What there’s a darker version of the forum? The time stamp shows up fine now, but if they background changes color on me….. :shrug:
No confusing me! Actually… I can’t tell you not too…. it’s just too easy….. 🙄
January 17, 2009 at 4:24 am #748713For me, the main background is black, posts show up in grey boxes. The Title of the thread and your forum names are gold/yellow type. And your actual post is white text. Since the time next to your name is grey text, it blends in with the post colour. Does that make sense??
January 17, 2009 at 4:43 am #748714I’m going to look around on the net a bit tomorrow to see if I can find an answer there, just in case Snap doesn’t get back to us (I’m sure he wants a break, and these are just minor things that won’t affect the running of the forum). It might have to do with default browser settings.
January 17, 2009 at 7:31 am #748715Thank you, Snap!
January 17, 2009 at 2:28 pm #748716Thanks Snap Hope you are getting some well deserved rest

It says “It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.” and just won’t post. Kind of annoying if I have to remove my images in order to update the post!
Are the (old) images larger than 1024 x 768 pixels? (It looks like it to me) That is the new strict in-line image restriction. If they are, just re-size them or make them into links. Really, anything you put to a forum format shouldn’t be that big anyhow! If it’s a huge photo, just link it. Much easier for people to choose to load it or not.

My art: featherdust.comJanuary 17, 2009 at 8:03 pm #748719They’re 800X I have no idea. I resized them to be 800 specifically for this forum, because that was the rule I understood at the time. *mutter* I guess I”ll just go turn them into links.

Well the old rule was just that- a written suggestion/rule. Other than if I saw something that was OMG TOO BIG and physically removing it myself manually, they stayed. The new forum is smart and actually looks at the image sizes and prevents posts with oversize images in them from being made.

January 20, 2009 at 2:56 am #748726AnonymousThe gent who is in charge of designing the template has been informed of the quirk with the time stamp and it should be fixed soon. Not all the colors/shades/icons line up perfectly but it was a matter of get it back up and fix the cosmetics later.
SPark, can you give an example pic URL that isn’t posting for you a pic. I took a quick look at your threads but couldn’t find it. The error you got doesn’t mean the pic is oversize, it means the forum couldn’t read the actual picture detail for some reason. If it’s oversize, it will tell you in plain English.
Also, any picture that doesn’t end in a proper extension (jpg, gif, etc.) will not load. It’ s a preventative measure to stop people from posting cross-site scripting attacks into threads. Hackers can make a link look like a picture, put a JPEG header on it, then fill the body with viruses. Then your browser ends up running the code, thinking it’s a picture. So if the forum can’t figure out the size of the picture, it refuses to post it.
