Website issues and improvements.

I'll investigate how the forum is currently embedding Youtube videos,

The current system doesn't allow for fullscreen, or 60Hz video playback.

You can just click on the YouTube logo to watch the video on YouTube though.

Can I just thank you again Lord Sinister for fixing the UCP? The forum feels rather refreshed now

That's what I've been doing, but that adds a 5 second delay, and quite a bit of duplicated data downloading. (it loads for the integrated player, and then has to load again for the full player on the Youtube site) In addition, I prefer to stay on a single tab when possible, because it reduces strain on my HDD. (I have an old HDD and can't afford to replace it right now, and the more tabs open, the more temp files written to/read from)

 

In short, this requested update is to make everything simpler, faster, and make my HDD last longer.

Fair enough.

Much love to all the admins of AF. <3

Yeah, seems like the forum is finally getting some much needed updates.

Is anyone else having troubles staying logged onto the forum on a handheld device? Or is it just me? I log in, tell it to stay logged in, and like... A day or two later, I'm logged out. :S

I have this problem even on my desktop computer. Could be related to cookies.

Still no HTTPS for the site, or the forum... Maybe this could help.

Okay, this is a relatively minor complaint, but could someone please redirect all the threads that are "game dungeon request" to the Game Dungeon Wish List thread? Thanks in advance.

[Jeb_CC]

Some threads I move into the Game Dungeon Wish List thread, other threads where there's a lot of room for discussion though I personally leave. I dunno what the other mods want to do though...

Just to let y'all know that download links for Episodes 3, 0, and 10.5 are broken.

Just reporting a general error upon accessing a forum. Worked fine after refresh.

 

 

Also, I've noticed sometimes the reply box expands over and hides the submit button while using Chrome for Android.

The site was never designed for mobile use, so there will be issues with access via mobile devices until it is redesigned. (which I hope takes several decades past the end of my life)

[Jeb_CC]

@Woah_G!: I get this problem too. I can usually fix it by tapping the website page (just any blank area on the screen that isn't Google Chrome's window), and it'll fix the sizing and what not so you'll get your 'submit' button back. Magic.

As for the error, no need for any worry over it. I think this shows up sometimes if there's a lot of users all on at once. But I might be wrong... Lord Sinister would know. X3 Just refresh and keep on browsing.

On my phone I use the standard Samsung browser instead of Chrome.
