Doing the show all results per page thing can cause a bit of load to a server, tho I might add something like the bug system, a drop down with 10 20 30 40 50 60 and All, again could you file a feature request for it on pearweb ? :) > > Something like http://pear.php.net/package-stats.php is very > nice, > though I don't understand why it's a scrollable area inside the page and > ~ not just uses the page itself for it ... but if that list could be made > alphabetically (not particular this one, as it would defeat the purpose > of the page) somewhere, that would be great. The scroller is old stuff, I think it was so the table header would always be visible ya know, wonder if people feel like seeing that is required or not, comments ? > > Besides that (and before everything hates me because I'm only > criticizing :) the changes look refreshing and very good :) Well it was the good kind of criticizing you just did, thanks and thanks for the compliment, the web team thanks you :) Regards Helgi
