James Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 [font=Verdana][size=2]I'd like to ask everyone to use this thread to post any problems they're having with OB7. This way, we can answer your queries and make fixes as soon as possible. Thank you. ^_^[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 [size=1]This is kind of both a question and a problem that I am having so here it goes... well the first thing is, is there a spot where you can make permanent changes to your font, font size, color etc.. and the problem I am having is, when I go into my OB sig, I tried making my old sig back as close as possible, but then, whenever I hit "Save Changes" the page loads again but nothing happens. What should I do.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should I do.[/size][/quote][color=#30415d]I think I might be able to answer your questions. First off, we were not able to impliment the feature that allows you to have a permanent color and font and such. From what I understand, it's very complicated coding, but as you can see in the announcement, we have a fantastic middle ground -- the WYSIWYG editor. This is a similar program to something like MS Word, where you can highlight and change your text at the click of a button. Onto the next question, this could be because the character limits are currently set at 150. This is considerably less than the old signatures, so it makes sense if yours doesn't fit. In the coming days, the number will raise to 500, and you'll be able to fit more stuff, but perhaps not quite as much as you had in your old signature.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 [B][size=1]Thanks Syk. And you are right about the 150 characters thing. I just didnt realize the message at the top of the screen. So thanks again Syk!!![/B][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure that you check your image is below the maximum file size, which is 270400 bites.. not kb's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cloricus Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Try saving to JPEG or PNG for size reasons; noting that IE6 (in all it's crapness) doesn't support transparent PNG files. (You end up with a grey like you will see in my avatar when you use IE.) Also several people have come to me and I have had the problem that when you update your sig you go to where you have recently posted and it just isn't there. Simple fix is just to edit the post and look under your text for a tick box with the text "enable signature" (or like that?) then tick it and save. Done and your on your way. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 [font=tahoma][color=sienna]Maybe I'm not using it correctly, but sometimes when I edit a post in which I use WYSIWYG, a large amount of spaces apear in someplace on the post. It's probably my fault, but I was just curious...[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 In my sig, when I use the list tag, it puts a dot in front of my image (on the lower left), you can see it below. I tested out the center tags and no tags at all and the dot goes away so i know it's the list tag which is creating this. Perhaps you can help me get rid of this or tell me what it is... thanks.

Semjaza Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 [quote name='Sara][size=1]Isn't...isn't that what the list tag is [i]supposed[/i'] to do?[/size][/quote] Yeah. That's the whole point lol. The list tag creates either an alphabetized list, a numbered list or a bulleted list. The dot is called a bullet and would be infont of each item in the list. So if you want to get rid of that, get rid of the list heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 it was never there in V6 though... I thought the list tag was there to indent to create a list.... kinda like blockquote does in HTML... I'm really picky about this for some reason... I don't want the image clase to the sides but I don't want it all the way in the middle either, and it creates the desired amount of space inbetween the top and bottom of the picture from the other lines.... I want it right where it is... where it has been... without that dot that was never there before. Unless theres a code in VB that can essentially put spaces in like does in HTML.

Guest cloricus Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 TN why not get the admin to add a line in a custom css document for you that is just - li { list-style-type: none; } or even .nodot { list-style-type: none; } So you can just add {list=nodot} (for the second case with some linking in the vb code) and either of those would fix your problem and should be, not to sure how good the vb3 code is, easy for James to do and could be applied to all members. ( { replaces [ ) Just a side note in preview I have been playing around with {list} and {list=} and judging by what you can do with them if you knew the key word I would take a guess that there is already a no dot option floating around. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cloricus Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 [quote name='jblessing]Just use the vbCode tag [ indent '] next time, instead of list.[/quote]Justin maybe a sticky in pc/mac -> tech forum with all the tags and a brief explanation of what they do; if you want give me the list and I'll write the explanations as I wouldn't mind seeing what sort of things you can do since there is no HTML on most of the boards.

Katana Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Whenever I log in to the OtakuBoards, I have the box that says "Remember Me?" checked so that I don't have to log in every time. However, I don't think it's working. Whenever I go here, either after coming on to the internet or after coming on from another website, I have to log in. Is there someting I'm missing...?

Solo Tremaine Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 [COLOR=#503F86]Upon seeing James' latest announcement, I thought I'd try and add an event of my own to the nifty OB Calendar. But whenever I try to I'm sent to a page that tells me I'm not authorised to do so, or that my account lacks that certain privilege. Is my computer acting up, or is it something only an Admin can modify?[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
