The bigger the number is, the more West, Up, or South you are. Smaller (or more negative) numbers are more East, Down or North.
0, 0, 0 is the center of the zone.

2. Not allowing ~'s in URLs is killing me. I can't upload an avatar or signature because of that. Trying to upload a signature picture directly seems to do nothing at all. No error, no picture.

As all your other questions were answered, I'll just answer this one. It's VERY simple and something that I've been doing ever since the old boards. After I'm done typing out my response, I ALWAYS always always right click the field, choose Select All from the menu, then right click again and choose Copy.
That way if the forum "eats" my post because of a timeout, all I have to do is open the reply box again, right click, hit Paste and BAM! Instant repost! I've done this for YEARS on these forums, and I recommend that everyone else does the same, as it only take a few seconds and a couple mouse clicks. Never lose a post again!
However, I did find Lazarus for Firefox which keeps a history of what you type in forms. You can set it to age out what it saves. But I've used it already several times to restore a lengthy composition in the editor that was lost to a timeout in posting it. -

You're a step above the FireFoxers, because you don't attempt to make everyone use your brower.
Next time you use Google Earth and discover that Chrome is your new default browser, don't say you haven't been warned. -
Quote:1. We had a General forum?Originally Posted by UnicyclePeon
All,
I have 2 questions about the new forums.
(1) First, did the General and Archetype forums get merged? I found the Archetype Forum, but now it is called "Archetypes & Powers General Discussion". However, I can't find the old General General forum, whatever it was called. The one that used to be linked by:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=616
Where has it moved, or did they merge?
(2) Second, whats up with the Dev Digest? Is there not a new one currently? It really cuts down on the ability to track tidbits the devs release. I see the Developers Corner forum, and I think I see what is the old dev digest (both european and north american) but they seem to be filled (on my browser) with a bunch of raw html codes on the page, and they are alphebetical by Dev, not sorted by date. I use Firefox, as I always have.
So, what's the deal on the Dev Digest these days?
Thanks,
Lewis
2. Digests are being worked in. In the meanwhile, here is a workaround. -
Time to switch to Firefox. It's a better browser. All the cool nerds use it.

Quote:Did you know a significant number of people, when confronted with a fire in their home or workplace, move *toward* the fire.Originally Posted by _Blu_
Huh, well at least I know what's causing it now
Hopefully it's being fixed.
Btw, wouldn't the people summoning the Vet Rikti Monkey crash as well? Seems pretty dumb of people to grief it if thats the case, lol.
The technical term for them is "smoke inhalation corpses."
So, if I say in broadcast, "Whoa, spawning my Rikti Pet just crashed me and everyone around me," what do you think someone with a Rikti Pet is going to upon hearing that claim?
"Really?!" <spawn...> CRASH. -
I'm on Firefox and I have the forum almost completely reskinned (no gradients, selectable colors), bigger jump-to-first-unread icon, larger font, and all images and colored font turned off just for signatures.
See my sig for the add-on for reskinning and Sharrow's GreaseMonkey script for stripping down the sigs. -

In Social Groups, folks with avatars have nothing shown. That's no problem with me. But folks without avatars have a giant question mark--and when I updated to the hero style, the question mark is actually bigger and extends over the edge of any posts making them fairly hard to read. Is there any way to disable that question mark in the style?

You can buy a Debit/Gift Card that acts like a Credit Card for online purchase to buy the online GvE edition.

Quote:I already reported this thread to the Mods... simply to move it to Guides. I was waiting to see how long that would take if they even thought it was worth the bother. They might be swamped themselves right now.Originally Posted by Flame_Blade
And move it to the guides! The reason for this, that it is very very close to being a guide for the forum actually and technically it has nothing to do with "game-related discussions"
Great post PK
Tip: Clicking the triangle with the exclamation point under the user's avatar will report a post... and you can add a comment on why you're reporting it. -
Quote:You shoulda told me my FF was out of date and to update it, which I did, and now it's working perfectly without having to reinstall GM.Originally Posted by Sharrow
Okay Zombie, try reinstalling it.
Should work with older versions of Firefox now, and as an added bonus, Safari (with GreaseKit, tested) and probably Opera (untested) too.
Thanks, again! -

This post is pure win.
If you can get the signatures to align to the bottom of the table frame, I'll be 100% happy. -
Vanden, this style sheet is as close as I can come to what you want. Hope it helps.

