Good timing! Similar to the tree/noise in the forest, is there even a bug if someone fixes it before the user notices it?
lol Indeed!

Just FYI:
Sorry for the inconvenience steinerrr! Although I don't think the map has been down since June as the past posts might imply, I did notice a problem about 2 weeks ago. I just couldn't find the time to fix it while having a lot of clients waiting for me. Actually... I didn't even have time today but gogo locked me in the DarkMatters dungeon until I fixed it.
Now can I come out?

Wow, what timing! Heh. I juuuuust fixed it about an hour ago.

Happy socially distanced with sanitized hands and face mask on...
"We The North" Day!
Whew! That was a mouthful.

Heya Zettt! I'm having trouble zeroing in on the area you're talking about. Can you tell us where abouts on the map it is?

The only thing I can see in Dryad Forest is a cave near the combo master and merchant. Is there a portal in that cave? I can't remember...

Oh crap... I did! I just found them collecting dust in storage. Wow. Don't even remember making them. Ummm...
See, I just needed you to tell me I made them so that I would actually go and look for them. Or something like that. Yes, that's a completely logical conclusion.

Hehe, I promise not to talk about your layers.
Ah! I see now. But... How were the 2DF wallpapers made? Are these from a different project?
Do you have these project files? *fingers crossed*

Nice, My dad moved from one powerplant building place to the next installing turbines. If it was for more than half a year we moved with him. If it was shorter he visited every second weekend. My mother always was worried when I used iron(III)oxid and other chemicals for electronics. The electronic magazines used to have sides with special paper which you could glue on the copperside of a circuit board. The ironIIIchloride was used to remove the copper on places the paper wasn't black.
When my dad was at home he asked if I still had enough chemicals and then there was the discussion between my parents.
I wouldn't design material for work with it, but for teching electronics the pen seems to be nice.
p.s,; Is there already a criminal case with a murderer using the pen to draw a deadly line to high voltage? Might write a book or sell the idea ;)
Oh for sure, that silver pen conveys lofty ambitions but it's a delightful example of something fun and educational for young tinkerers everywhere.
Quite a job your dad had. I'm continually impressed by the wealth of experiences you've shared. Makes me wonder if you've had a chance to take part in Repair Cafe trend. Seems to me you'd be well rewarded simply by the experience.

Hot damn that could not have been easy, carving all those edges on that logo.
Well done, and much respect for making that front and center.
Glad you approve @Flix!
It's a much deserved placement.
At first I was going to ask you to provide something but thought maybe you've worked enough with all that you're doing. So I managed as best I could. I really would have liked to have done a better job though. I noticed that the wallpaper you have for D2Fallen has a a nice pro cutout of the D2Fallen logo on top of the cartoonish S2 map... I think I've asked you before but can't remeber for sure... Does a version of the D2Fallen logo exist with an already cutout/transparent background? Would love to work with an original if it exists.

What do you guys think?
Definitely better than just a link, and more eye candy for the fans!

Tinkering is so much fun eh. Those stores are like wonderlands. These days it seems STEM kits are all the rage but I agree, it's not the same as walking into an electronics store and seeing all the possibilities in front of you. Excellent lesson you provided to your #3! Saves the child from taking apart all her belongings. Reminds me of the time I thought it would be a great idea to try to recharge old alkaline batteries by connecting wires from a wall socket to a 9volt. I was a child. I swear it!
Would love to try this with the nephew!

Hey there ameaath. I think the first line about debuff might be more accurate:
Opponent's Movement Speed -29.0%. Instantly slows target's run speed. A second blast will slow target even more.
The second blast would have a visibly less effect than the first since the effect would be diminished on the second casting because of the 29% modifier. Is it possible the second debuff works but is just not as noticeable as the first?

Thanks Hooyaah! I'll see if there's anything that can be improved in sideways view.

Soooo... I built a mobile menu. Haha. It's a bit rough but I think it a good start. Have a look on your phone and let me know!

Ah! Very nice chattius. Those danged springs huh. Second mouse is now fixed!
I really wanted to replace my micro switch too. I looked around a bit and it looked as though the switch would cost minimum $30 CAD so I opted for the old "bend tha spring" method. But your mention of the D2FC-F-7N had me looking at prices again and seeing much lower prices. There's an electronics store near me that I think I'll pop by. It appears they have loads of micro switches for cheap!
addison-electroniqueI bought a capacitor from them a long time ago to repair a monitor and it's still going strong. Looks like it's time to activate my own trusty soldering station. My kitchen! lol.
Lucky daughters to have so many tools at their disposal.

