Related, we are getting close to dipping below 65% of logs/members, and at least a few of those logs haven't been updated in weeks.

cough, Hanley, cough

Some of us are following super-sekret, proprietary programs of awesomeness...

This may not be the place, but I’m having the hardest time trying to set my avatar. Any sites to use to change the picture sizing?

I just resize in MS paint
90X90 pixels
Then "browse" and you can add right from your PC.

If you're on a pc that is.

I used an app called “Image Size” (creative!!!) on the iPhone. It does ok.

I used advanced options on google image search to download something pre-made.

Also, I prefer 64x64 to the max allowed size of 90x90.

I tried 60x60 and the file size is still too large...

You can also upload and resize using Imgur. That's where all my posted pics live.

Also, forum hack (that's probably stupid and I'm the only one thinking it's cool, and in fact there's probably a smoother way to achieve the same result):

If you're like me and bookmark your log, but hate having to click to the last page, you can edit the bookmarked url to always take you to the last page.

Code: Select all

xxx/viewtopic.php?f=yy&t=zzz&start=50000

where only the start=50000 is important. the f and t parameters are to determine the subforum and the thread, the start parameter determines the post in the thread. Setting the value of the start parameter to a ridiculously high value seems to trigger phpbb to show the last page.

(I copied this from somewhere else)

You can use MS Paint to resize the pixel dimensions if that's all you have, but to get it under 8KB this works:

I just right clicked the little "Jump to first unread post" icon and copied the link, and then pasted that into the bookmark. Also in the event that several people post on your log and it turns over to a new page, it will take you to the first unread post instead of directly to the last page (which could result in missing something).

For some reason I have trouble logging in using safari, but not chrome. What would be causing this?

[Wilhelm]

A dark grey theme would be nice.

I don't know how to do that myself, and i recognize it's far down, if not completely off the bottom of any admin to do list.
But it would still be nice. : )

I have no idea. I use Safari on my phone and laptop, and I haven't had any issues.
