I'll keep track of these, so I don't forget! 1) Want a subdomain-esque thing for peeps to visit? https://Socoder.net/YourUserName eg Jayenkai! Redirects to your Blog page, where I've also added your 15 latest Showcases, too. 1.b) Want a nice URL for a Workshop entry? https://Socoder.net/Workshop/Name of Workshop Entry eg TileSlam Not much use for that one, but this new ability will be added to other things in due time, so look forward to other additions.. 2) Added "Pages" onto blogs, so you can see older entries! 3) Background stuff to make everything run (hopefully!) a little swifter. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Nice, thanks Jay... Now I'll have to think about something to write about -=-=- ''It works, but I'm not sure why it works...'' |

Frontpage tweaked to make the Pick of the Week's higher up. I shrank the 7 item news down to just 2 (since there's never any news!) and added a More News link for people who inexplicably want to read old news! There's now a Preview button. Nearly works, but is slightly dodgy with the [[code]] BBCode! Typical! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Well it's nice to come back off holiday and see a couple of positive changes for a change  Last year I went back to work and my office had been reorganised  I've kind of missed the preview option at times so a big thank you from me

Quick search added. Uses the Google Search API. Nothing fancy, just a quick search, hence it's name. I'll get round to doing a proper search sometime. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Is the [Code] issue going to be sorted in the Preview? I only ask because I was trying to do some ASCII art for the "Block Breaker Block Collisions" thread but it didn't work so I made an image. Then Teasy did it and I remembered your comment here... If I know that it will work, despite what the preview shows then I'll happily go ahead in future but it's a bit off putting when a preview fails. Or maybe add "[Code] boxes will not show correctly until posted" after the Preview link? Just a couple of thoughts

That a good idea, actually. I might cheat and do it that way  I'd actually forgotten that the bug existed, so I might have a play around with it tonight.. See if I can get it sorted/cheat my way to ignoring it. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Actually, for me, at the moment, the Preview thingy does work a bit, or at least good enough to see what it'll kinda look like. ( Although I use UED for ASCII art )But sometimes you have to click the Preview button twice in succession to make everything show up. It does put those extra <br> tags in code boxes, and an extra line between each line (like the <br> tag), but just imagine these are not there.. I can imagine the code for this 'bug' in the Preview feature, so fixing this will probably not be *that* hard.

Code/Preview Bug (hopefully) resolved. Also, I found this nice Image Resizer on a forum, today, so figured it'd be nice here. Had to do a bit of tweaking to get it working right, but I got there in the end. Slight drawback, when you shrink the image afterwards, it doesn't rescale the tables in all browsers, (Firefox!?) so things look a bit untidy afterwards.. Still, it's not the worst thing in the world, and it saves having to keep right clicking all the images! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

For me when this page loads. The book is drawn unscaled, it then takes some time for it to shrink. I'm using firefox here.

You could just use some max-width CSS tags to start with perhaps, which might solve mike's problem. I have to cook dinner now. Fun.

Or you can add some Javascript. When the user clicks the full-view link, you store the width of the table: When the image is shrinked again you do this: |

 For me when this page loads. The book is drawn unscaled, it then takes some time for it to shrink. I'm using firefox here. I think that's how it works: Opens it full size then scales it down. The delay may just be the time taken to finish loading the whole page? I can confirm that it works 100% in Opera and 90% in Firefox. That is to say, it loads full size then scales nicely but, as you say, after expanding and contracting the table stays oversized. And yes, the preview now works  Thanks Jay! -=-=- Come rain or shine... |

[code ] Test [/code] This won't work. [code ] Preview [/code] --- Try to preview the above (without the spaces, duh). It doesn't look quite right. I'm a real pain in the ass, ain't I?

Interesting variation. Preview:  Post:  I actually prefer it in the preview manner! At least the contents of the boxes is right though. -=-=- Come rain or shine... |

I think I'll just dump a huge "Preview don't work very goodly" notice on, and have done with it!

That's odd, Forklift_Fred. It doesn't look that way on my computer. On my computer only the 'Test' will show up; no code boxes or anything else.

Perfect! Inconsistency! The W3C thrives on it Browser? Mine's FireFox. May be a caches CSS thing... I am starting to guess now though! -=-=- Come rain or shine... |

I found the problem; it comes when you click preview multiple times. I'm also using Firefox, but that doesn't matter since it's an issue with the script.
