Banner is fixed…somewhat. Can’t adjust the width because they didn’t use an img element. They used a bit of a hack: they used an empty paragraph and set its background so it contains no content, meaning I can only set its width to numerical values instead of scaling with the content. At some point, we’ll probably want to collect the gripes and send them to the individual developers 😛

Begin edit:

I suppose I could remove the fallback background color. May mess with images that use transparency, though. Didn’t think of that earlier

End edit

What would the Emporia and Bazaar pages contain?

Sorry about the banner. Curse my attention span! Getting better at managing it, though.

It looks fine on mobile so it’s probably set to stretched in the properties. I’ll see if I can find the right override for it.

Can fix the navigation bar, certainly. What order do you want things in?

One more thing to add to the wishlist (really need to start working on that soon!) is a theme switcher user-side to let folks choose their theme. Would be nice for those who prefer a light versus dark theme, for example. I prefer dark color schemes myself but not everyone does so it’d be nice to give them the option. Granted, it’d mean we’d need to do our CSS a different way but we can worry about it when we get there.

Can those be used in Windows without an additional interpreter? That was the nice thing about VB script: it could be used right out of the box.

Yeah, sad about the forums. Reminds me of GHF, to be honest: folks just drifted away over time.

Ugh!

Yeah, hate it when things like that happen. Very annoying!

Was reminded of pandoc the other day. Very useful little program for converting file types. So you could easily turn a Markdown file into a nicely printable PDF or even a PDF into an editable .doc. I used it to convert API documentation into a PDF so that I could print it out and stick it in a notebook for ease of browsing 🙂

Thanks to the llamas, everything should be back to normal. Please give a holler if anything else is out of whack, save for the ongoing theme work. Well, you could holler about that but it is ongoing so it’s a good way to get a sore throat. Also, you may want to holler if you find yourself suddenly without a parachute while falling over the Pacific Ocean. Probably a good idea.

These are the new selectors I had to add:

:root :where(body)
:root :where(a:where(:not(.wp-element-button)))
:root :where(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6)
.has-contrast-2-color
.wp-elements-fb1dc8a358d6c5ee50b4614eb09d35bb a:where(:not(.wp-element-button))

Site should be readable now. Let me know if I missed anything.

It’s weird that they changed everything to use functions instead of directly selecting the classes and elements. Not sure what the rationale was behind that.

Edit:

The last two are unrelated to the issue. The contrast one was set by a variable so I backed it out but we’ll want to tinker with it at some point as it affects how search results show up (need to get back to the search stuff, sorry).
The last item was marked as ! important for whatever reason so I wasn’t able to override it. I’ll take another look at it later. I also need to find it again. I didn’t make a note of which page it was on when I was trawling through things.

Also, I still need to fix all of the sizing in group forums. Tweaking the width didn’t fix the truncation issue in post forms 🙁

Major updates are supposed to have manual approval, if I remember correctly, while minor patches (third decimal) are supposed to be automatic but I’m not sure

Didn’t do anything myself since I updated the styles in the style pack. Unless the server was hacked

Do we have a backup from before the changes? If so, we’ll want to manually copy the last few posts on the site and look at restoring

Though, the file changes are a bit disconcerting. To email!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Looks like something may have barfed. 🙁

If it was twenty-feet, it’d be a moon-ful of lasagna! 😀

The ad does read as though they may be having issues getting the licensing agreement worked out, which is interesting. They don’t usually advertise products like that unless they know the paperwork is all figured out.

Cool! Never played Doom myself. Though, I did used to play a lot of Quake and Unreal Tournament at LAN parties. That was a lot of fun. Really miss yelling across the room at the guy when I got shot. 😛 See what we lose by going remote only!

Been reading John Scalzi’s books and they’re a lot of fun. Essentially, they’re science fiction with a humorous twist and a lot of pop culture references. The Collapsing Empire, for instance, had a starship that was named “Our Princess is in another Castle” for example. He also has a book that satirizes the redshirts from Star Trek. Got that one on the waiting list!

Don’t see a tool in the control panel. Would definitely be nice to have one for cases like this. May be possible via SQL commands but I haven’t the foggiest idea of how to go about that

[Spastic Hamburger]

Never noticed it before. Perhaps it’s related to screen size?

Need a bit of a break but I’ll get back to plucking away in a couple of days. 🙂

Semi-fixed. I unset the max-width value but the width still needs syncing up, it looks like. Actually, do you like the new width here better or the width in the regular area?

[Spastic Hamburger]

Gorky Park is a classic! Still haven’t read the book, though. 🙁 I really need to change that

Watched High Spirits again yesterday and it’s always a lot fun. Really don’t understand the 31% RT rating. It’s a good romp with a lot of actors just entering their careers with a few well-known names.

[Spastic Hamburger]

Rather large update this morning. May fix a few things and may even break a few things!

That would require a lot of lasagna to maintain 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

That is nice!

My dad uses colorful, spotted toadstools for his incense. He usually picks them up at the art festivals so I may try looking there when we get one 🙂

Yeah, it’s really quite cool to see things as he intended them to look. I do remember that some of the descriptions were kind of vague. 🙂 I wonder if there are illustrations of Mordor in there? Always had an issue visualizing that locale in particular!

I try to! Lately, though, I’ve been having to focus on the studies that are of particular interest since it takes me so long to read an entire issue and I’m already months behind 😛

I’ve developed bad erosion around the driveway so I’m looking at putting in some ground cover to shore things up. Something from this list is probably the way to go. In particular, Mimosa strigillosa looks like a good option. 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

What was the issue with the overlap? Never noticed it

Yep, looks good 🙂

I do plan on adding a border to the sidebar to make the colors bleed less. I also found out that CSS added variables since I learned the language back in 2010 (I never kept up with updates 😛 ) so that’s something to consider when I refactor the styles. For readability, I’m leaning towards related items all being in an individual section instead of grouping things by style property like I’ve been doing so far. By using variables, it should give us the best of both worlds but I need to look to see if there are any drawbacks to that approach

[Spastic Hamburger]

Any luck with calling them? It could very well be a hardware issue

[Spastic Hamburger]

I bring you snowmen! 😀

[Spastic Hamburger]

And let’s not forget table guy!
