Wild Love 22-06-2017 01:21 AM

Did you maybe change more than you were supposed to because now a lot of the black text on the board has been switched to white? XD (The text in posts in here is also white now.)

Louis de Pointe du Lac 22-06-2017 01:38 AM

The Nargles are getting in and making a mess. Give us a bit to straighten it out.

I'm just going to pull the scheme back for a bit while we chase them away.

Louis de Pointe du Lac 22-06-2017 01:43 AM

Okay, Amy worked a bunch of magic. How does that look now?

Wild Love 22-06-2017 01:45 AM

My eyes thank you! That looks great. :)

Natalie Scatorccio 04-07-2017 07:29 AM

What is the time frame for a username change? Three months? Curious for later down the road :)

Louis de Pointe du Lac 04-07-2017 07:50 AM

We've got it in the rules and also the contributor package lists, so double check if you're ever in doubt!

For the record, it's 3 months for members and 1 month for contributors. XD

Natalie Scatorccio 04-07-2017 07:59 AM

Remember how in school they tell you to read the entire question? Same goes for reading the entire post, oops. Thanks for clarification though!

Red Shoes 04-07-2017 08:39 AM

Just to update this, depending on your contributor amount it is actually unlimited.

Natalie Scatorccio 04-07-2017 08:48 AM

While on the topic, can I be Gorgeous Nightmare please?

Static & Contraband 08-07-2017 02:55 PM

When I log in, I seem to be getting redirected to an admin log in page or something instead of the main forum. I was wondering if this can be rectified? :)

godlight 08-07-2017 03:14 PM

Is that index2?

Static & Contraband 08-07-2017 03:19 PM

Yes! Sorry, I forgot to copy the link XD

godlight 08-07-2017 03:25 PM

Hmm, okay. We're out at the moment but I'll get Vicky to look at it when we get home. I'm not sure what it could be.

Eta: if you have a screencap of the page could you send it to the Lady Penelope account?

Red Shoes 08-07-2017 03:35 PM

If it's index2 it's supposed to go there :) it's the front page

Red Shoes 08-07-2017 03:36 PM

Okay I looked at your screenshot. I'll fix it when I'm home :)

Static & Contraband 08-07-2017 03:37 PM

No problem, I've done that :) If it helps, it also happens on my phone and I think its redirected me to that page ever since I joined but I never thought to address it because it's not a massive issue.

Red Shoes 09-07-2017 10:32 AM

Okay I'm hoping the problem is fixed so you can see the page now. Let me know!

Static & Contraband 09-07-2017 03:11 PM

Yes!! All fixed! Thank you so much ❤

John Sheppard 22-07-2017 10:36 PM

If we want to change our username how do we do it, do we PM someone or just ask here or somewhere. Apologies if this is already stated somewhere.

godlight 22-07-2017 10:45 PM

Hi Linds, we're working on something for that so for now you can pm either me or Vicky for username change requests :)

John Sheppard 22-07-2017 10:48 PM

Okay cheers. :)

Natalie Scatorccio 24-08-2017 03:53 AM

What is the coding that you guys use on the AI lists in the games in order to get the female and male AI's side by side?

The coding I had for another board doesn't work on this one and I'm not a coding person so idk how to figure out the coding myself lol

godlight 24-08-2017 06:48 AM

Hi Heidi, it's a table. So basically:

PHP Code:

[table=xxx][tr][td=xx%]
blah
blah
blah
[/td][td=xx%]
completely
new
column[/td][/tr][/table

Just change the x's to your desired widths/fractions.

Natalie Scatorccio 24-08-2017 07:11 AM

Awesome, thank you!

Targaryen 08-09-2017 02:28 PM

Please tell me to be quiet and sit down...I was wondering if with the changes to the board taking place soon, if we can get the signatures/banners pushed to the bottom of the post box?

I understand if it's been done for a reason, just looks a little unusual to have text/images floating halfway. :)

Natalie Scatorccio 09-09-2017 09:45 AM

Probably a silly question but when the new RPG user guide says "You are allowed to upload ONE GIF per character and the other FOUR images must be stills." it just means one gif at a time? Like we can change our give images at any point as long as only one is a gif?

Red Shoes 09-09-2017 09:57 AM

Yes exactly Heidi. You can change your images as many times as you wish, but only one gif and four stills. This is simply because we are now hosting the images so it takes up more room if we use all gifs :)

Kieran we haven't missed your question, it's something we will look into.

Natalie Scatorccio 09-09-2017 09:59 AM

Thanks, just wanted to clarify! That is what happens when you read everything at almost 2 am lol

Red Shoes 09-09-2017 10:00 AM

Not a problem. Better to ask questions than be confused!

Wild Love 09-09-2017 10:03 AM

I'm sure I can get used to most of the changes, but I still really don't like when the board stretches across the entire page. I have to lean back to even be able to read what's on the screen, despite having zoomed out. Is there any way to change that?

Red Shoes 09-09-2017 10:28 AM

Sandra currently the schemes will be staying as they are. I know it's a big change and that no one likes change but honestly once you get used to it I think this scheme is much easier to read from. I'm not sure why you have to lean back to read everything, the point of the scheme is that it should fit perfectly now so you don't need to struggle with reading. It's much easier to look at the board on your phone as well. Maybe you could send us a screencap, maybe how you see the board is different to how we do?

eta: I don't know if it's useful to you Sandra but contributors also have an option to get a custom scheme made for them as well. Would certain colours and the such make it easier for you to see the schemes?

Wild Love 09-09-2017 10:30 AM

I like it on my phone, severely dislike it on my computer because I hate having to read massively wide blocks of text on the main page. But I guess I'll have to deal. At least it adjusts to the size of the window and I can choose to not go full screen. That works!

godlight 09-09-2017 10:39 AM

^ That's the beauty of these new schemes, they're all 100% adaptable to what size resolution/device you're using. We're not using fixed widths anymore and Chrissie has done a lot of work to make them user friendly for everyone.

Wild Love 09-09-2017 10:41 AM

While I'm at it, what is notes? It says I have 0 new messages and 1 new note since my last visit. Can I see notes? Is it a staff thing? I'm confused. XD

Meraviglioso 09-09-2017 10:43 AM

I was trying to upload an image for Luca in SvB, and I got this message:

How about you dont make browser full screen width? You can actually, by reducing its width, trigger the mobile layout on the laptop... I keep doing "full size > small size > full size" on the laptop when I look at the layout and do work with it :-p (certainly much simpler than always looking at the phone, then comp, then phone :-p)

Actually not at this point, no. The post layout is purely divs now and making anything properly stick to the bottom with how it's currently done is hard. It's on my list for some time in the future just cuz I'm a friggin perfectionist. But nothing that has priority. I'd prefer having it stick to the bottom as well, but there's some tricky arrangements in the coding of the current postbit to make it look like it does and work on the phone as well as on the bigger screens. Since it works (and didn't actually stick to the bottom on MS either) it's just not something I find really needs to be done right now.

If you go into the RPG tab, and manage characters you can click on your notes on the right hand side.

Sorry, Bonnie! It should be set to the right thing now. Please try again!

Notes is basically a native messaging system built for the RPG Bios. YOu could basically take over a char from another player and get their complete bunch of notes with it. Also, all RPG Managers can see the notes for their rpgs / characters, so this is to ensure someone getting to your concerns fast / faster than when sending it to a single person through PMs.

Head over to Your Biography Page and you should find the "View Notes" links there.

ETA: Mel was faster :D

That's understandable, I appreciate you and Vicky replying though, loving that the RPG hack has come to WiB and congrats on your staff promotion Chrissie. :D
