Bug – Graphical
If you hover over a link to a card that doesn't exist, the mouseover "image" loads from an error page, but since it uses a centered text box, it has the undesirable side effect that all the text fields on the existing page also become centered.

Uh - I get no mouseover on that link at all. Which I think is the intention.

Ok; after logging in, I see the issue - yeah; wow, that's bad.

Bwahaha. Erm, yeah, that's broken. In a really funny way.

The centering change also appears to change the color of non-link text on the page from #333 to #666.

fixed, more or less

What about making errors redirect to an "Error Card" . Or at least make the error message card shaped?

Thing is, the error page doesn't know it's inside a card popup. It's the same 404 page you get if you go to any non-existent page.

I mean, yes, I could invest a bunch more time making it a bit nicer. But if I was investing a bunch of development time into Multiverse there are bugs or features I'd rather be working on, and I think you guys would prefer that too :)

Oh yay, you fixed it! I never noticed it till SM pointed it out, but it was really disconcerting :)

And yeah, I agree, ideally something more sensible would happen here (just no pop-up? smaller version of error page?) but since it almost never comes up, it's probably not high priority.

Bah. Its almost like you want to spend time with your family etc rather than slave away on bug fixing and features :P
