Little things #announcement fstdt.com blog

Been rather busy, but have two thoughts to bounce off folks.

I'd mentioned a header with access to the existing pages and few other bits of functionality. Well, the one big bit in my mind would be keeping current archive prominent on all pages, as well as allowing people to change archive at any given time and remain on the same page. All seems reasonably useful. Well, the recent fix to the Random page brought up at least one point where people like to see quotes mixed together, so I'm very seriously considering an 'all archives' selection. Perhaps even making it the default instead of fundies. Thoughts on what the default should be?

Public admin and the handling of new quotes has been another issue that's come up and it occurred to me there's a pretty simple answer I could build into the new system since it allows for voting on 100% of quotes. As soon as any quote hits the approval threshold it's shunted into one of two categories, either approved or final admin. Final admin only applying to records which have noted issues on them and everything else appears on the main page immediately after the last vote to approve. With enough people in the admin queue it'd drastically reduce wait times and the work I have to do to keep the site running. If anyone sees a hole in it let me know before I get my hopes up. Only big difference I can think of is that quotes would appear throughout the day rather than a whole bunch once a day.

Lastly, I've seen some off hand complaints about the submission page, but nothing specific. It's my next thing to poke at design wise, so I'd love to have some detailed feed back on what people do or don't like about the current submission system.
