Technical questions about the site

[Iwritecode]

Edge is good for downloading other browsers. That's about it.

[Brian861]

I've been using Chrome now for well over a year for everything and love it.

Funny, since yesterday the page is displayed in the terrible orange skin, is the button to change the color theme now somewhere else ?

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

the terrible orange skin

How dare you!

[Randall Flagg]

The button to opt for the other color scheme is at the bottom left of the screen.

Yes, there it was before, now it is no longer there for me ???

[Randall Flagg]

It should be available now.

the terrible orange skin

How dare you!

Agreed! Shame on you, Frank

[Randall Flagg]

The color is not orange.
It's a very mild butternut color. Some consider it the color of nacho cheese.

It's a very mild butternut color.

Very easy on the eye.

Real orange is actually my favorite color,
this color of old spray/fake cheese always gives me a headache after a few minutes when I have to use it.

The eye of the tiger.

Can someone please tell me how to resize a picture (eg : half) in BBcode?

I thought I found something, but doesnt work.
At least, if it's in this thread it would be easier to find out. And I could bookmark it for next times

[herbertwest]

Is there a way to change the subforums of Calvin Towers?

What I mean by that, is that I use the grey theme, and I can NEVER see if there is a new message or not in the calvin towers. Because of the thumbnails. They are not explicit and I can't see if there is any new posts, any thing I may be able to add any input

[Randall Flagg]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but here are 2 screenshots that illustrate how to tell if there are new posts in CC and the subforums:

I explained this in a collection thread. I'll explain here too. You can PM me for more help if you need it.

There is a "RESIZE" code. It reduces each dimension of the original picture by a percentage. If you wanted to reduce the dimension by 50% you would use this code without the spaces.
[ resize="50"][ img]Image URL here[ /IMG][ /RESIZE]

Spoiler:

Here is a sample. The first image is full size. The second is 75%. The third 50%. The forth 25%.

You can use any percentage you like.






The site automatically reduced the original picture and the 75% picture. That is why the ratio to the others doesn't appear to be correct.

[herbertwest]

Ok thanks !
My mistake was to put the resize IN the img. As as a separate element placed before !

Tried it and it worked, thanks. I will try to remember it but having it in this thread will help finding it back too

Oh, ok. I didnt realise the "blue" difference. Which, IMO, is quite subtle.
But also, once you click on a catalog subforum, it's difficult to notice posts that has messages because they are then organised alphabetically.
Once in a subforum, is there a way to organise it by last messages / post time?

[Randall Flagg]

There is a way to sort the posts. For example, once in Calvins Corner, scroll down to near the bottom of the page to the Thread Display Options box.
Under Show threads from the...

Click Last

Click descending order


Click the brown Show Threads button

Strictly speaking, this issue is not a TDT problem, but a problem I'm having that relates to TDT, but perhaps someone here might know what is going on.

I used to access this site on a Dell laptop (Windows) with Google Chrome; when I did so, every time I went to the site, it logged me in automatically (as I want). I then changed laptops to a MacBook (MacOS Big Sur) and now access the site through Safari, and every time I go to TDT, I must log in again. Another odd thing: I can be logged in and moving around the regular site (threads, posts etc.), but if I click "gallery," I get the log in page again and must log in again.

Some info:
- I always check the "remember me" box below my credentials (this appears to make no difference)
- my MacBook remembers the password and enters it for me, but only once I've confirmed that I want it to and used my fingerprint to enable it (this doesn't save me any steps; it just saves me the trouble of remembering my password)

I've poked around in Safari's safety and privacy settings and it appears I've given TDT all permissions I can think of, so I'm not sure if this is just the way it is and change isn't possible, or if I'm missing something (which seems more likely).

I'm not interested in going back to Chrome, FYI.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I can report a similar story. It used to auto log me in every time as well. This stopped happening a few months back (not sure exactly when). I'm also on a Mac, (not updated to Big Sur yet though) and was using Chrome. I haven't gotten to the bottom of why it stopped working either.
