more than a few people missing from this cropped image





and I just love these photos with a little individuality to them... I choose a loan quite often because the image stands out from the rest in some way.

That's a wonderful photo of the woman on the far right.  :-)

Does anyone know when the team names were truncated on the loan pages?  I don't recall it being this way before, but currently the team names seems to be limited to somewhere between 9 and 17 characters with an ellipse indicating that there is more.  I suppose this has been done to limit the team name to one line; however, the result is somewhat arbitrary, such as on this loan where the remembering Ross Werner team becomes remembering Ross... but the Atheists, Agnostics, Skeptics, Freethinkers, Secular Humanists and the Non-Religious becomes just the Atheists...

Cutting off team names seems disrespectful to me in the same way that cutting off photographs is, can we please see full team names on the loan pages?

Thanks,

Hello Kerry!

I hadn't noticed this until you mentioned it... but wanted to point out one pretty big difference between team names and pictures.  Namely: if you mouseover the team name, the full team name appears immediately as a mouseover.  So in that sense, it felt like there was a pretty clear path if someone was curious about what the rest of the team name was?  (And one that didn't require actually clicking on the username.)

Thanks, John!

It's good to know that the names of the teams can be seen without clicking on them.

I have a suggestion about the My Portfolio page.

Currently it shows the last ten messages that were posted to my teams. But if one of my teams had ten messages within the past hour (a lively discussion, probably more likely in the LLL's than any other team) and my other teams had messages five hours ago, the last ten messages would all be for one team, and I wouldn't know that I had messages in the other teams. Would it be a good idea to modify this to show the last ten teams that had messages, rather than the last ten messages?
