      Welcome!   03/05/2016

      Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change.  If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away.  I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

  1. Things That Are Just Annoying

    Well, this would be why it's showing like that, in terms of HTML/CSS... As for why it might have gone like that: notice that the lavender in the current (unshimmed) GUI is not an inline style. Presumably the editor script or something assumed the automatic non-overriden background to be white, when trying to copy/paste with formatting? Of note, it specifies the font size for that line inline also.
  2. Update (yes, I know it's only been five hours since the last one, sorry about that): New latest version. Turns out that the rules for stopping the camouflaging of the left side bars on profile pages were in turn causing the complete camouflaging of the text of the right sidebar on the main 910CMX homepage. To be honest, I don't know if anyone here actually uses the latter (whereas I know that people do view profiles), but I've further specified the selectors, which fixes the problem.
  3. I've made some adjustments so that the "Contact Us" in the footer, and the text of left panels on profile pages, are no longer near-camouflaged. Latest version.

    As a Redditor, I feel the need to interject with the (in)famous https://np.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/2byyca/reddit_helps_me_focus_on_the_important_things/cjb2z41/
  5. Word of Dan Discussion

    And UNIX for that matter… [note: TVT/UN]
  6. Forum officialness

    It's showing up now.
  7. Forum officialness

    As I mentioned in an edit, I suspect they may have shown up initially due to still being present in caching at some level. Given that both default profile images and re-uploaded profile images work fine, but others display as alt-text, I suspect that the profile-image storage directory/database/whatever iPB uses may have been moved/renamed/deleted (as in the images or the references were changed, but not both).
  8. Forum officialness

    Huh. Turns out everyones' are visible on the mobile site, it's only the Desktop site that they're missing on. But yes, yours is showing up on both now. Edit: spoke too soon, the others have stopped showing up on mobile as well as desktop. Maybe I just had them cached until now?
  9. Forum officialness

    After I reuploaded my profile image, it started showing up again. @mlooney, @Pharaoh RutinTutin, @The Old Hack and @PSadlon, you may wish to do the same.
  10. Grammatical Overhaul: The Wiki

    The history sections on some pages (Tedd for example) are far too long, and kinda duplicate the individual arc pages. Merging them with the arc pages and then abridging is the way to go. My initial attempts at abridging didn't get very far though. However, before copying/moving anything, consult https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia. While Shiveapedia is not Wikipedia, it uses the same BY-SA licensing and therefore what is said on that page does apply. In short, in the edit summary, put a link to the source page from which you are copying/moving, so people browsing the target page edit history can consult the source page edit history for the original authors of the content, thus fulfilling the attribution requirement.

    I, for one, C what you did there.
  12. More Speculation.

    That would depend highly on the timezone of reference.
  13. Story Wednesday Nov 16, 2016

    Was that deliberate? Elliot may even have died/been killed in the alpha world.
  14. Things that make you MAD

    The machine eventually unlocked itself, laundry was drenched in the case of the items at the bottom but otherwise unwashed and bone dry. Have transferred to another machine which appears to be working.
  15. Things that make you MAD

    Due to the laundry in my block of my hall of residence being out of order, unusually, I had to use the other one. After I found / was directed to it and finally got to use a machine, I paid and selected cycle, it read 35mins, nothing seemed to happen at first, strangely, I came back 40mins later, still nothing had happened and it still read 35mins. MY CLOTHES ARE LOCKED IN A NON-FUNCTIONAL WASHING MACHINE IN THE LAUNDRY WHICH IS NOT THE ONE IN MY BLOCK. Oddly, someone had seemingly used it before me fine. I called the warden, it eventually turned out that my best hope is to try and contact the accomodation centre tomorrow.

    Topical to Main Story this time, but from an older (elevated) NP:

    We're gonna need a bigger fork. (Another reference I find myself making without ever having watched its origin)
  18. NP, Wednesday October 19, 2016

    Although it was mentioned that this was because none had caught the direct glare, only reflections or (in one case) where it had already been partly absorbed by a ghost.
  19. The Grammar Thread

    Writing in HTML, one would use   for an en space and   for an em space. Either way, they both tend to be larger than regular word-spaces. I guess a more convenient way of inputting en and em quads may, if not exactly re-standardise the practice of greater spacing, maybe make it more generally feasible to use the proper Unicode codepoints for the larger spaces, rather than just using two plain spaces. But whatever…
  20. Pronunciations

    I suppose that depends on if Naperville is pronounced Napper'ville or Nay'perville…
  21. NP Friday Oct 7, 2016

    Ah, yes, place name suffices. -Chester as pronounced, -cester as "stuh" (despite originally being the same word) - i.e. Lester (Leicester), Gloster (Gloucester), Wooster (Worcester). -Burgh as "bruh", -borough either the same or as written, -ham as "um" at least in England (e.g. Birmingham). Also, Salisbury -> Solzbree. Moving on, English accents (excluding some such as Cornish, famously caracturised as Pirate) may not differentiate between "law" and "lore" to the extent that American accents do; essentially, prolonging a vowel without shifting/dipthonging implies an r, in a similar way to how changing a vowel in other ways implies an h (oh, eh). I don't believe this applies to Scotland etc, hence I didn't say "British". Re. children, oxen… boxen is already a slang in some circles ("UNIX boxen", with multiple versions or incarnations of the OS being Unixen), I tend to mentally think of more than one forum as "forumen" (neither forums nor fora seems to sound right, although the original "town squares" meaning would be "fora"); I tend to catch myself trying foolishly to extend this to "album" also (sadly, albumen is already taken).

    Not to mention being named https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Camp_Gillette

    Perhaps making the alcohol isn't considered all that princely? He-brews…? Nah, can't be that.

    I will take the opportunity to link to https://sites.google.com/site/harjitegs/910-invisible-text-problem again (hey, that's what I put in up for!)
