OK - so the desktop is even better than the mobile. Again, great work guys

For the PM download it's just a formatting error in the sheepulator

It looks for a row of "====" to start a record, but this site downloads with "----"
It then takes the name from the 9th character of the first row, but here it's the 7th character of the second row
It then assumes the answers start on row 6, but here they start on row 5

I can't see how to get at the sheepulator code but if anyone knows how I assume that will be very easy to amend. Or is the format of the PM download easy to change?

Option three, I'd be able to write an excel page with a VBA script to adjust the formatting and share that. Not the most elegant way of doing it but I could make it work

RE: Site Housekeeping - Trigger - 30-07-2021

Tables will take a bit of getting used to also, but one you familiarise yourself with the code it's pretty easy.

RE: Site Housekeeping - tusk - 30-07-2021

way outside my wheelhouse I''m afraid. Maybe something Neo could help with

At least they exist, which is a step up Smile

It won't embed for me.

RE: Site Housekeeping - nothing - 30-07-2021

On mobile, when I go to the search page, I can see the headings (search by keywords, forum etc) and I can see the "search" button at the bottom, but I think there's options to the right that I can't see at all

Is this the code you're looking for in relation to the sheepulator EN?

Nice.  You have to share the knowledge.

Oh - for PM downloads there's no way to select messages. But you can select read or unread (but not both?) and a date limit (older than/newer than) which is fine really. If you got loads of other PMs it would be awkward but I don't see that happening here

Hope that was useful guys

RE: Site Housekeeping - Necro - 30-07-2021

MS Paint sub forum sorted. The lads will look at the issue with the advanced editor on mobile soon too, I won't say exactly when though cos it's been a lonnnnngggg day pac

Ah of course, it's there

I'm not much of a coder but leave it with me, I'll see if I can work out how to produce a localised version for us

Nice.  You have to share the knowledge.

Was simply a case of playing around and using preview post until I had tweaked it to how I wanted.

Underneath the Smilies (on the left of the text editor) you should see the TableGenerator button (thanks to Neowise), used that to put in all the info, generated the code, changed the [ table=95 ] to [ table=60 ] to make it fit a bit nicer and then simply used Bold, Italics, and Underline as you usually would for styling a post...

As Trigger said, once we get familiar with the code, it'll be easier to do up a table on the fly or add to a Sign-Ups table...

No idea how you'd go about transferring a scoreboard from Excel or anything without having to input the code in between everything, but I'm sure someone smarter than me will figure out how to do it sooner or later.

RE: Site Housekeeping - quickbeam - 30-07-2021

Ahh, good to know. I hadn't even seen the Table Generator link

You have them all as headers

Hmm, PMs seem to automatically quote the conversation. I don't know if that bugs anyone else, but it's bugging me a bit

Old Boards did that too, but you can just delete the quoted bit when replying if you choose to.

How does one get a custom title? I presume I went from Newbie to Junior Member after X number of posts. But I see some posters have something entirely different. How do I get one of those (in case I ever come up with something clever enough to use).

Have a dig around in your User CP and you should find a place to enter a Custom Title... Can't remember where exactly I found it, but stumbled upon it quite easily while editing my profile so shouldn't be too difficult to find...

I mean, it was MAGIC!!!

Went back to look, it's on your Edit Profile page, about halfway down, ya can't miss it.

RE: Site Housekeeping - quickbeam - 31-07-2021

Found it, ta very much!

RE: Site Housekeeping - quickbeam - 03-08-2021

Do we need thread ratings? I think maybe scrap them if it's possible. I see some threads already getting ratings that may be more a slip of the mouse than genuine, but don't seem to be a true reflection.

RE: Site Housekeeping - Necro - 03-08-2021

I've turned that off now.

RE: Site Housekeeping - Necro - 03-08-2021

Tusk has just set up thread prefixes for game sign ups etc.

Could be me being dumb but you know what would be REAL handy? when you open a thread to go to where you last read? This is particularly relevant for WW....god love me having to re-read posts to find out where I am!

RE: Site Housekeeping - Necro - 04-08-2021

We already have that feature. Just click on the blue arrow beside the thread and it brings you to the first unread post of the thread after you left it  Tongue

Press the highlighted blue arrow to get to last unread post

RE: Site Housekeeping - Neowise - 04-08-2021

Suppose somebody could increase the size of the arrow so it’s not referred to as the little blue arrow. Maybe.

RE: Site Housekeeping - tusk - 04-08-2021

Click the very aptly sized blue arrow
