Lol, it took me forever to grasp it due to being self taught. The only reason it was hard, though, was I was trying to do full webpages in just tables. lol.

@Celaira

i'm actually semi self taught, too. i'm homeschooled by my mum, but because she doesn't really get all the techy stuff she often leaves me to it with the book when it comes to computer science. and wow, that sounds interesting, lmao.

@BrokenPromise

I think you meant to say "unironically the best font."

@Meta

As soon as we get the ability to flag posts, I'm going to flag this one for flame baiting.

On a more serious note, where are we with that? Only 2 of the 5 mods aren't hidden, and Rilla doesn't really like to do stuff outside the arena section. I feel kind of bad pinging N&B exclusively with my problems.

@BrokenPromise

It's not baiting since I genuinely enjoy Comic Sans. I once downloaded an extension that turned every font into CS.

[BrokenPromise]

I was not being serious, @Meta. Hence why my followup was "on a more serious note." But that sounds like an amusing extension, even if I personally hate reading comic sans.

[ArenaSnow]

I'd prefer a system where one could toggle between the two editor types.

[Meta]

@BrokenPromise

I recognize that. I just wanted to legitimately give CS a shoutout.

[Publius]

Interestingly, my post has eight tags. I'm not really sure why, just thought I'd mention it here.

[Mahz]

@Publius I bumped up the max tag count once I introduced more tags. Tag clutter just isn't a priority, yet.

[Publius]

@Mahz Cool, just wasn't sure why it was happening.

[Lady Absinthia]

Don't know why, but the forum is loading fine on my laptop, but accessing on my phone or kindle is lagging horribly and plagued with time outs. O.o (All on the same wifi and all loading other sites perfectly.)

[Mahz]

@Lady Amalthea Really? Nothing seems out of ordinary with the server or database metrics.

There were some weird output in the logs, but not anything conclusive.

I rebooted just in case.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Mahz Thank you! Whatever the issue was seems to have been fixed, having no issues now across the various devices. ^^

[Dion]

It is clearly flawed, as Elder Futhark is missing.

@Ellri

seconded, i need all my other rune alphabets too because currently using unicode for it is less than desirable.

@Mahz instead of having color pickers, why not do it where you can do it like in photoshop (idk what that's called) where you can drag the slider around a bit more dynamically than having all these set colors. like this;



ps: Vollkorn font that you linked is really really nice. Please add that if you can.

@Odin

I'm not sure I see an issue with the current color options. They are discreet to the point where I can easily click the one I want instead of typing in hex codes, and if I wish to have a more personalized touch, the hex code option always exists. If we put a full color slider, it would limit the former use of the current option.

[Dion]

@JBRam2002 ... but with this one you'd be able to click it too.. it's still discreet and easily clickable, unless you're saying that it's larger, in which case yeah. The color slider is essentially just the hex code function in a more user friendly setting. You're literally generating hex codes by dragging the cursor around.

@JBRam2002

it's literally the exact same as on the html colour codes website, just that you don't have to open a new tab and sift through walls of text to get to it.

[Vashonn]

I'd love the color slider idea, so long as we had some capability to save preset colors onto it that we could access with a press of a button. I think thats what @JBRam2002 meant, since at the moment we have set colors more easily accessable to us, instead of having to drag around the whole palette in order to find the exact color we had had before.

Maybe that's not what was meant. Oh well, I tried =P

[Dion]

@Vashonn Not sure that's possible but if it is that'd be pretty fucking great, yeah.

Otherwise, allowing us to set custom saved color instead of these (admittedly really ugly) colors would also be a good middle ground.

[The Elvenqueen]

Hey Mahz...I'm having a bit of a problem in that every time I try to login on my computer it tells me my password is an "invalid creds (4)" and forces me to reset my password to the exact same password I had before? ^^;

I know I'm not typing it wrong, and I don't have this problem logging in from my phone so I'm not sure what's going on here and a bit confused? O_O

[Dion]

@The Elvenqueen happened to me after I changed my name (but never occurred after that). Did you change your name (I don't remember if your old name was TheElvenqueen or not)?
