  As yet unnamed forum project.
Posted by: capnsquarepants - July 16th, 2018 at 5:15 AM - Forum: Software - Replies (9)

So, with the impending doom of ZetaBoards,  I had the itch to build my own forum software, as an exercise to test some ideas I had on database design/coding conventions

I'm using the Yii framework, and adding bits and pieces as I go along.

I've almost completed the backend (I call it the backstage heh), and will be working on the frontend as soon as I get some ideas on how it should look like.

Attached is a screenshot of the administration area.

The sharp-eyed among you will notice that it looks suspiciously like ZB 2.0. I borrowed their colours :p

Any thoughts?

  Tropico - A Citybuilder?
Posted by: Guardian - July 15th, 2018 at 12:49 AM - Forum: Simmania - Replies (9)

Just curious if people consider Tropico a city-builder, or another sort of game. 

I only pose the question, because I've noticed a few places where its mentioned that Tropico is too tongue-in-cheek and more management than city builder.

Share your thoughts!

  "zoned Forums theme broken?"
Posted by: SpookyZalost - July 15th, 2018 at 12:31 AM - Forum: Community Related - Replies (3)

Saw the theme in the list so I went ahead and tried it but there was no different, is the theme a joke or just not implemented yet?

thought it would have been funny to go to the technical section and see it turn yellow lol.

  Cybrary - Online Security Training

Has anyone tried Cybrary?

https://www.cybrary.it/

I've heard some good things about it and know a few people that use it. Others say it wasn't worth their time and they always try to sell them stuff they don't need. 

Thought I'd share and ask opinions in the same vein.  Cool

  Do you setup a SWAP space on your drive?
Posted by: SpookyZalost - July 8th, 2018 at 12:05 AM - Forum: Technology & Hardware - Replies (4)

so... windows does this by default and it's a pain to turn off but I'm curious, does anyone ever setup and or use their SWAP space?

I read a while back that having them on SSD's can actually shorten the lifespan of the drive since they have a limited though still numerous amount of read/write cycles

also that they're pointless on SSD's because... well SSD's.

any thoughts on this?

  YouTube picture-in-picture now available for free for U.S. Android users
Posted by: VSS - July 6th, 2018 at 3:39 PM - Forum: Technology & Hardware - No Replies

U.S.-based Android users that watch videos on YouTube but don't have a subscription to YouTube Red or YouTube Premium will now be able to use a long-requested feature.

As originally discovered by George Burduli at XDA Developers, users of the YouTube app on Android will now be able to use picture-in-picture functionality. Available as a toggle within the app, once it's activated, it allows users to have YouTube videos playing on their Android devices while using functions outside of the app, such as browsing the Internet.

this would benefit me a lot since i watch YT vids everyday

  Mojave (The new Mac OS)
Posted by: Darth-Apple - July 3rd, 2018 at 4:20 AM - Forum: Technology & Hardware - Replies (3)

So I bit the bullet tonight and went ahead and upgraded to the public beta. Besides a pretty severe memory leak (which isn't surprising for a beta), it's honestly a fantastic release in the making. I've already switched to Dark Mode, the dynamic backgrounds are great, the new app store looks great, and a lot of the new apps and feature adjustments are very polishing. Oh and stacks! I wish this feature was available on folders outside of just the Desktop, but let me tell you, this feature cleans up the desktop like none other! It organizes files based on their type and declutters everything quite well.

Only issue I've had is with yarascanservice. It's a process that starts immediately after bootup and quickly consumes 22GB+ of RAM (my mac only has 16GB!!) I had to go into Activity monitor and force quit it. Went ahead and reported it to Apple, hopefully that gets fixed quickly. It appears to be some sort of antivirus that eludes just about everyone. It's apparently new and nobody really knows anything about it.

Otherwise, never been prouder to own a Mac. Windows has become less and less viable as time has gone on for me. 

Anyone else used the new beta, or looking forward to its final release?

  MyCode image w/h
Posted by: Harry K. - June 26th, 2018 at 5:03 PM - Forum: Community Related - Replies (9)

Hey Darth,

As some of you may or may not know, you can embed an image like so:

Code:
[img]url[/img]

However you should be able to specify a width and height too:
Code:
[img=50x50]url[/url]

This adds a width="50" and height="50" to the image tag. However in your global.css file you have the following class which is overwriting any custom image dimensions:
Code:
.scaleimages img {
   /* max-width: 100%; */
   height: auto;
   width: auto;
}

Now, the reason max-width is commented out, is because you also have the following, which overwrites the scaleimages:
Code:
#posts_container img {
   max-width: 100%;
}

Why do we use max-width and why is it required? The max-width: 100% is set to make sure that any image that is inside the post container is scaled to fit either the full size image, or the full size of the post container - which ever comes first. Without this, any image that has dimensions above that of the post container would completely break the page.

What's causing the custom dimensions to be overwritten? To put it simply, the scaleimages class. As we have already established the max-width attribute is obsolete due to the post_container img class. So the only attributes left are the height and width set at auto, this is requesting that the image uses its own pre-defined image dimensions.

Why does the .scaleimages class include the height: auto; width: auto;? I don't have a clue to be fair, as far as I'm aware it is not used in the default MyBB theme, so this has been added by Darth? As I'm not aware of his reasoning, and can't figure it out myself, so I deem this useless. Tongue

Solution? Remove the .scaleimages class from your CSS completely. Your post_container img class is handling the max-width attribute already, forcing any image regardless of original or custom dimensions to scale down to fit in the page. Any image smaller will hold it's original size or use the custom defined size.
