I remember Massimo saying a little while ago that someone had suggest modifying the alert flash (response.flash) display a while back—before bootstrap was used in web2py—and that it wasn't well received by the community.
Now with bootstrap I recommend we add in stackoverflow style alerts. {{if response.flash:}}<header> <div class="alert alert-block fade in"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button> <p>{{=response.flash}}</p> </div> </header> {{pass}} Thoughts? --
