RE: [Phpwiki-talk] Version Criteria

[Sergio T. <ser...@ho...>]

Frank and Jean-Bernard,

Thanks for your helpful suggestions. The version of PHPWiki I have (I don't 
think it comes from CVS tree) has a tick box named "This is a minor change." 
but I had not seen this tick box before, because I have problems with my eye 
sight so I make the fonts on my browser with really big point sizes, so this 
sometimes causes problems with how a browser displays the HTML layout on the 
screen (HTML visuals really do nott scale very well) and if I don't scroll 
around enough (both horizontal and vertical scrolling), I sometimes miss 
features like the "This is a minor change." check box. I long for the day 
when Web publishers do a much better job of supporting CSS and SVG and 
therefore creating interfaces which are adaptable such as for people who 
have eye vision handicaps like me.

Again, thank you immensely for your help and your extra set of eyes :-)

Serg
