HELP! ! !

[technicbear]

I seem to have problem with forum. When moving between forum thread pages the next page doesn't show up without reloading whole site. For example when i press next or number of page i want to see the loading bar shows up and then the whole site itself is like under a blur layer(alpha layer?), but it never changes itself. To get it to change i need to press the page i want and then hit refresh on browser for it to reload. I have tried disabling all my browser extension, but that didn't change anything. I have latest chrome on mac os 10.10.

 

edit: I did little testing, it seems like the problem is in threads with a lot of pictures. Because in this thread everything seems fine, but when i load this one: 

Only page 6 switches without any problems for me in that thread.

 This problem has already been discussed here. Happens for me too once in a while. Haven't had any chance to find out, why.

[technicbear]

@Capparezza

Ok my bad then, i haven't had time to visit this forum much after the upgrade took place. :)

[Capparezza]

@technicbear

No need to apologize  On the contrary, I guess it helps to bring up this issue now and then so it won't get "lost in time".

 

BTW: Saving posts takes a long time again... maybe it's just me?

Is there any way to still attach LXF files to a post or can you only attach pictures now?

I edited this post but can't figure out how to delete it

I have a problem. I want to change my Avatar, but the maximum picture size for it is 100KB. I distinctly remember my current one being more than that. I can't seem to compress my new avatar lower than 600KB.

Hello all, it's been  while since I was active here, and now that I'm back, I'm trying to update my signature. But I'm not able to find a way to edit it on my profile page. What am I missing?

 

EDIT: Nevermind. It moved to "Account Settings."

Your current avatar in account profile is just 7.9kb. 600kb sounds to much for a small picture. What is the resolution for your new avatar?

That's what I was saying, the new one I want to use is 600KB and I've already cropped it down. I don't know how to compress it further.

Again, what is the resolution of your new picture? And what is the file extension - *.bmp, *.png, *.jpg, *.gif, other?

It looks like EB is using pictures no larger than 200x200, so my avatar is a PNG file. Its size is 69.5kB. Now if I save it as uncompressed *.BMP file it will increase up to a little over 120kB, while saving as compressed JPG will decrease it size to 8kB. The size of JPG file is variable and depends on compression level and picture quality requirements, but at such small size it is barely noticeable. PNG is somewhre in the middle between BMP and JPG. 

So I could suggest checking the dimensions (resolution) of your picture first and if that is still not enough do a little test saving picture in different file formats.

Oh, sorry, by resolution I thought you meant size. It's 2480x2480 (Pixels), and it's a ,jpg

That's where your problem is. There's no point of having high resolution since EB doesn't use large areas for avatars anyway (I suspect EB forum might even resize larger images automatically, but this needs to be confirmed).

So to fix your issue you could simply make a copy of existing file (just to make sure not to destroy original file) and resize/scale it down to 200x200 pixels. Save as *.jpg and you'll be within a limit for sure.

Well, I'm not exactly sure how to resize it, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Edit: I resized it and changed it! Thanks @zux!

HELP!

How do I insert tags when I start a topic? I was able to insert them on my first topic I created, but afterwards I forgot how, and can't find a space to insert them.

[Hinckley]

Under the "Title" field of a new post form is a "Tags" field. You can separate each tag using commas. If you want to tag a member in the body of a post. you type "@" and start to type the username and a list of users will appear.

I still don't see it? It goes straight to content

Weird. Let me see if I can figure out what is missing... What forum are you starting the topic in?

I just logged in as a Knight and tried to start a topic in the Star Wars forum. Under the "Content" tab, there is a title field and under the title field is the tags field. Underneath that is the content field but it is labeled "required."

Is this what you're seeing?

Sorry about the bad formatting. However, there is no "tags" section.

[Hinckley]

Weird... Let me check something else.

I'm not sure why I (as a Knight) would be able to and you wouldn't. What browser are you using? And is it updated?

[quark12000]

It is strange.  I don't get the "Poll" option.  Is that because I'm still a "Vassal"?

[Hinckley]

Yes. The ability to start polls comes with a higher rank.

Did you have the "Tags" option?
