Could you elaborate on the point in your second
paragraph? |
|

<a name="[hippo]'s annotation">Hmm!</a> |
|
| |
The .5b depends heavily on text, and requires time and patience to read and have a feeling of not yet having gotten all the meaning behind those words. Maybe the next time I read it ... |
|
| |
What was the idea again? And where did waugs say what and when? |

Is this my second annotation? |
|
| |
I like featureless environments. |

You'd just love Milton Keynes, [inf]. |

{14} This would be a hassle to use, I suspect, and a
hassle to programme, possibly. |
|
| |
A simpler suggestion: simply number the
annotations consecutively. This could be done
automatically. If an annotation is deleted, no
matter - the later ones don't change their
numbers and you just have some numbers that
aren't there. |
|
| |
If this were done, you could just refer to "Anno
{14}" or whatever. |
|
| |
It might look cluttery, which would be a shame.
But you could always give users the option to view
or hide the numbers. |
|
| |
//the numbers// like 110521 or something like that. |
|
| |
I think it could be even more useful (and so much simpler)
if links could be made to other annos or even grouped anno
threads on any HB page. Given some the tangents we go
off on, a string of annos discussing something totally off-
topic might turn out to be very relavent somewhere else. |
|
| |
Actually, I'm just trying to sew chaos and confusion. Old
habits die hard. |

The way to do this, if it turned out to be something to do, is to make the date text that appears next to the username at the end of the annotation into a clickable "permalink" using anchor tags and an auto- generated auto-numbering sequence count based on how many annotations have already been created on an idea. |
|
| |
Thus, the HTML code that would appear for the date on my first annotation at the top of this idea would look something like this: |
|
| |
<a href = "http:// www.halfbakery.com/idea/ Links_20to_20annotations#1" >May 17 2011</a> |
|
| |
...which when clicked would take you directly to that annotation, even if linked from another page. |
|
| |
The simplest way to handle auto-generated count is to use part of the date/time stamp for the anchor handle. This will maintain the chronological sequence. |
|
| |
This set-up does nothing for situations when there are several annotations by the same contributor, but as [8th of 7] only demonstrated the potential to explain the reasons for that, we have to disregard that for now. |
|
| |
I say "if" this turned out to be something to do, which I should like to opine it is not such a something and it ought not be done for the sake of the halfbakery's simplicity. |

We were with you right up to that last line, [tatter]. |
