Site Updates

@X3M do you mean you can't post only the link to a YouTube video? If you go into "Source" mode you can have it only include the link and not embed the video.

@Adriano I've edited your signature using that same approach of creating it with "Source" mode on. That lets you edit the HTML directly.

@athanasios the Carbon theme is now available. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

[Adriano]

It seems to me, I can not use italic and bold text now.

Added.

I found, that it does not work under old Win XP. And it works under Linux.

Please add a black theme without the animation/transparency.  For us on low end hardware it is frying our CPU.

I've also noticed that the animated theme seems to put unduly strain on the CPU, with the fan starting to work faster and a lot louder.

[X3M]

What is this "source mode" ?

And if it is the source of the problem, I simply need to toggle.

But where?

Signing in threw me off.

I always signed in using my username. Now it asks for email. I eventually figured out the email I used.

[Gobalopper]

I've found how to remove the animation on the Animate theme as well as how to make the avatars square again.

@X3M the source button is in the top left of the post creation box, right beside the "B" (bold) button.

@Andrew part of it was for security because people won't know your email but they would know your display name so they can't try to brute force your password as easily.

[athanasios]

Thanks! Now my CPU won't fry.

new layout looks great, good job

[X3M]

Seems edit is locked after a while, for a post.

 

Ok, the top options that I have for my posts are:

Bold, Italic, Underline, Link, Quote, Code, Emoticon, Insert/Remove Bulleted List, Insert/Remove Numbered List, Align Left, Center, Align Right, Strikethrough, Superscript, Subscript, Text Color, Font Size

And down menu offers:

Drag files here to attach, Notify me of replies, Insert other media, Submit Reply

 

I have searched in Link, Code and Insert other media.

The source button that you have mentioned, how is it called?

[Gobalopper]

Oh, I found the problem, I can see it because I'm the admin user but I guess regular users can't.

I did find this quote on the IPS website:

Quote

Embeds. We recently changed YouTube embeds so they immediately embed. Most seem to prefer this behavior, but some don't. We are going to do something similar to Facebook in that when you paste, it will immediately embed, but provide you with the option of removing the embed and reverting to a simple link -- much like pasting formatted text. 

So it looks like it will let you post straight up links in an upcoming release.

In the meantime I suppose you could create a text link instead.

[X3M]

I knew that there was something going on. I'll await the upcoming release then.

sometimes i get blank page   but  no  functionality  diminishing effect,  loads smooth  and fast  but letters are too big is it possible to  zoom out  a little?

[X3M]

Hold the Ctrl key and roll your mouse wheel.

[Gobalopper]

Or hold down the Ctrl key and press the minus key.

[THE AQIB]

Cannot login from Facebook anymore...

[Gruntlord6]

Doesn't look like links from the D2K+ news are going to D2K+

[Gobalopper]

Have there been any new posts since the upgrade? Or is it only the old posts that broke?

[Adriano]

I often sign out, when I come to new page.

And I cannot (even signed in) download files from Spacing Guild mod and Fremen Warriors mod.

Look at "Fremen Warriors" first, if this is possible. I would like to download this mod.

[Gobalopper]

Something seems to be wrong with attachments uploaded as part of a post, I'll see if I can figure it out. The files are still on the server but must not be linked properly.

I've also uploaded a patch so let me know if anyone sees anything wrong.

[MrFlibble]

Is there a way to switch off the WYSIWYG text editor and get back to the plain BBCode mode? I'm on the Carbon theme.

[Gruntlord6]

I also noticed there is no space between a users location and the word location for example: "LocationRussia"

Old posts, I just did one now and we can see if it does it there.

Edit: doesn't work on new ones either

Hey, 

I tried to login and the new system doesn't recognize my email address and I don't see an option to login with my user ID like I used too. So I created this temporary account to ask what's up. 

[Gruntlord6]

I've had a few people email me as they are not able to login to the forum with their username. It seems they don't remember the registration email and this effectively locks them out of the forum accounts.

Let the purge continue, only the pure may enter.
