Radio button (May affect all style sets)
 
The radio button near Quick Quote in the Dark Cloud style set does not work. Instead of being able to click a "dot" inside the radio button nothing happens. But it does seem clicking on the radio button still functions as I did see the quote appear in the quick reply. Thought you should know.

Any similiar problems experienced by anyone?

Specs: Using IE 5.5

yuppers, I have the same thing happening to me on multiple computers. No dot in radio button, but the quote still appears. Quite misleading initially. So it works like an ordinary button, instead of a radio button.

Quite misleading initially though....

it's doing that on purpose... it's just bad design if you do it any other way

option 1: dot appears, quote appears
bad: you can click on it again, quote appears again, but dot disappears .. not consistant design
good: lets people know they clicked.. at least once

option 2: dot appears, quote appears, button is disabled
bad: what if you delete the quote or alter it and totally fubar it? You're gonna wanna re-quote it. Cant, though.
good: leaves no question if the button has been clicked, clean design

option 3: click, quote, reset
bad: may be misleading
good: reusability, clean design

Perfect explanation. Never gave it that kind of thought.
*applause* Well done.

The other thing if I remember right was that instantly after clicking the quote button you would be brought to the bottom of the page where the quick reply was sitting. But that would be quite annoying if you were planning to quote multiple posts. So I'm assuming that's why you changed the quick quote text into a link that if you were indeed finished you would quickly be brought to the quick reply box or "vb form" by clicking it. That is, if I'm right.

Great thoughts. Never realized you planned it out that well. :thumbsup:
