, thank you for your work over the last several weeks. I personally appreciated them. I hope we'll see you around the Signpost, even sporadically, in the future! Best of luck, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 21:58, 17 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, I think the noncollapsing Vector navigation menu is broken. This situation reminds me of the old saw about the difference between a "bug" and a "feature": A feature is a bug that has been documented. Seriously, though I do recognize that the peekaboo rendering of hidden content is problematic, I'm not sure this is the most elegant workaround. I certainly never thought it was one of the biggest performance hits degrading user experience. "Premature optimization is the root of all evil."[//en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth#Computer_Programming_as_an_Art_.281974.29]  I don't mean to shoot the messenger. Thank you Edokter for the reportage. ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:02, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It might be helpful to state that "the Toolserver" is tools.wikimedia.de, whereas "Tool Labs" is tools.wmflabs.org. --Lambiam 22:57, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
