Results tagged “menu” from Plurk Skins

Today we are going to turn our attention to the very top of the screen. There you will find a horizontal set of links that provide you access to your profile, your friends list, alerts, interesting plurkers, your account, and the ability to log off. By default these will display over the top of the background as text links. If you are using a background like our diamondplate these links can sometimes become lost. We will therefore make some CSS changes and see if we can get the top of the window to more closely match the rest of our theme.

This is a sure sign that you have completely lost your mind when it comes to modifying your profile. The Plurk development team introduced a new color scheme for the drop down menu next to the Plurk Message Author's name. Rather than being appreciative of their hard work and admiring the job they did; I immediately began scouring the CSS to identify what tags they were using so that I could modify it. I wonder if there are psychologists that now specialize in helping people with obsessive CSS disorders? While I contemplate whether CSS obsession is covered under my medical insurance, let's see if we can modify this new section to fit aesthetically with the theme we are building for our profile.

Today the development team responsible for Plurk updated the home page which included several new features. The lower left side of the page now contains five tabs that describe various groups of Plurk users.

• Most Viewed - these are users whose profiles are viewed most often. Some of these users are very active while others are celebrities but no necessarily active in the Plurk community.


• Most Followed - these are users who are actively being followed either as a friend or as a fan. These users tend to be a little more active as they have at least had to acknowledge a friend request


• New - these are new users that have just joined Plurk.


• Random - these users have been random selected by the system to provide other Plurk users an opportunity to meet someone new that they may otherwise not see on their timeline.


• Karma - these are the top 10 users on Plurk with the highest Karma scores. They tend to be the most active users currently on Plurk.

On the lower right side of the page are two tabs dealing with Plurk messages.

• Most Responded - these are Plurk messages which have had the most active conversation going on. It's always interesting to see what subjects have people carrying on for the longest conversations. I see these are Plurk filibusters (does that make them Plurlibusters?)


• Most Recent - these Plurk messages are the ones the system has just seen started. This is a chance to get in on the ground floor of a conversation before it becomes long-winded or dies.
