@AndrewMacFie And are you sure they all don't get automatically loaded already? I mean, I don't want to give you a brute force method when it's not necessary
but you can always get the list of files in some directory with FileNames["blabla\\blabla\*.m]
Thanks for that too. I've been experimenting with different zoom levels, both "Text Zoom" and "Full Page Zoom" -- I've even experimented with Minimum Font Size but that tends to break things. (continued)
It sit farther from my screen than most do, and I really need things a bit larger or it kills my eyes. I realize that the design needs to accommodate the average user first, but if it is possible to make it more readable for others I hope you will consider that.
I also notice differences in the fonts as displayed in the prototype image and what I see. If you have time to talk about these things I'd love to try to figure out why.
@Mr.Wizard it's really what I should've done to begin with. I was afraid I may be running out of time before the launch, so I went with the easy way :)
@Jin Out of curiosity, since I've been meaning to ask...why does the Stack Exchange™ SuperCollider MultiDropdown™ get such vibrant/bold bands of colour on a lot of sites (here, DBA, Gaming), by the way? Catches me off guard a little on some of these sites, heh...maybe I spend too much time on Meta with its muted greys.
@TimStone i normally use site's accent color for the dropdown's header and footer. but I don't really do it consistently. I feel like Mathematica's is a bit too strong. I'll tweak that
Gotcha. And alright, cool. Also, I suppose it's not particularly relevant to...well anyone, but I find the build number in the footer a little hard to read.

Jin, please look at this image; on the left is what I see on the new design; on the right is a crop from the prototype image. The names on the right seem more readable. Is that because of the fonts I (don't) have installed?
in my mockup, I used Verdana for the names. but I felt on the live site it's too wide, in case some users' names are long. so I made it Heveltica/Arial stack
@belisarius uh... right. :^) I think I'm good though. BTW, many add-ons can be made to work by editing the .rdf file in.
@Jin rather than wasting your time by rambling about one detail or another I'm going to take some time to put my thoughts together and highlight the details that (ideally for me) might be changed.
I use thin chopped bacon slices(uncooked) as a flavoring agent. Also drop 1-2 eggs in there and stir, this adds texture.
I normally stir-fry some chopped steak on the side and dump in the ramen afterwards. I don't use the seasoning pack that comes with the ramen. For flavoring, I use ponzu sauc...

Since Jin has already put up the (nearly) final design for the main site, here's the final code for producing our official logo, as adapted from the code by wxffles and the coloring by Verbeia (which is what I used when I sent Jin the *.eps logo file):
p = Polygon[Table[N[{Cos[t], Sin[t]}], {t, ...
@term-rewritica don't think it matters... I certainly don't type more than 1 letter before my browser autocompletes. There's also a bookmark that I can simply click, and I assume most people have similar arrangements
I'm off to bed now. Just paid to see us graduate. Not sure whether I'll be around the next couple of days. Perhaps a Starbucks... Next week free wifi in cape cod ( I hope)
Hey @R.M, if a bunch of you are going to use the same avatar, could you at least vary them a bit? Like various amounts of rotation. Multiples of 2Pi/5 should be enough for you.
(I missed it too.) I seem to have lost the ability to select anything other than newest for the ordering of Questions -- nothing happens when I click. Do you have the same problem or is it on my end?
The "Sign up for the newsletter" button was too wide for me and the right edge was cut off. Unfortunately I foolishly pressed the button before I could take a screenshot and now I can't bring it back ... can anyone take a screenshot please?
@VitaliyKaurov You're right, there's a seam. I made the background tileable only in one direction (originally for the SE site only, which needs horizontal tiling). I'll try to make it tileable in both directions if possible ... I'll also update the code I posted on meta that generates the tilings so others can play with it.
@term-rewritica I think you may need to reload the page a couple of times before it shows you
@Mr.Wizard After a site graduates, the users have some control over what kinds of ads are shown on it through a meta thread like this one. It's not created by default, it seems it has to be requested by a mod (that's what happened on EE when I asked their mod if they thought anyone on their site would be interested in Mma.SE)
This might sound strange, but I think that the removal of Answers influences the look of the site more than the logo change. It's more balanced with a coloured Answers.
I am new to Mathematica and find this site very helpful. Much more than the MathGroup that is listed on the the community page of Mathematica, see Wolfram Support page.

I asked for this question to be migrated here. I'm not sure they'll do it because it isn't off topic on SO. I think it would be good to have it here as a "canonical version" to mark questions as duplicates of (e.g. this one).
Is anyone running the new, history-enabled version of the image uploader? If yes, how do you use the history feature? Do you tend to copy one URL at a time, or several? Do you it it would be better if the history window closed automatically when you copy an URL?
@Szabolcs We need other ways to celebrate, apart from confetti... ;) Rendering a wine bottle in Mathematica might not be the best challenge question, however.
(Maybe Heike or bel can come up with ideas later...)
How can I force a button to be standard size, just like in ChoiceDialog[]? Compare ChoiceDialog["boo"] with MessageDialog["boo", {"OK" -> 1, "Cancel" -> 1}]:
I think I have solved this before, but I forgot how (I used ChoiceButtons eventually, so the solution is not in my code. This time I can't use ChoiceButtons)
@R.M I mailed them about the black line. It's fixed now (you'll need to re-crop it, but you don't need to re-upload, to fix)
@J.M. well I just came up with a bunch of different things (it solves a recursion relation etc etc) but I guess you have a simple motivation. what is it?
@R.M Oh.. I remember now. Well, perhaps the right way to shape him as a good user (or scare him away) is posting just hints and not complete answers. may be doing that only in short comments. We should keep a list of those particular users in a shared doc to remember how to treat them :D
