Jerome, never one to rest on his laurels!!! Awesome, dude!!!

Ha. I like it but it seems to have messed up some of the font. It is gone again for me anyway.

Is there something, on the website, that automatically resize some pictures?
Because those I posted in this thread
>>> http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?6425-Bookcases&p=913293&viewfull=1#post913293
are bigger than those I saw, at real size, on my computer. Also, sometimes some pictures are turned and I dont understand why/how

The server that stores the picture stores it at its original size and aspect. The website that links to the picture will ofter resize the picture or turn it for display in a browser. If the original wasn't actually resized or turned (just presented that way by the browser) then copying that picture will result in a different size or aspect than expected (that of the original).

You would have to download the image to your computer or to an image website to manipulate the picture, and then upload or link to it in order to control the process.

*************

ps. This site will also reduce an overlarge image file.

[herbertwest]

Thanks Brian for the reply.
I do host those pictures on my own webserver.
I did first resize pictures before publishing it and one was on the side. I then resized it (something like 80%, same ratio) and then it was on the right side. TO be honnest, it's still not clear to me as for when it is turned and when it is not turned.
And after resizing them, they are shown larger and higher than they actually are.

Also : why the fuck is the forum in an ugly pink theme? Where do I change that??

[mkb.redux]

Yeah, this Easter pink really messes with your eyes.

What causes it to post someone's text in a vertical line when they are quoted? Its doesn't happen in all the quotes but having to scroll all rhe wat down on one of those posts is a pain in the butt. Especially when you are on a phone.

I'll need a bit more info.
Only on a phone?
If on a computer a screen shot would help.

[Iwritecode]

I would guess it happens when you have numerous posts (within other posts) quoted in a single post on a small screen. There's only so much space.

Each year about this time I change the light bulb atop the tower that keep planes from hitting it whether the old bulb has burned out or not. This ensures
a fresh bulb atop the tower at all times. This year, after I climbed out and unscrewed the old bulb, the alarm rang on my watch alerting me that it was lunch time. I HAD to climb back down and have lunch...union rules you know. So with a 25 minute climb back down, then an hour for lunch then a 30 minute climb back up...2 minutes to replace the bulb; the tower was dark for nearly two hours.

We regret any inconvenience or mid air collisions this may have caused.

[Girlystevedave]

Not that I'm pointing fingers, FERNANDO, but the person above you game thread is locked. If it doesn't get fixed soon, I'll be forced to spend my work days doing actual work. Gross. :cyclops:

How many posts before I lose the Gunslinger Apprentice label? Just wondering, it isn't important, I'm just bored with it. If I'm close, perhaps I'll spend some more time in the New Member thread welcoming folks than I do. Perhaps I'll spend some more time there if I'm NOT close.

I think only gold members can choose their own Bill. (And I'm sure that will provoke another discussion :evil:)

Does the site look weird for anyone else today? All the text (posts/usernames/sigs/etc) is centered instead of aligning to the left. :orely:

Edit: It's only doing it when I'm viewing on the VB4 default style.

How do I use the iTrader? No matter which option I choose from the dropdown it only shows me 14 people; how do you search everyone? I expected to see the list just like on Private Messages where it gives you hits after a few letters. I only just wanted to leave a seller some good feedback.

It's a bit quirky. Find the seller and look for a recent post. Once at their post, click on the Feedback score underneath their member name, avatar. The at the right side of screen id the leave feedback option.
Or....
use the search field to find the member, then click on the feedback score and follow the previous instructions.

If you look at the information in the left panel of every post there is a "Feedback Score:" with a number. If you click the number it takes you to that person's iTrader page. The panel on the top right will say "Submit Feedback For George at C-Springs (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/itrader_feedback.php?u=9719)" or whatever user you click on. You can then submit your report.

Occasionally, when I go to Calvin's Corner, some of the symbols of the sub-forums are green, although no new information has been posted. Also, when new information is posted, the symbol can be either green or red. Is this a glitch in the system or in Firefox?

Those are the wiki sections that are being overhauled. The wiki wants to notify people of every change, no matter how minor.

Just curious, there are lots of posts that have pictures that I cant see. It seems mostly from a few members. Also, I think the issue only occurs when using my work computer (regardless of working locally, or vpn'd from home). All I see is a large white space, no frame or anything indicating that there is a broken link or anthing that indicates that something is missing.

An example would be post 10026 in the "Stephen King Collecting Questions" in Calvins Corner. This seems to be very common with posts from Needfulthings.

I'm guessing it is some kind of firewall issue, but what is unique about his posts that is different then most others?

[jhanic]

It could also be your browser. Do you use the same browser at work as at home? I've had similar problems with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox.

Bruce (Needfulthings) uses Imageshack to host his pictures. It would be interesting to see if the other members images that you cannot see are also hosted on imageshack.
It's likely that your corporate network is blocking access to Imageshacks servers (and potentially other similar image hosting sites)

As an aside, all images in the Catalog have been moved and are now hosted on the site itself, so you should have no problems seeing those.