Quote:To make the thread list color green, change this...Originally Posted by Vanden
This is great, but can you make it so that hyperlinks are also Bold, and topics lists are also colored green?
EDIT: Oh, and the star pictures that indicate new posts, how can I get them to point to other images?
/* Change font and color for title and date on thread lists */
#threadslist .alt1 *, #threadslist .alt2 *, #threadslist .alt2 {
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif !important;
color: #ffffff !important;
}
to this...
/* Change font and color for title and date on thread lists */
#threadslist .alt1 *, #threadslist .alt2 *, #threadslist .alt2 {
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif !important;
color: #95e65b !important;
}
To make unvisited links bold, change this....
/* Change link colors */
a:link, body_alink {
color: #95e65b !important;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited, body_avisited {
color: #c1ffe6 !important;
text-decoration: underline;
}
to this....
/* Change link colors */
a:link, body_alink {
color: #95e65b !important;
font: 12pt Verdana bold !important;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited, body_avisited {
color: #c1ffe6 !important;
text-decoration: underline;
}
To change the big star image, put in the script below, but, if want to do that to shrink the height of the rows, it won't work. The height is hard coded into a java script I think. But here's how to do it:
/* Big Star image */
img[src*="styles/CoH/statusicon/forum_new.png"] {
width: 0;
height: 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(http://boards.cityofvillains.com/images/icons/icon1.gif) !important;
padding: 20px 20px 0 0 !important;
}
Substitute the second gif with anything you like. -
Hey, Sharrow!
I've been using your descriptive title script ever since you posted it, and it still works great with the new forums.
However, I can't get this new script to work. Greasemonkey is enabled. I see the script in the GM panel. I see the script that's installed and it looks good.
I tried disabling Stylish, in case it interfered, and still can't get the script to work. (I restarted Firefox, too.)
Any troubleshooting ideas? -
Quote:Excellent, more styles and choices are better.Originally Posted by Devian
Hey there, been using Stylish for awhile, and I just updated my own stylesheet on userstyle.org last night as well. Please take a look and let me know what you think of it! The same style sheet is compatible with both the Hero and Villain skins.
Edit: Link in sig!
Also, feel free to upload all custom style sheets to userstyle.org! One-click installs for Stylish is pretty awesome =D
Yours has the advantage of using the default colors, but without the gradients. Mine gives folks back their classic colors (heroside) or paints a new villain canvas. -

Is there a way to decrease the font a user's name is shown in?
If so, would you be so kind as to post the code so I can copy/paste it into the skin?

Quote:You added the extra script somewhere wrong.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
D'oh, yes, I am! I shrunk the boards down a bit to get closer to the appearance of the old ones. I stuck the script you supplied in, and it moved the icons. They are still big and annoying, but at least things are legible now. I wish I understood how this was working. In any case, I also have the error messages I keep seeing:
But no worries, I created a new script for you which deletes the question mark gif and reduces the front from 11 to 10. Click here. Use that script to completely replace the old script, or delete the old and use the new. -

Anyway, thanks to Aggelakis' switching of the First Unread graphic, it was easy to create a script to make that question mark graphic disappear completely. Just drop the following into your Stylish script..
/* Changes the "No Avatar Question Mark" graphic to none, leaving space underneath for the user's link */
img[src*="styles/CoH/misc/unknown.gif"] {
width: 0;
height: 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: none !important;
padding: 80px 100px 0 0 !important;

Yes, they are working on the Mod/Dev digests, in the meantime, click here for a temporary workaround.
After choosing your skin in the bottom left drop down menu, click the link in my sig for further skinning options if you don't like the default set up here.
All links to previous posts and thread from the old forums are broken, probably permanently. Links to posts and threads use the post/thread number, and the new forums have renumbered all the old posts/threads.
With the Guide to Guides, the author and thread topic has (mostly) been saved in the name of the link making searching for it tenable. I'll be looking to re-do the GtG, but, that'll take a week or two. -

Quote:So, were you able to cut and paste anyway, and did it finally work for you?Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
Got some weird error messages that I was not allowed to cut and paste when I setup the hero style. I'll keep an eye on things. This is really great, thank you, Zombie.
