    I’ll take a look!

    in reply to: Styles #1008

    Fixed the dropdown list πŸ™‚

    Any other abnormalities?

    in reply to: The Thread That Broods #1007

    Sounds good! I have a few different varieties of bromeliads, including a pineapple. Don’t know what they are, just know I like them and they’re incredibly easy to care for here. Just stick ’em in the ground and don’t touch them again πŸ˜›

    Gorgeous! πŸ™‚

    I’ve considered online dating but have always been apprehensive about them. Once the weather improves, that should help me get to areas where I can be around people with similar interests, which may help. Still working on my transportation issues. We do have a decent bus system but, due to the route structure, it takes at least an hour ride to get anywhere in the city and multiple transfers. Sometimes, I can get to where I want to go faster by walking. I’ve done that before!

    Like the old newspaper personals? Those were always a joy to read. Some people got really creative with them and those in particular really brightened my day πŸ™‚

    It’s lovely! Now that I’m getting the hang of it, I’m going to look at getting the base stations situated in more permanent homes. Got another surge protector on order to help with that. Think I’m all set on surge protectors now but I’ll know after I get everything mounted πŸ™‚

    Lots of cool software for VR, too. I found a kayaking simulator with a free paddle mode that is on the wishlist for the future. Really like using it for simulation type stuff. Haven’t tried it out with Minecraft yet but I’ll get there! Will probably get Minecraft installed one day, just haven’t gotten there yet πŸ˜›

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #1006

    Ah, okay. There’s now an Enhanced Edition for both it and 2!

    Will keep an eye on it!

    It really does look like a blast! And very flexible. I’m sure there’s a Battleship game somewhere for it, we just need to look πŸ˜›

    Used to use them on XP! One of the first ones I used was the one for Alt-Tab previews but I also used a couple of the others. They were quite nice! πŸ™‚

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #1005

    So it looks like a permissions issue where you can view your own but not other members’. Considering we’re in the same group, we should be able to see it. :/

    If I do it in CSS, it won’t be broken in an update. At least, it’ll be minor breakage. πŸ™‚

    One thing we can do is take a backup right before we make the attempt to delete the empty forum in case something breaks

    Looks like they’re tweaking some of the permissions levels in 12.0 slated for October. Maybe that will fix some of our issues? And cause us to likely retheme some stuff πŸ˜›

    in reply to: Pokemon #1004

    Usually, you need to go to a special event to get Mew so this is wonderful news!

    There were some musings about combining the locations into a single game and things about what I’d like to see in a future system but probably nothing all that important. πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #997

    Ah, okay. Thanks! That helps! Wish they had included some of that information more prominently in the film but it probably would have been a bit of a distraction πŸ™‚

    Yep, kind of surprised they didn’t do something like that. As it was, it was kind of odd to have a strip club in the middle of nowhere like that. Fun film but a lot of loose ends! πŸ˜›

    Yep, their films always have a great blend of music! πŸ™‚

    Which version of Piranha? There have been two remakes! Personally, I’m a fan of the original. It’s so campy that you can smell the marshmallows! Was a blast of a film!

    Britain has some of the best crime shows. Over here, they’re mostly CSI or Law & Order-esque shows. Always like a good old fashioned mystery like they do in the Commonwealth πŸ™‚

    May start watching it this weekend. Kind of in the mood now πŸ™‚

    And it’s still available! Been on the list for several years but hadn’t gotten to it! I’m planning to start from the beginning and go from there. Tons of episodes available so it should keep me busy for a while πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Random #996

    Power Girl’s solo series is starting up soon! Will get the first few issues but the special was a blast so I’m definitely looking forward to her solo πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #995

    Ugh! Microsoft removed the option to move the taskbar in W11. πŸ™

    I always like to have it at the top of the screen to help me focus on things. Fortunately, I can still set it to hidden

    And PowerToys has some pretty useful tools!

    in reply to: Pokemon #993

    Mewtwo arrives in two weeks! On top of that, they’re giving away Mew with the code GETY0URMEW. πŸ™‚

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #992

    Cool! Will see what I can find that’s available for free use!

    No idea, really. The description:

    Customize your community with fully editable profile fields that allow your users to describe themselves.

    Kind of implies that it’s user side but Edit only lets you change the name. I’m not seeing anything in the admin area either. Will dig through the documentation!

    The group activity shows up on my profile but not yours, which is weird. It could be related to the aforementioned issue. Or it may have something to do with only being allowed to view your own activity and not that of other members. Does it show up on your profile for you?

    Without editing the layout files, limited repositioning can be done with the float properties. Resizing is easy. What did you have in mind?

    On Laurie Stearn said

    Fair enough, thanks for looking into it. It doesn’t sound right at all, so hoping this enquiry can be answered before we move on. πŸ™‚

    Sounds good. Hopefully we get a response soon! πŸ™‚

    in reply to: The Thread That Broods #990

    Cripes! We just got done being hot!

