I installed Symbola but I still see blocks where the Zalgo text should be... (XP/Chrome)

Re: Halloween
Why do you still use XP? In that case, you would be much better off using a good Linux distro like Manjaro.
Re: Halloween
My desktop (read pitiful gaming setup) was put together in 2008 and only got a new graphics card since then, so I haven't bothered upgrading the OS. I'll do a revamp once I get myself a new mobo/processor/RAM combo for Christmas. I use a laptop with Win7/Ubuntu for work.

Re: Halloween
So it seems Maroon 5 has gotten into the spirit of Halloween, with this song about stalking, rape and murder.
I'll just leave that there in case any of you're feeling like a homicidal psychopath and wish to rock out to something on your iPod whilst you go about your nightly activities.

Re: Halloween
Microsoft discontinued support for XP, it's a dead system. And as old as my sister who has almost finished her first year of high school.
But back on topic, I'll let you do things in the last week again.

Re: Halloween
I don't see why not? HTML5 is browser-based.
XP doesn't support IE9, but something like Chrome, Opera or Firefox should?

Re: Halloween
Halloween is now just less than a week away. Like last year, I have allowed users to change their usernames so you can use spooky Halloween names. This is for people to have fun but please do not abuse the privilege. This will remain active until a few days after Halloween so you can reset your names.

Re: Halloween
Can you please make it that avatars can be larger than 120x120? I can't even get my corrupted 'sona's head to fit in under that.
Re: Halloween
Crop to a square of any size and shrink to 120x120?

That utterly destroys the image quality. I've already tried all of these workarounds.

Re: Halloween
Try reduce the image gradually, ( like 10%, and then another 10% and so on ) It usually helps to preserve image quality.Corrupted Sev wrote:That utterly destroys the image quality. I've already tried all of these workarounds.
Also use good software like Photoshop. If your using something like paint, Its going to kill your image.

Re: Halloween
But there is just as much room for abuse in the other "free to enter" text fields. This yields nothing different.Valerion wrote: Because abuse. Ask me, I will consider it.

Re: Halloween
Not really. The ranks are not normal profile fields. The default is to give a rank to all users based on the number of posts they have. We can create individual ranks by using the special rank feature, all of which requires admin access to the forum.Rikka Takanashi wrote:But there is just as much room for abuse in the other "free to enter" text fields.

Name changed back but keeping the awesome avatar for a little while before changing back to my supremely God like sexy form again.
