[Informational] New Addon Thread

[Dave]

Instead of starting a new thread every time I break change things, I'm making this the official addon thread. Any new things I try will be announced here and we can discuss.

For example, you'll notice now when you scroll down it freezes the menu above. No more need for the "Top" button, which I have to add every time I update the site.

 

[drifter]

Any way I can turn it off in preferences?

It's a cool feature but takes up a lot of screen space on mobile. Guess I have no choice but it get the iPhone 6 plus.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

Whoops, sorry I made that other thread, I'll delete it

 

[Dave]

I wondered how it looked on mobile. And it's an all or nothing thing. So it comes down to how much you hate it versus how much everyone else likes it.

 

[GasBandit]

Fuck yeah toolbar!

 

[Eriol]

I like it on desktop, but I can see it being bad on mobile.

Edit: nevermind. It's fine on my nexus 4. How small are people's screens where this is a problem?

 

[evilmike]

A quick glance suggests that it isn't horrible on mobile.

 

[Hylian]

It looks fine on my Nexus 5

 

[drifter]

NoScript took care of it for me, so no complaints here

 

[fade]

I like it.

I like it.

Fade likes something! This truly has been a wonderful day!

 

[GasBandit]

You guys having mobile troubles, I really recommend the new version of the free tapatalk client. It's light years better than it used to be.

when do we get quizzes back

when do we get quizzes back

There's some fixing they need to do. Specifically, the alerts that show everything instead of just the quizzes you haven't taken. So I'm kind of waiting for the next version, which the dev says will be in a couple of days. In the new version you can add your own quizzes directly. Found out right now you'd have to send them to me to put in.

Also, it still emails the results, which I HATE.

ANSWER ALL THE QUIZZES

[Dave]

I can turn it back on, but that doesn't mean it's working the way I'd like it to.

 

[Bowielee]

Quiz number 1 is EXTREMELY eurocentric.

 

[GasBandit]

I'm disappointed that these quizzes are all "correct/incorrect" type quizzes... I was expecting.. I dunno, personality quizzes? Polls? That kind of stuff.

 

[Ravenpoe]

WHAT ARE ALL THESE ENGLISH TOWNS?

 

[bhamv3]

Woo, got all the premier league stadiums right!

 

[Simfers]

Just going on record about the menu freeze thingie that it causes me no hardship on my mobile. BlackBerry Z10 user here (yes, BlackBerry, laugh it up )

 

[PatrThom]

Huh. It still shows the 5 uncompleted quizzes badge even when I have not logged in yet (still guest).

[ThatNickGuy]

Yeah I don't like this at all. When I click on a thread with new posts, part of said new post is cut off by this thing. I also don't like that big red "5" beside Quiz, because that's a part of the board I have absolutely no interest in. The whole thing is a giant, unnecessary eye sore to me.

 

[GasBandit]

I've got the "5" there when I've done one quiz so it should say 4, but I haven't had any problems with the bar "covering up" anything.

I'm not a huge fan of the menu bar either, for these reasons. Also, the menu bar loads a second after everything else has. This means that the stuff on my screen is pushed down when the menu bar loads. More than once today I've ended up clicking on Games & More when I wanted to click on Media Madness.

Still though, I'm sure I'll get used to it soon enough.

 

[Bowielee]

Personally, I love the menu bar. The OCD side of me hates that the red five won't go away.

I just adblocked that specific tab. Big red 5 go byebye

Interesting. Using firefox? The chrome ABP doesn't seem to have that functionality.

I was able to get the Chrome ABP to block the quiz notification, but it also removed all other links on the top of the bar except my inbox, alerts, and profile links.

 

[GasBandit]

Well, that's no good. I like having the other links.

 

[Dave]

You can now add your own quizzes. If you want a category made, however, you need to let me know and I'll add it.

Also, it now only shows the number of quizzes you haven't yet taken.

I got an error when I went to add a question