    Fortunately, all my plants are low maintenance so I only need to manually water them once or twice a year during the really dry spells

    What kind are you raising right now? I’m personally fond of bromeliads.

    We just had a ton of rain roll in, which really cooled things down. Which is good as my air handler is flooding again. It’s done this for years and nothing I do seems to clear out the lines. I had a guy blow on it one time and you could hear the pop as whatever was clogging it shifted. I’ve got a crew coming out to fix it in two weeks as I don’t want to pay extra for same day service. I’ll call again if the mopping and bailing gets too annoying πŸ˜›

    On a personal level, I’ve been rather moody the last several days so I haven’t felt like working as much as I would like (better than before though as this go around I’m still getting stuff done!). It’s mostly loneliness as I still haven’t found a good way to meet people but a little bit of aimlessness mixed in as well.

    Fortunately, the warm weather will start to subside until next year in another week or so so that should help some

    So I’ve grabbed the VR headset and been visiting the world. Tokyo was fun and Rome was amazing. Tabletop Simulator is compatible, too, so that could be fun if I find people to play with. πŸ™‚

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #986

    The weird thing is that the empty forums links to the reassigned one for some reason or another. Not sure what’s going on there.

    in reply to: Random #984

    Yep. Got two SSDs: one has Windows and the other is *nix. I like to keep the two systems separate as Windows Update sometimes likes to do weird things. Learned that the hard way about twelve years ago πŸ˜›

    Might be worth a try at some point. It’s designed as sort of an HTPC software package but for games instead of for general use. πŸ™‚

    My mom found an old camera in the river a few days ago and, miraculously, the SD card was still completely working!

    in reply to: Styles #983

    What they did was override the appearance property and added their own arrow. I’ll try to fix it up as best I can πŸ™‚

    Yep! Used to use RSS all the time back when I kept up with fifty or so sites. It was a big help!

    Still working on fixing the sizing stuff for group forums. Took a look today and nothing stands out as to why it’s being cut off on the mobile view. Will just need to keep looking and doing some trial and error.

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #981

    Thanks!

    The android is a randomized default from Gravatar that is used unless you upload one. What about using WALL-E as the group avatar? I like WALL-E πŸ™‚

    Probably okay to get rid of it. In the initial setup, it didn’t let me select an already existing forum for the group, just a new one or none at all. Rather weird limitation

    I do want to play around with nested forums and see if the permissions trickle down. If so, that’ll help tremendously with organizing things

    And the breadcrumbs don’t show up in the group forum. We may be able to fix that at some point πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Styles #976

    Yeah, that’s supposedly the dropdown arrow but I can’t seem to get it to show up properly. They did some customization of it but it doesn’t seem to want to be modified. I’ll keep poking at it, though. Maybe I can get it to stop throwing a temper tantrum πŸ™‚

    It can be helpful for those that use feed readers but I can easily remove it with display: none if you’d like

    Yeah, I think it’s related to the style pack’s method of making bbPress compatible with the theme combined with the server’s page loading speed. Didn’t matter with the hack we used as that directly edited the templates but the extra processing makes it more apparent

    I cleaned up much of the user facing styles today. Let me know if anything’s out of whack! Probably should have done it while on the *nix machine to get in the habit. I’ll check on mobile later. Due to how the width had been set before, it would chop many elements instead of being resized

    Once everything is squared away, I’ll see about putting the CSS through the ringer

    Will get the admin stuff as we note it as we go forward πŸ™‚

    Edit:

    The width needs some more tweaking. Still breaks the mobile view πŸ™

    in reply to: Random #973

    A lot of open source games definitely run better on *nix due to better driver documentation and ease of use of the APIs. But, yeah, we need much more support!

    Several years ago, there was a major push to port games to *nix but that practice most stopped after just a few years. Probably from higher development costs for a small audience

    Will rebooting shorten the lifespans? I have the operating systems installed on two physical drives. Granted, I’m not overly familiar with these things. Hard drives make sense as they’re mechanical but SSDs I definitely don’t understand. As near as I can tell, the technology is simply magic. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” as the old saying goes.

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #972

    Yeah, they use different IDs and classes for them instead of keeping the same ones to make them consistent. Really not sure why they went with the duplication but I’ll see if I can fix things up πŸ™‚

    Which setting did you tick to make this a group forum? I didn’t see it myself

    Oh, right now it’s just general set up as private forums by default are visible to all members but not guests, requiring an ACL of sorts to control visibility

    in reply to: Styles #960

    Been trying to update some other BuddyPress styles and it’s going similar as before. Does the Activity section on the profile look a bit different at all? The way they’re dynamically applying the styles makes it very hard for me to properly edit with my limited CSS knowledge. With more experience, I’m sure it’d be a breeze!