I guess it's that time again. Ugh! When I got my Logitech M570 many many years ago I fell into a love/hate relationship with it. Comfort wise I can think of no other. But! All M570 models are plagued with a particularly crappy Micro Switch. The clicky bit! About a year or two after buying it, the left click began to fail. Double clicking like crazy. I managed to get warranty replacements but eventually that ran out so for the past several years I've been repairing the copper tension spring inside the Micro Switch whenever needed. About a once a year tune up. I hate doing it but the satisfaction of feeling that distinctive click of success as well as saving about $80 each time always feels great.
I just repaired one of my M570's. About to start on the second backup M570. Oh and for the record. The Micro Switch is pretty much the same in every mouse.
Here's my go to guide that I follow from instructables. If you've got a fave mouse that you'd like to resurrect I highly recommend this guide:

Cheers @Androdion! And a Scotch for you too for getting this whole thing rolling.
I think I need to build in a mobile menu after this.

That's pretty awesome the way it shrinks the images and auto-resizes/moves the rest of the content.
Thanks Flix!
It's quite a challenge trying to trick old code into thinking it's the latest greatest cutting edge stuff. Haha. Most challenging of all is CSSing as much as possible so as to require as few wiki edits as possible. Granted, I don't think I need to explain to you the trials of tweaking code!

And here's the present day method of doing it:
From the top of the forum, click on your name beside your avatar to see the menu drop down. Then click on Account Settings.
The following page that loads after clicking Account Settings will have the link "Signature" on the left side which will let you make your sig. That's it!

Hehe Androdion.
All good. I'll tackle the misbehaving google tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm terrible with formatting!
Yellow group works alright until the adds start breaking the position of the Sacred banners (pic 1). Blue group is still the same for me, does Chrome for Android allow you to clear cache or something?
@gogoblender S10 Lite is it?
No worries.
Ah yes, yellow has a new problem now that I've made changes. Need to lock down that banner. Blue and Orange I've yet to work on. Never used Chrome Android I'm afraid. I'm a Firefoxer.

When Gogo mentioned a complete rewrite I understood that it should be something like a migration from tables to full CSS, and I know how much of a pain that is (in theory since in practice I can't write code to save my life). I'll see if I can snap some screens on my phone and you'll see it very clearly.
Here they are:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Very true on migrating from non-styled html tables to css styled html tables. Thankfully, the wiki skin/theme itself is mobile friendly. That happened when we upgraded the wiki some months ago and I rushed to transfer the style of our now broken/outdated/invisible wiki theme into the new upgraded wiki default mobile friendly theme. So the core is mobile friendly but our very old content layout methods are very not friendly.
Thanks for the pictures Androdian! I quoted your pics and then resized them for quick reference. (Quick tip! You can resize images in posts while in edit mode by double clicking on them)
Pictures 1, 2, 3 should be fixed now which is the main sacredwiki page in mobile. I had to remove the menu links and the user links at the very bottom of the page which were causing the problem. Because of this change, all pages will have improved at least somewhat. In mobile.
Pictures 4, 5, 6 (Diablo 2 Fallen page) as can be seen on picture 5, the Class and God icons are in a table that is pushing out the width of the page. The icons in picture 2 had the same problem. I fixed it by creating a class for it and typing the class name into the start of the table code. We can do the same with all instances of this kind of problem. Just need to create class names that would logically apply.
Pictures 7, 8, 9, 10 (Barbarian page) are a bit more complicated. I'll take a look at that tomorrow.
Thanks Androdion! I'll come up with ways that can help me as I create css classes for these problems. Maybe have you guys copy paste the class names in where needed. At your convenience of course.

Oh that's a very generous offer Androdion. Thanks!
It's a bit of a tangled mess at the moment. There is one strategy I'm looking at to untangle most of it which has to do with table layouts. A lot of our template designs were created when the web was much more predictable. You know.... Like, when I was gaming and wiki-ing on a CRT screen.
There. I said it. ^^
So the whole wiki was designed with static widths in mind. As well as much of the websites on the internet. Dare I say we were even cutting edge at the time.
Table layouts that are used widely on the wiki kinda force the width of the wiki to stay too wide for mobiles. There is a bit css code I could implement that would force tables to flow down the page rather than across the page but presently that would affect all tables on the site which would cause problems with some of the tables that we wouldn't want to affect. It would be nice if I could just write one line of code to adjust all tables that are problematic but I haven't had enough time to focus on the problem.
At the moment I can think of only one sure method which would mean we would have to tag all problematic tables with a unique CSS class name. Then I would write some css properties for that table class name in such a way that the table layout would change only when viewed on mobile.
So! If you guys are game and you have some time, a quick bullet list of the most common examples of the site not displaying well in mobile would help me focus on those areas and perhaps bounce ideas off eachother.
Progress is a royal pain indeed!
Though I'm always so pleased when it's all done.
