Title:
zoomable userpics/icons

Area:
userpics/icons

Summary:
Show userpics/icons as 100x100 in posts, but allow the viewer to zoom in/blow up the icon to see detail, etc.

Description:
Many of my icons are comic panels, and at 100x100px the text can get *really* small. I'd like to be able to use the icons and when people are interested in what they say, they can click on the icon (or do some other intuitive thing) to see a bigger version (limited by image disk-space size) where the text is readable, etc.

Tag bug.

[allanh]

Title:
Tag bug.

Area:
site tags and cross posting

Summary:
If a message is composed in Rich Text mode, and the <user name="xxxxx" site="livejournal.com"> tag is used, Rich Text mode seems to decide that those are literal, and not interpretive, characters...so what you get instead of a neat little user icon is the full text of each tag embedded in both the original and the (LJ) crossposted message.

Description:
Change the Rich Text mode editor to accept the <user name="xxx" site="livejournal.com"> tags, and/or provide a button for it that will insert something that the Rich Text parser will recognize as a tag, and not a literal.

Make link to icons page go to the relevant icon

Title:
Make link to icons page go to the relevant icon

Area:
entries and comments

Summary:
Icons on entries and comments have a link to the user's icons page. Make the link go directly to the icon that you clicked on.

Description:
The problem: Denise is hosting another discussion of what should go in alt and title attributes of icons. I can't be the only person who can see the icon but often can't tell what I'm looking at, so I want to be able to access the description, hoping it will answer the question "Who is that?" or "What does that fancy text say?" But putting that info in the alt and title so that we can see it on the mouse-over tooltip doesn't help people without mice, and might conflict with the proper use of the attributes for people using non-visual browsers. The obvious workaround is to follow the link to the icons page; that's all very well if they have 5 icons, but not so convenient if they have 105!

Proposed solution: make it easier to find the available info for a specific icon, by making the link to user.dreamwidth.org/icons go directly to the icon in question instead. You could do this by putting an anchor on each listed icon, or perhaps there's some part of the table structure that could be addressed.

Drawbacks: maybe it would make the icons page and comments pages take longer to load if there's lots of extra anchor points and calculating which one to link to? I don't think it would be much of an increase on what's there already, though.