[Br!an]

He is using imageshack. Here's the link to the photo in 10026. http://imageshack.com/a/img673/8767/3e70Z1.jpg

If it's a firewall blocking imageshack then you shouldn't be able to follow the link either.

If you can see it then it's probably network settings, browser settings or a plug-in.

I also use Firefox and have no problem seeing the images.

I have similar issues here and on other message boards. I'm sure it's my company's network blocking them. When I try with my phone, I can see the images just fine.

Thanks Br!an and Stroppygoblin. It is indeed because it is from imageshack. I got a nasty "Access Denied" warning when I clicked on your link.

Has anyone noticed the "Donate to keep the site Ad-Free" banner and acted? I believe I am already "in" for a monthly contribution of $10, but I signed up for another $10 per month just to be sure!!! Please show your support for the site as much as you responsibly and financially are able to, folks!!!

We all enjoy this site as a community with all that it offers socially, as an information source, and a way to conduct member to member transactions ofr our beloved books & memorabilia. If we all kick in what we can, $3,000 is a mere drop in the bucket and a small price to pay for this wonderful venue!!!

I put in a one-time donation. I tried the monthly donation last year and kept having problems. I'll also donate more regularly.

ditto, I also had issues with repeat donations so have done a 1 time.

[Randall Flagg]

One time donations are the best.

If you love the site and come here often, then think of 25 cents a day. That's $91.25 for one year. For some that may be too steep. 10 cents a day is only $36.50.
If the site isn't worth a dime a day to keep ad free, then feel free to not donate.

I'm not sure if my previous recurring donation had issues or not. I didn't bother to check, but I'm cool with a monthly $10 donation and to be sure I also scheduled a one time check of $25 to go out to, El Jefe. I thoroughly enjoy this site and all it offers. Fortunately, I can afford to show my appreciation in this fashion. I'm in no way suggesting that others match my contributions, but if everyone kicks in what they can afford, $3,000 should be easy to achieve. He's not asking for much as highlighted in the above post, IMHO Especially when we stand to gain so much, am I right?

When you click the box you are requesting a cookie that will allow the site to recognize you next time without a log in.

Your browser has to be set to allow the cookie. Your other security software must also allow cookies.

You can either figure out what's blocking the cookie and allow it or you can whitelist the site.

Yes!! Well worth it!! Are you saying that you are charge a fee per donation?

BUT!!

Last time I was ready to make several small donations in an attempt to reach $150.00 but the donation button disappeared.

Gerome Jerome, I am a metal head and you have to make it easy for me. I have times when I can offer nothing and times when I can offer more. As an example; I can offer nothing until the 10th of November.

Then I can steal wool from the sheep I...know.

Question: How do I take out an automatically added link in my signature? When I copied back my info (after my costume change) my signature shows up with a link to some random website and if you hover over it, says it's automatically added. See ASOS below.

It says what I want it to say but ASOS has an added link (by Viglink) that takes you out to a sponsored website. Not sure how this is happening. I only want it to say ASoS with no link to that wacky site!

I already tried retyping it into my profile and it still has that link.

I think I have seen it do the same thing when I type eBay. I think something is looking for words associated with websites and changing them into links.

It says what I want it to say but ASOS has an added link (by Viglink) that takes you out to a sponsored website. Not sure how this is happening. I only want it to say ASoS with no link to that wacky site!

I already tried retyping it into my profile and it still has that link.

Navigate to Settings, My Profile. Scroll down and there a a selection for "Show inserted links:" and Allow Inserted links in my Text: Change both to No and it will not happen. It is the system trying to think it is smart and show what it thinks you are typing about.

Getting database error page when clicking on Unread Posts/What's New links and when trying to search.

I am working on it. Very quirky. I've tried several other words for searches and there is no problem, but "revisited" sure is.

The word "revisited" is a syntax error with Vbulletin.
Strange. If anyone has an idea, let me know.

Why doesn't the insert video button work to embed videos? When I paste a Youtube url into it, it comes out like this:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QIShmtBdto

The correct way is apparently like this:

[video=youtube;2QIShmtBdto]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QIShmtBdto[ / video]

[Br!an]

YouTube URLs default to their secure server. This site can't handle that protocol.

In order to make the link work on this site you have to delete the "s" from https:// > http://

So https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QIShmtBdto becomes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QIShmtBdto

I struggle a bit with the SEARCH module.
Let's say for instance that I search, via the Advanced module

search types : posts
keyword : CARRIE
user : jhanic
> Search now.

It brings me to the result page. Here I can see the threads that are related, but how do i access to the exact posts in the thread?

I guess that I could do a search via google :
site:http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/ jhanic carrie
and look at the cache version of the page, but I shouldnt have to.

