Question Tweaks and things

Working on a few things today... installed a shinier version of the tag cloud in the lower left. Try giving it a whirl... no, really, drag your mouse across there and make it whirl. I think its a keeper. Now we just need to properly tag everything so its reeeeally useful.

Also cleaned out some old extensions that I had tested but couldn't get to perform the way I wanted to use them... not surprisingly, once they were gone, some other things that we had lost that I DID like, came back. So that was a win too.

The next thing on that list is a much larger project and I'll probably wait until Thursday next week to work on it to avoid causing 'down time' during the busy parts of the week. THAT is a rework of the access level structure for the site so that we can implement some blogging and 'open' fan ficcing without making fan fic authors continue to work in the forums... unless they want to.

In the meantime, I'm going to try to get the rest of the universe stuff together... the power trait descriptions for instance. And do some writing. There's a Jimmy and Tavi story in the pipeline soon (core story 1-4), so as soon as the Nagrij/Elrod novel of 1-3 is done...

really? weird, let me play with it

Well frack... it has % options for the margins/padding, but the base cloud is purely pixel settings. That f'ing sucks.


Oh for the days when you just put "Best viewed on monitors set to 800x600 resolution" and that was just peachy.

Ya, made sure the login box is responsive too. Trying to make sure everything works 100% for mobile as well as desktop. With any luck, I'll be able to recode the tag cloud to work with responsive settings. Since it is a small module that I can probably avoid updating, I might be able to slip in some code fixes without it having long term issues. We'll see.

Ok... are you saying that the login/password bars are extending out and they look strange... or are you saying that the login/password bars are extending out BEYOND their well or the sidebar? Because the first is simply a perception issue and you'll get used to it. The second is an actual problem that I need to fix.

And what browser / screen resolution are you on where you are seeing this?

Think I got it.

I'm really not clear on what you're saying is happening here and why it causes you problems. If you are referring to your own avatar, it should make sense that you don't see that if you aren't logged in... right? As to time/date...where are you seeing these things at all? Do you mean on the category list of stories - unvisited vs visited links? That would be purely a factor of your tablet's history, not something that the site controls.

If you have too small a display, the sidebars no longer render on the sides. They move completely such that you get the top menu and search, then all the left sidebar content vertically above the center section, and then below the center section, you get the right sidebar, then the footer. At that point, most of the ads will either be square blocks that take up about 1/3 of your device screen or they will be a small banner ad running the full width of your screen.

*nods* thanks for clarifying
