Re: Miscellaneous

They have not been added to the text editor bar yet. We'd like to have nice accompanying graphics to suit the bar, and that takes time. The tags still work though!

Coolyo.
Is the "click on the spoiler leads to the home page" ipad glitch only, do you know?

Not sure!

OK this site is still logging me out if I am not posting on a regular basis, as in I am reading stuff go to click on next and I have to log back in. I have cleared the cookies but is there anything else I need to do?

 

[Onis O'Leia]

Did you mark the box that says "keep me logged in"?

 

[Avendaella Tikvah]

Where is this little gem?

 

[Erin al'Denael]

Just log in using the top bar (upper right) and you'll see a little check box for it. Pretty sure it's with the other login too, just can't confirm right now!

 

[Onis O'Leia]

Ah, it says "Remember me". It's right below the boxes where you type in your name and password. Mark that box, then log in.

 

[Avendaella Tikvah]

Oh...:facepalm

Can we shorten the 30 second post limit?

it's getting real annoying.

 

[Erin al'Denael]

This is a message board, not a chat program. Is waiting a few seconds really that much of a problem?

Re: Miscellaneous

Same here, I thought it was a mobile issue but apparently it's just with iPad? I use Safari on my Mac (desktop) and have no similar problem.
..

Me three. The address bar flashes a tarvalon.net/# link and off to the front page I go. Hitting back does not open a spoiler. Does anyone know if this is a Safari/ipad feature, or is there a workaround beyond waiting for a chance to use another computer?

 

[Erin al'Denael]

The spoiler code is a bit of a hack. It's probably something inherent in how it works in one setup (from a standard PC) and how iPad/other mobile devices manipulate data. I'll look into finding an alternate spoiler code, but as it is a hack -- finding one that is 100% compatible with absolutely everything is probably going to take time.

Also, for this to work at all your device needs to be able to run JavaScript. Check and make sure that it is working and/or up-to-date.

tricked you

 

[Azi al'Thone]

Ew, I get why the spoiler tag is barfing all over mobile devices. The way it works is just... awkward. This has been noted.

 

[Alaria Celentari]

I don't have Java on either my iPad or laptop, although the spoiler tag is now working on my laptop :scratch, so maybe java re-activated ?

 

[Azi al'Thone]

Java is different from Javascript (completely different, in fact). Javascript is run by your browser. Glad to hear it's working now though :P

 

[Natalya Laragan]

I don't know if you did anything, Azi, but my problem remains unchanged. Oh well, better not read spoilers then...

 

[Azi al'Thone]

No I just looked at how it was working. Unfortunately this seems like it could only be solved by getting a new spoiler tag, and I don't have an iPad to test it with or I would. You could try downloading another browser (if they exist for iOS)

 

[Natalya Laragan]

Ok. There's Opera mini, but it's generally crappy otherwise, but I guess I could try it for the spoilers, if I really need to see them.

 

[Azi al'Thone]

Okay, peeps with spoiler tag problems, I just wrote up a new spoiler tag for us that should be better compatible with all browsers. Can you give it a shot? Thanks!
