I’m a fan of [Fontsquirrel](http://www.fontsquirrel.com/), since they tend to have full typeface kits (not just individual fonts) and they also package them up in `@font-face`-compatible files with the CSS prewritten. ---

Has it already been mentioned that when you click on someone’s icon and then “Private Message”, nothing happens? “Visit Profile” works, though. ---

Hmmm… It worked for me. ---

Yeah, I was having that problem yesterday when I tried to PM @Nabiki for access to one of the special groups. Click their icon, click PM, nothing works. Visit Profile worked, and clicking Private Message from there worked, just not from the icon. Edit: Just tested it here: Still not working in Chrome on Win 7. Click icon, click Private Message and nothing happens. ---

Hmm, confirmed with my non-admin test account. Works fine for admin, though. [Bug report posted!](http://meta.discourse.org/t/non-admins-cant-send-pms-from-profile-pic-link-can-duplicate-on-meta/10734) ---

I guess I could have mentioned I’m also using Chrome, but with OSX 10.6.8. ---

And now the main page header (“Big Dinosaur Forums” and the dinosaur head) is compressed. It’s fine on this page, but really rather tiny on the main one. ---

> [@Sunbeam](#): > > And now the main page header (“Big Dinosaur Forums” and the dinosaur head) is compressed. It’s fine on this page, but really rather tiny on the main one. I thought I fixed that already ☹ OK, lemme look. Should be a quick tweak. Edit - Quick fix deployed. ---

> [@Lee\_Ars](#): > > OK, this should be fixed now! Sort of, at least. The button now works, but it takes me to the person’s userpage before it opens up the Private Message window. Not sure if that is intended behavior or not. I’d have thought it’d just come up at the bottom like the Reply window does. ---

I was poking through the admin console, and when I looked under banned users, it came up with everyone! Obviously, that’s not the case, but I’ve attached a screen shot of what I see. ![](http://cog.discourse.group/uploads/cog/52/817bac4718e5a77d.png) ---

Huh, that’s…obviously not right! Lemme do an update and see if it’s still like that. BRB. ---

Fixed! Looks like there were some significant changes behind the scenes. Should be better now! One weird side effect is that the admin dashboard now has default themeing. That’s…weird. But, hey, at least everything works! Edit - or not. Admin dashboard is looking properly skinned now. I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON. ---

You mean we don’t get to ban people anymore? We can only suspend them? Where’s the fun in that? ---

I like the response times up in the corner. It’s neat seeing how long each page takes to respond. ---

That’s the miniprofiler! It’s actually clickable if you want even more info: ![](http://cog.discourse.group/uploads/cog/53/b713ccb86d0bca98.png) I started a (very short) [thread on meta](http://meta.discourse.org/t/miniprofiler-times-whats-appropriate-whats-fast-whats-cause-for-concern/8150/3) asking about specific numbers. From that I learned that our instance of discourse performs well. Yay!
