Title: Site modifications.
Post by: smokester on December 02, 2009, 05:43:06 AM
I have started this thread so I can inform you all of any modifications that I add to the site (new bbc tags etc).  But I must point out that some things may only work in the DiasDesign default theme as some just won't work in the core theme and I have to get round to adding them to the Speedlight theme (whoever the single person is that is using that theme?).

Today I have installed an image resizer that will make images display at a maximum of width 740px (no max for height) and open in a new window to be viewed at full size.  This should get us around the sideways scrollbar issue that some have been experiencing, and sorry to anyone using 800x600 as the design may still break for you.

You don't have to to do anything to make this work other than using the [img]*[/img] tags as usual. Here's an example:

I like this. :) Makes things tidier and it's less work for us who tried to re-size the pics beforehand. I also like that ball Steve Carrell has. I used to have one. Now it's broken and I haven't seen it again.  ::) ;D

I agree. Thank you for adding it.

Rules are back in the Nav bar.  Now there are even more places for us to ignore them.

That latter part was a joke.

Since WikiSpaces have withdrawn their free page option we are including a child board with the data from the forum games.  This is really of no interest to anyone so could you check it in your ignore boards option in your profile so updates won't show up in the recent posts sections:

If you have any problems doing this, then mention it here and I'll do it manually for you.

"Fora".

I was starting to think that will go unnoticed this time. Nope...

"Fora".

"Noun

forum (plural forums or fora)

    A place for discussion.
    A gathering for the purpose of discussion.
    A form of discussion involving a panel of presenters and often participation by members of the audience.
    (Internet) An Internet message board where users can post messages regarding one or more topics of discussion.

        Trish was an admin member on three forums, and had no trouble at all when it came to moderating them.

    (in a Roman town) a square or marketplace used for public business and commerce."

Dictionaries are just full of populist nonsense.

Which is probably why Trish had so much trouble.

There's lots of good cheap rum here.  I'll raise a glass to you this evening, as I know you like to visit these parts for holidays and were most likely unable to come this year.

I just got one in my peripheral as I was reading a post and it gave me a start, as I thought it was a bug crawling down my screen, lol.

I ran out of Bounty and Spiced Bounty as of Monday this week. Now I know that pandemics are possible, next year I'll bring home double of everything.

Hey, at least there's some movement in your living space.

As a point of interest, I think there is a little delay with posts updating with the animations active.

Hah, I was just in the wallpaper thread yesterday, and back in 2015, you said that we should have some sort of Christmas theme.

I hate muzak, but the typing chimes are magical. I love it.

I had a few days off due to suppliers delays (and an arm injury) so I thought I'd do something cheery.

I'm doubly happy that you like it.

What he said.

Plus, I have discovered that you can play the ornaments like bells and actually pick out Christmas carols on them like some kind of online glockenspiel.   Totally fun.

I didn't realize it made sounds as you typed (I don't usually have the sound on when accessing the fora) and realized accidentally when hitting one of the number row keys so quickly picked out Jingle Bells...

[p[p[you7 279 290
[p[p[you7 279 209790=w

ew= w=0 =09

[p[p[you7 279 290
[p[p[you7 279 209790=w

That's about as much as I've gotten. The bells don't seem to be "exactly" in the same key and I feel the notes played by the "0" (zero, also the forward slash) is a little off. I also don't know the lower lead in notes for the "ew= w=0 =09" interlude so those are omitted.

dweez, you win.  I, like an idiot, was dragging the cursor over the ornaments across the top, and playing them like piano keys.  The keyboard strokes are so much more effective.
