dark background as those we have been fortunate enough to taste in order to give them the prominence they deserve?

Re: Time for a TN sort?
Using Geoffrey M. Tait's Port - From the Vine to the Glass (1936) as a reference, the following vintages are classified as Very Good, Very Good Indeed or Very Fine Indeed:
1806, 1812, 1815, 1820, 1834, 1840, 1844, 1847, 1851, 1858, 1863, 1868, 1875, 1978, 1884, 1887 and 1896.
Early 20th Century vintages that share the same range of classifications from Tait are; 1900, 1904, 1908, 1912, 1927 and 1931 - which provides a good benchmark against which to judge the 19th Century vintages listed above.

Re: Time for a TN sort?
Both updated:I’ve added a few personal-preference vintages to the canonical list.
Re: Time for a TN sort?
Is it worth adding 1800-1809 in order to include the 1806 "Very Good" vintage?

Re: Time for a TN sort?
The white background and placement of the logo and title are all much better. Well done!
It may or may not be intentional, but the title does not use the default browser font. It's the same on normal TPF pages.

I thought about that. Then thought that this is a set of internal links, not a daydream.DRT wrote:Is it worth adding 1800-1809 in order to include the 1806 "Very Good" vintage?

That was my point. The question, albeit hidden, was: is that intentional or should it (the TPF title) be using the default font?jdaw1 wrote:I think it’s doing the same as TPF now.DRT wrote:It may or may not be intentional, but the title does not use the default browser font.

It now looks excellent. Many thanks again for the effort in doing this.

Re: Time for a TN sort?
Thanks for the great work Julian!
One question: would it be possible to place links to these pages on the top of the Tasting Notes page? It would eliminate the necessity of going back to the Board Index when wanting to look up a specific tasting note.

Re: Time for a TN sort?
The easiest way to reinstate these links on the forum view page would be to show the forum descriptions on the forum view pages. I believe that all that is required is a change to this section of the viewforum_body.html file to remove the display: none;:RonnieRoots wrote:One question: would it be possible to place links to these pages on the top of the Tasting Notes page?

Code: Select all
<!-- NOTE: remove the style="display: none" when you want to have the forum description on the forum body -->
<!-- IF FORUM_DESC --><span style="display: none">{FORUM_DESC}<br /></span><!-- ENDIF -->

Re: Time for a TN sort?
I've used the Forum Rules functionality to achieve this. Colour is a bit annoying but that will require a change of stytle, it does stand out though.

Re: Time for a TN sort?
On another subject. What sort of English Maths graduate uses 'Indexes' instead of 'Indices'? Anybody with the excuse that an American used the word 'Index' for database indices needs to sit in a corner and think about what they've done wrong. It would be like when using parent-child relationships to use the plural 'Childs' just because the first person to use it in that context was a muppet.
Port is basically a red drink

It's great, thanks. The colour doesn't bother me too much, but I can imagine that Chief Style would want to alter it slightly.admin wrote:I've used the Forum Rules functionality to achieve this. Colour is a bit annoying but that will require a change of stytle, it does stand out though.
