SNEEZE you fool, SNEEZE!
Anecdote; at my very 1st band practice this weekend, I ended an improv ensemble piece with a very well timed sneeze. Nothing says "it's over!" like an explosive burst of moisture on a theremin.

From:
Ken
Yes, thanks to Buz for the inspiration on the new comments layout, and to Kenzo for the execution. We still await Buz's next incarnation of this basic idea.. which is to allow the song currently playing and the most recent comment to appear at the same time on the screen.

i might have the 101 strings version of september song, but i'm at work right now, and when i get home i'll have to plow through tons and tons of vinyl. haven't seen that record in years....

....... is liking the new frame format. have you considered putting the new posts at the top of the frame rather than at the bottom so the reader does not have to scroll down to the very bottom to see if anyone has posted something new?

Wed. 9/19/07 9:54am

Framinator - The comments are supposed to go to the bottom so that the most current comment always appears just aboce the input box. It sounds like that aint happening for you, though. What browser ate you using (and which version)?
Wed. 9/19/07 10:01am

Internet Explorer Version 6.0. Man, I am so totally 2004. I need to upgrade my life, or at least my computer.
Wed. 9/19/07 10:01am
From:

I really think it would be best if the input frame were on the top and the comments were listed in reverse chronological order. It would prevent us having to scroll down in order to view the most recent comments.

I'm having the same issue using IE 7. Every 30 second refresh, the listener comments refreshes to the top of the list
Wed. 9/19/07 10:03am
From:

When I post, my new post inotially appears right above the input box. When the screen refreshes, The beginning of the listener comments appears right above the input box.

Wed. 9/19/07 10:06am
From:
The Framinator
A little off topic, i will concede, but I think you need to increase the difficulty of the math problems that are the gateway to posting. Perhaps you should introduce some multiplication and division problems. Using the math problem as a meaningful screening tool may increase the quality of the posts.

Our Math Pledge to you: No WFMU Listener Will Ever Be Forced To Carry The One Against Their Will. Sounds like the frames aint working right in all browsers. It's fine in Firefox 2.0. Kenzo will weight in on this..

Fun fact: "Wir Lesen Zeitung" means "We read newspapers" I think.
This layout is much better than the old one, indeed.
I feel like a total dorf complaining about the comments layout, for the record, but if nobody makes suggestions the thing won't improve. :-/

test test - 920 ! <kssscchhctt> 686 !
This page opens up in IE6 with the frame automatically dropped to the most recent comment, but unlike firefox and like the playlist over there in the other frame, it refreshed to the top of the comment page.
So, the same as the playlist has always been?

On comments about comments:
1) For what it's worth, the new 3-frame layout wasn't inspired by or based on Buz's suggested redesign.
2) Buz's suggested redesign is really cool.
3) Framinator: You use IE 6 and you feel you should upgrade? Indeed, you should upgrade to Firefox or Opera.
4) I will soon be attempting to resolve the problem that occurs in IE wherein the comments frame doesn't jump to the bottom when the page refreshes itself.
5) When I had the "no carrying" math idea, I thought it would make things easy for people. Perhaps y'all might appreciate it if I changed it so you always just have to add zero. But maybe the occasional calculus problem might be good.
6) Does anyone read comments this far down? Give the code phrase "king of the dues!!" if you do.
