DuffMan 266 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 How can I change my avatar? Everyone will notice who I am unless I change it. IPB has merged avatars and photos for some reason. It's the first option here: http://www.igta5.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=usercp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Post-traumatic amnesia 499 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 Thank you, but I already used that option. I hoped "Photo" meant avatar, but it's not. All I achieved was setting a profile photo, the avatar is still Donald. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psy 350 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 I coded a mod to override the default forum settings. I'll look into it tonight to make it show the photo if it exists, then the facebook photo, then twitter, then if none of them exist, show the default silhouette. There. Done. Ok, so this is how the avatars work now (because of my mod) 1. If you've uploaded a "photo" to your profile, this will show. 2. If there's no photo uploaded manually, but you've linked your Facebook account, your facebook photo will be used. 3. If you haven't done 1 or 2, but you've linked your Twitter account, your twitter photo will be used. 4. If you haven't done any of the above, your photo is the basic silhouette. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Post-traumatic amnesia 499 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 @Psy: You rule. XD @Duff: I didn't think about that right away. But I didn't need to clear the cache, the browser eventually decided to check for image changes... Is it possible to get an alternative to the rich text editor? I've found that button in the upper left corner that turns it off, but it also disables all the formatting tools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Post-traumatic amnesia 499 Report post Posted August 26, 2011 My avatar is supposed to be rectangular (90 x 45 pixels). It is displayed as 90 x 90 pixels. I understand the need to scale down images, but in this case it is scaled up. I don't like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted August 26, 2011 So make a 90x90 one with the bottom half white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Post-traumatic amnesia 499 Report post Posted August 26, 2011 So make a 90x90 one with the bottom half white. I did that. The avatar was not stretched any more, but as profile picture it got stretched. It looked like I could not get it right at both places (avatar and profile pic). Then I removed my profile customization (background color). It had the unexpected effect that the stretched profile picture was displayed correctly! I attempted to set a custom background color again to verify that it was not something random. New background color set OK, but when I went to my profile page the new color did not show. I had to set a background color several times before it would show on my profile page. When the new customization finally showed up on my page, the profile picture still was displayed correctly. I think this proves that the forum have some glitches. Is it possible to get an alternative to the rich text editor? I've found that button in the upper left corner that turns it off, but it also disables all the formatting tools. Quoted just so it's not forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Marney1 Report post Posted September 5, 2011 Is it possible to make it so that when on the home page and you click on the forums link it doesn't open a new window/tab? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 When Psy changes it back. Or click the forum link in one of the news posts. One of the reasons why I always put it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psy 350 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 It opens in a new window/tab because I want people to remain on the website homepage as well as having access to the forums. There's no way to have it not open in a new tab though as far as I know. Is it really a big problem having to close a tab? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psy 350 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 I might make a plugin for the site that lets you lot navigate by drooling on the keyboard. That way you won't need to do anything differently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Post-traumatic amnesia 499 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) I might make a plugin for the site that lets you lot navigate by drooling on the keyboard. That way you won't need to do anything differently That's a brilliant idea. I hope your mistress can help you. Learn to control + W Ctrl + W? What's that gonna d.......... Grrr.... Okay, new key command learned. But it's actually two clicks and still a heckofalot of work. --------------- ----------------- Serious note...... I like the navigation bar at the top and the bottom of most pages, but maybe the font could be made easier to see? I know it is there, still I many times do not find it. I think the font size is equivalent to size 8 in Word, and it's gray. Size 10 would probably be fine, or make it bold and black.

How do I make a one-word link? I click the link button, copy the URL and I do not get to type a description for the link.

I looked at the 'special BBCode' menu but nothing there seem to highlight anything. I miss the old fashioned BB code system! *pulls hair* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
