Almost done changing all of the .png CSS sprites to svg. Your circledots should look crisper this morning. Thanks to insomniasexx for putting in much of the effort here. Starting on a new funky update tomorrow. EDIT: I also made the linking behavior in the feed more predictable. It used to swap the feed for the post page on an external link.
I wondered about that trade-off. But if it increased comments, it wasn't by a noticeable amount. I figured it was best to go with the design strategy of not breaking expected behavior. I actually liked the behavior, but it would even strike me as odd sometimes after going elsewhere on the web.
Hey, Lil just posted a post regarding this change. I just commented on it with one way we could set it up to make everyone happy. Maybe check it out and let us know your thoughts. I do know that tng loved this behavior even more than me. It seems like there are quite a few people who became familiar with it and loved it.
Thanks. After building the hubwheel svg referencing veen's and mike's mathematical descriptions of the logo, I realized that I could easily make a progressive svg badge. Once that occurred to me, it made perfect sense; the wheel up top earns you badges to give away, so it is best represented as a badge. Also, it's nice that the whole thing reflects one notification color.