Did I miss an option or something? I am sure that in the past I was able to see the posts and not the thread, but I cant find it anymore

[Bev Vincent]

At the top of each Forum page there's a Search Thread option, immediately above the first post:

Thread Tools | Search Thread | Rate This Thread | Display

[Br!an]

Did I miss an option or something? I am sure that in the past I was able to see the posts and not the thread, but I cant find it anymore

I think something did change.

Click the tab at the top of the frame that says "Search Single Content Type". Scroll down to the bottom of the frame you will find "Show Results as" Select "Posts" instead of "Threads". It will return individual posts now. Now click the "Go" button next to Save Search Preferences. Now when you use the Search Single Content Type search it will default to Posts.

This doesn't change the way that the regular search or multiple content search functions work.

We haven't been able to solve the daily outage that occurs from ~23:55 -00:05 GMT (6:55 PM EST-7:05 PM EST). Still trying to fix it.

Which "skin" forum view are you using?
Look at bottom left of screen to see drop down box of choices.

[jsmcmullen92]

Viewing on Explorer 8 on work computer....

Well there is your first problem :)
I'll bring up my emulator and see if I see what you are seeing. I have a feeling it is an IE 8 issue since it cannot render HTML 5.

EDIT:
Just tested it out and seems to be a bug through IE 8 and 9. I do not have an emulator for 10 but everything was fine on IE 11 and up. As for changing the skin, in IE8 I get an error that it cannot locate the library and the list does nothing. In IE 9 I get the same error but if I change it still updates. Went to Default skin everything looks normal. Possible workaround is to use Chrome or Mozilla Firefox if possible. If you can't I really hope you like reading everything centered lol.

Second EDIT:
TO make everything appear normal go to Settings > then General Settings on the left side. Scroll down to Miscellaneous options and change the forum skin there to vB4 Default and then click save. Looks like IE8 needs to be told to save it to the cache and reloaded for the skins to take effect.

[Iwritecode]

I agree with ditching IE if at all possible.

What are they set to? Instantly or daily? And I think for them to send you must be inactive on the site. I have found that while I'm surfing the site I don't get them bit when all my tabs are closed I do. Maybe make sure all your tabs are closed and subscriptions set to instantly.

This has happened to me off an on for quite some time. I'll all of a sudden stop getting the e-mails and then a few weeks later they start back up again. I see no rhyme nor reason for it and it's not from me changing any settings on my end. I don't sweat it b/c/ I just log in and pull up all my subscribed threads and everything is up to date there. So the subscriptions don't turn off. Just the notifications. Until they turn themselves back on.

I've been having to log in each time I visit the site even when I'm checking remember me. I've not had this happen before... would this be on my end or something with the site?

Mine always says that I am not logged in when I hit the home page. Usually I have to go to www.thedarktower.org (it will not be logged in) then when I click forum I will magically be logged in. If I go straight to forum then I will not be logged in until I click a different link. it's weird but works for me, been this way since I joined in 2014

That's how it works for me too. I've just learned to live with it.

Same with me... If I'm on my Mac, I log right in. But if I'm using Internet Explorer, I sign in, and then have to click on Calvin's Corner before it recognizes me. Not really a big deal.

My asumption was always that the front page was just and welcome landing page that was considered public therefore it didn't require a Auth request. Once you hit the forum you are looking at things that can require login so it checks for an active session or a remember me checkbox set true.

These are just guesses since I've been working through authentication requests all morning at work.

Hmmm, well now it's working so I'm not sure what changed. I have a Mac and use Safari.

Can someone please open up the Christine discussion thread? I can't post in there. :)

http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?3131-Christine-Let-s-Discuss!-*SPOILERS*

Edit: I'm a bit confused. The thread is showing up under Constant Reader Awards section instead of Cara Laughs. ??

[St. Troy]

Just wondering, do those threads on TDT that end up locked typically end up locked because of disuse? Another forum I've frequented used to lock threads basically just when things got ugly; it used to be great fun to check out the "locked threads" section (they had a section devoted to locked threads). Even if a thread was titled something like "toast - pros and cons," if it was in the locked threads area, it made for great reading.

[Girlystevedave]

You know, I've rarely seen things get "ugly" around here. (That's not to say it's never happened though :lol: ) I think some threads end up "locked" because they've just not been posted in for a very long time. I think.

The threads in the 2009 Constant Reader Award are closed as the contest ended 7 years ago.

[Girlystevedave]

No, I get that. :lol:

I got thrown off because the shortcut to book discussion on Christine (as listed in Cara Laughs) links me to the Constant Reader Awards thread. I guess there isn't a thread for Christine, unlike the other books. I'll create one after I finish the book cause I'm dying to discuss it. :)

Things get ugly ALL the time, DAMN IT!!! Who do you think you are?.... old hag! http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae214/denny111/smile%20flip_1.gif

Somehow some random threads from Cara Laughs ended up the the 2009 CRA forum. I've moved them back.

Oh, cool! I thought maybe the thread just didn't exist except for a discussion in the CRA. Thanks for fixing it, Pablo!

No problem. All those threads linked in the official discussion list stickied in Cara Laughs should work.
