The Gaming Den

It's been like that for about 30 minutes now. Whee.

Same here. But I've got a different base font.

I was just about to ask about it myself.

I didn't really notice the difference.

Yeah

It's all gone white and snowy for the winter season.

I spent a while looking for skinning options for the board, but didn't find any

Okay, I thought I was the only one who had this problem.

Broken for me too.

Anyone know a hotfix? It hurts to have to engage my brain to separate things out when the nice colour did it before.

It's done this before. I believe it means that one of the support files from bbboy.net is failing, probably due to their poor server design.

At least we get the page at all...

PS: And everyone gets to see how awesome my photoshop powers are that my avatar always syncs with the background ^-^

Comparing the front page with a cached version, there is a whole chunk of <style>lots of code in here</style> missing.

I tried figuring out a way to make firefox re-insert it with CSS or something, but I couldn't find a 'for dummies' hint cheet on how to do it.

AHHA! this works:

My firefox userContent.css was empty. I put this into it.



I found the code for the style stuff here: http://web.archive.org/web/200706211545 ... br][br]And I just modified it to match some stuff I found about skinning gmail.


I guess when the bug has gone away, I can delete it again.

was wondering if anyone else had the problem.... the lack of blue is confusing!!

meh, I'm sure it'll get fixed... probably about the time I get used to it...

Pashaw!

Now, if you could get the "transparent" pixels to invert the background instead, that would be a display of power.

One, that would be hideous.

Two, none of the current web formats include hue-shift as a bit in the graphic.

So I can use tinted multiplicative layers in PNG24 or JPG2, but inversion is right out. It also only supports brightnesses from 0 to 1, and there are some formats that now have higher contrasts (very beautiful, mind you, and useful to creating film effects) and other effects; but none are supported at the web level. Heck, I'm probably lucky you can see a PNG at all...

I guess. Then again, some people can't figure out transparencies, or have to download a whole fvcking program off the internet to do it, so maybe I should be impressed since you may actually be above the norm.

I still think having an pixel invert the background colour would be a way cool superpower.

I plugged in that code into my userContent.css and I still see this white space every where. Which directory am I supposed to put it in?

A) C:\...\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default\chrome

B) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\chrome (the current folder
or
C) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome

I tried moving to each of these three. No change. Am I missing something?

On my firefox, I just went to

Tools->Edit My Config->Edit userContent.css

The file edited was in:

\Documents and Settings\myusername\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\randomASCII.default\chrome

Where "myusername" and "randomASCII" will vary with your system

Sorry, all windows-only. I've been procrastinating for years about trying a Linux OS

[edit] In a default install, I am told that the file may not exist, so just plug the code in question into a .txt editor, and put it there. It does seem to need restarting Firefox.

I don't know what might happen if you append the code to an existing file, I guess it would work, but if you do that, make sure you have a backup first. Good Luck!

[edit2] Re-reading your message, you appear to have done what I did with no effect sorry, short of extreme measures like uninstalling and reinstalling (bad idea?), can't think of anything to help right now. My Firefox-fu is weak.

ah well, I found three userContent-example.css, one in each of the three folders I mentioned. I followed the instructions inside, which said to save a new file without the "-emample" in the title and plug in some code. Nothing's happened.

Anyway, I'm used to the format now, though I'd still prefer the blue wash, so I'll put up with it 'till its fixed. Thanks anyway.

the white is quite nice.
now I wish this board was a more mundane color than blue, normally..

Well I'm glad you fixed it on FuckFox, but I'm using InsanityExpress so I'm still still fucked to seeing a polar bear in a snow storm background. PLEASE FIX THIS AND SOON.

I sent a nasty-gram to support services, but I guess they've knocked off for the holidays.

Game On,

It's Christmas; I have to offset my happiness quota with my bitterness quota. Right now I've exceeded my bitterness quota for the year and I'm just pissed off at everything.

I'm really sick and tired of these bastards who treat the internet like a fucking RONCO product. (Just set it and forget it MY ASS.) One of my online games was offline for a couple of weeks because the dumb asshole forgot to renew his domain name. You would think he would check on his money revenue more closely? No? When he does go back online there is not one single word about the indicent?

The same is true for servers like this. The problem in both cases (games which rely on ad revenues and pre-paid or ad revenue based forums) is that the feedback in terms of collapse of service is either delayed or non existant.

I work for Reuters. If our end of day pricing files are late by a few hours our suctomers are on customer service's asses so fast you would think we were charging them an arm and a leg for this crap data. (My job is the post man, I just deliver it. When it doesn't get delivered it's my fault, when it's crap it's the data analysts fault.)

How on earth does the CSS just break?

I'm guessing that it's served by a separate server from the one that's giving us the page and it happened to die or something.

I just noticed that one of my old other links to TGD goes to frost.bbboy.net rather than bb.bbboy.net - and my firefox-hash-up codes doesn't fix that one.

Is anyone who tried my fix using a different url than I did for the fix?

[edit] damn. optimism got the better of me, since most of the links on the frost page go to bb.bbboy, guess that can't have been it.

changed it to read:

@-moz-document domain(bbboy.net)
{
lots.of.code.here....
}

anyway, and it still doesn't seem to mess with Nifty, since I guess that it has working css to over-ride my hackery.

I save the whole HTML files for later perusal, Fwib. -_-
