What the fuck did I do to make it happen? I hadn't even been visiting for a week or so.  I thought Matt put some type of IP sniffer in and was just pissing me with.  Turns out it was your fault all along! 

You're the furthest away.

Ah, now I understand.  Because I'm the furthest away I'm causing the delay because the packets have to come way over here and then all they way back.  And since they have to do that they can't be over there doing stuff for you! I also think they are stopping off somewhere to visit PB or some female packets. They have grown arrogant and reckless.

That's it. Beehive/Teh does run on a token ring network, right?

I think so.

Touch wood, it seems okay at the moment?

Yep, spot on for me.

Aye, seems fine at the moment.

Was it one of those 'I'll leave it to fix itself overnight' kinda problems, or have you been tweaking?

Seems fine now, but Chrome on my laptop is running a bit slow. Can you fix that, too? (kiss)

Yeah, definitely better.

Much better.

New thumbses aren't up though, did you dislike them?

I just gave you a green thumb.  I still see them.

Thumbs don't work properly for me - think it's a caching issue. I've cleared cache etc., but after I click up/down vote it sometimes resets to nothing, or just sticks on what i've clicked (further/change of clicks/other people clicking doesn't show up)

Hmm, they work fine for me (504s aside). Maybe your votes are being discounted because you are wrong?

Ken: I did newer ones.

I was in bed watching TV and couldn't be arsed.

I was thinking maybe part of the problem is there isn't a tool-tip when you hover over them to explain what they do.

Also, maybe do some kind of on-hover icon change, so they go from a outline to the greyed state maybe?

(This really needs some CSS sprites to save loading all these images.)

It is a cache issue, but it's the whole page not just the thumbs. It's on my to do list.

I think the problem previous was that they were basically invisible so you couldn't tell which was which. The problem now is just that they look shit.

Hopefully the flat grey ones will be non-shit looking and usable.

I don't think it needs a tooltip or owt, it's pretty obvious what thumbs up/down does. So long as they are recognisably thumbs up/downses.

But yeah if the newer ones look shit then rollovers is probably the way to go. Be nice to overhaul all the icons with flat versions. The cartoony semi-3d ones are looking a bit dated now. Might do that if/when I'm bored enough if these ones look ok.

Get your phone and take some pictures of your thumbs in various states of upness and downness.
