Re: Why I hate voting -or- a grown man's plea to change vote submission

Personally, I've long thought PM needs a rewrite rule such that rather than /?node_id=287487 links would point to /287487/ .. Simply removing the action from any form on the page would then automatically have the browser returning to the right page, among other effects. Search engines like this better too. (Yes, I know about thepen.)

Makeshifts last the longest.

thepen was created because it was possible without the red tape of changing PM (the difficulty of making changes to an active site and the fact that the power to make even the most trivial changes means having the power to blow the whole thing away so very few people can authorize changes). It was not because it was considered a better solution (though I'm certainly glad to have it). I'd love to eventually have perlmonks.org/287487 and perlmonks.org/robot/287487 (this later resulting in google-friendly style such as no chatterbox, etc.) - tye	[reply]
