Some general questions and comments about this board/forum

Post by Texas Black & Gold » Fri Jun 05, 2020 2:02 pm

1 Thank you to B2B for making this forum possible. SteelerFury is a great place to get more insight about the Steelers from so many different points of view.
2 If I remember correctly there was Permanent Post about SteelerFury. Such things as welcome aboard, rules/policies/guidelines, board etiquette, how to contribute etc. I don't see that anymore.
3 Is there a way to increase the font size? I couldn't find it in the FAQs. My settings are at 100% but on this website the text is so small compared to other sites. The only way I know how would affect every other website I have open.
4 Is there a better or more appropriate place to ask questions like the ones above? Because I do have several more.

Wondering why the Texan's questions have not been answered.
I agree.....the font size being larger would be nice.

Sorry kids, I was in the middle of a pandemic and move and thought I had answered.

I don’t know the answer to how to change the font size but I’ll look into it. And you can PM or email me questions about anything, although general questions about the board are probably best in a post like this so that everyone can learn from the answers.

P.S.: are you viewing on desktop/laptop, phone, or tablet? The settings for each are different, and I suspect you are viewing a version designed for a different device.

Thanks B2B.

I mostly use an HP pavilion laptop and adjust the fonts in the Chrome settings to at least 125% or 150% if a post is very long. Most posters are very good at adding a space between paragraphs and that helps a lot as well.

I'm on the other end of the "kids" spectrum when it comes to my eyes. :lol: :lol: :lol:

How do you add a picture?

I am able to attach a photo from the internet using Image function, but that doesn't work if the picture is on my computer.

What am I doing wrong?

Just below the box you use when you type you'll see a tab called "attachments". Click on "Add files"

Something happened yesterday, 28 July, on Steeler Fury. The usual white background has turned to a yellow background. But it seems to happen only on the "free for all" threads. Which btw, thank you for creating that place and not deleting the passionate posts. The yellow background just makes it more challenging to read. Especially any links that might be attached.

I don’t want it to be comfortable and I don’t want it to look anything like this place. I didn’t want it to be third place, which is why I made the separate forum. Soon I may remove the link from the board index, so if you enjoy the “discussion” over there, you should bookmark the page.

Do you have any control over the buttons?

Spefically the @#$@#$@#$@#$@#$ useless Save Draft button.

All I do is hit that stupid button accidentally.

Of all the buttons on the bottom, I can't think of any universe where it should be the 1st button.

If it has to be displayed, it should be the last. Submit should be 1st, Preview second and Save Draft last.

I would hope these are assignable.

In terms of good design, the most used button should be 1st, etc, and the least used last.

Can this be changed?

I should be forced to think about or double check what button I am hitting every 2#$@#$ post!

Its all @#$@#$@#$ ass backwards.

When editing a post, I get Preview 1st, then Submit.

I feel your pain.

Our volunteer developer has recently been too busy to make updates but I know this fix in on the list.
