[thesite] test.evolt.org change fyi

[isaac]

I've made more changes:

http://test.evolt.org/article/comment/22/3631/index.html

 - Box is now narrower
 - Layout altered
 - .jeff has added code that will stop the email link appearing if they
don't want it there
 - New "bio" link will jump down to an author's bio if it exists
 - Commented out rating info which was not working accurately. I don't think
my average rating (given or received) is 1.78... We might include this info
on the member page or something.

They appear as a badge of honour. evolt.org is more than articles on a site.
It's a fair distinction to make, IMHO, that that badge is reflective of a
wider status within the community. How we judge that will be a different
matter. For now, we have the cubes to display the rough value, and then the
exact figure cos it's cool.

> btw, your version has [?] what's that for ?

Was so that people knew that they could find out what the cubes are.
Currently, there's no indication from the image that it's a link. I thought
that we couldn't assume that every user will mouseover, but it's fairly
standard practise within most communities (especially message boards). I've
left it out for now.

I think it might be, but anyway.

Already fixed it. It needed to be classed as "sidebar" instead of "side".

Perhaps we'll keep it there for the added option for users. And it's loss
for those not wanting to show their address does not effect the layout. I
spotted jeff's code in there that appears to handle it OK (the "leaveout"
variable, right jeff?).

Thanks for checking it out and providing your input.
