The Glowfic Constellation

Do you have a setting, character, plot, art, or other notion that you wish to put on the Internet? This is the Internet! Whee!

I second “Sometimes a refresh can happen without the user explicitly requesting one.”

To whom it may concern:

I've been using the following custom CSS via Stylish.

Code: Select all

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("glowfic.com") {
  .post-content {
    margin-left: 160px;
  }
}
This causes (at least when used with Starry Dark, I haven't tested other site styles) the post text to align along a single consistent left margin, rather than flowing around the icon. I find this more readable and aesthetically pleasing.

Would drive me batty if it became part of the default site styling but I appreciate that it exists for people who prefer it.

I've got this one that twiddles with some colours on Starry Light:

Code: Select all

  a { color: #6080b0; }
  a:visited { color: #9080b0; }
  a:hover { color: #fff; }
  #content .beige, #content .subber, .subber { background-color: #6f658d; }

So I have like a lot of Favourite threads, sosososo many- like 300, and I'd like a way to mass Unfavourite them. I never actually Favorited them?

Did you perchance favorite an author? Favoriting is presently pretty naive.

Updates time! As usual, been a while. This SHA thing was a pretty great idea by past!me though, so much easier. I occasionally post notes here about specific things, whereas this will legitimately be "everything since last update", so if you think you've seen something before, yeah, you probably totally have.

Me:
- Fixed the bug that hid the Reply To Message form on site message pages because it incorrectly thought they were automated messages from the Constellation
- Added the suggested CSS to images within posts to try to keep them from overflowing the layout
- Refactored our tagging architecture (settings, content warnings, tags) to make tag the base and rename post tags "labels" to reduce overlap with the concept of tagging a post
- Refactoring of the unread warning Throne built to support multiple attempts "tag > no there are unread things > try again > nope still unread" and also display the unread tags above the editor
- Changing the status of a post (e.g. marking it complete) now marks it as relevantly updated to things like the Unread page
- Dynamic loading on the Add Existing Icons page
- Dynamic loading on the Galleries page, UI now combines icon and list views
- Dynamic loading of characters and settings on both search pages
- Daily Report improvements: condense author names, show NEW as relevant, pagination, show all updated not just most recently updated
- Fix for the tag page crashing (Please don't go find / poke at this page too much, it's not linked intentionally cause it's not really designed for use and likely murders memory at this point.)
- Fixing some weird bugs around the galleryless flag on icons similar to the one Throne fixed; also added a uniqueness check such that an icon cannot be added to the same gallery twice. Then found out this caused the editor not to respect keyword ordering and hammered that into working too.
- Fix index.js naming issue since Rails 4 apparently treats JS files named index in a special and unexpected way.

Throne:
- Cleaned up default icon logic such that we do less database queries and you can now have a character with galleries default to "no icon"
- Fixed a thing where characters with galleries and no default icon confused the character switcher
- Shiny refactoring of the javascript that loads when viewing a thread into logical pieces like "javascript to handle the form for posting at the bottom" and "javascript to handle the menus"
- Warns a user if there are unread replies when they try posting a new reply
- Search for a post by subject is no longer case sensitive
- Hidden/unread refactoring - separated read timestamp from "existence of DB record" so hiding a post didn't mark things as read, and made hidden posts update their read time
- Cleaned up the default icon selection code on a character's page
- Removing an icon from a gallery correctly sets "galleryless" flag
- Rails 4 AND Rails 4.1, because why do one upgrade when you are ridiculously awesome and can do two? Seriously y'all, shower love upon him.

Must… resist… poking… forbidden… page.

(Don’t worry, I won’t poke it or even look for where it is in the source code, but I would recommend making sure you need to be logged in, or maybe even a hardcoded check for UID being 1 or 31, until such time as the page is suitable for public consumption)

*Showers love upon both of you*

Love should wait until I figure out wtf the Rails 4.1 upgrade just did to our cookies.
