Testing testing. Chew, won chew, it’s chew for chewenty chew here at the wacca.
I usually lurk in the background, pretending I’m one of the cool kids, so I don’t need authorship, but can I get an approval or a join or whatever the equivalent is for here? Please and thank you.
Thing I haven't figured out is if there is a way to have a post with just a title and single image rather than the entire series of images/content displaying on the main page. Also, gifs are only thru this giphy thing in replies? https://media2.giphy.com/media/2hgs0dO9V8Ekj8Wvfe/giphy.gif
On PC, I have found that you can frequently paste the link location on a .gif and get it to stick. I think it depends on whether said link leads through some convoluted nonsense like pinterest first.
I'm Guess I'm Still A Lurker. I haven't used my Disqus ID since I stopped going to The Escapist and The Mary Sue, but didn't see a reason to make a new one.
Thank you, Ag – and it is so nice to see a friendly face https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wMW9lw5oxHk/X6tZZsyA_sI/AAAAAAAAE34/mwhQpuNpanQCOm7Yytm0N9YlHdKwZUk8QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/DSC_0026.jpg LOL
Is everything teeny-tiny-infinitesimal on blogspot on anybody else’s phone …?
Oh, yes, I know. But you'd think if you were gone all day and shut down and booted up your computer and then re-opened your browser it would just... load the current page.
No, I mean as a mod I could star the header image in a post itself and make it bigger/feature on the main page. I have found where you can edit images and make them extra large inside a post, though.
If only we could have a single header image, though. Like when we do the Photo Gallery it'd be nice for the first image to show up on the main page then the rest could be a surprise.
Aha. I'm an Android girl but I'm sure they don't mean to be far behind (they have a "request mobile" for Medium and Reddit, so I'm sure it's around somewhere)
If it were not for you & Owl & kristinbytes, C'est, I would be quite useless, lol
I'm glad we like cabbage; I make a lot of cole slaw -- and also collards AND I have a new crab salad recipe that uses celery and people actually like it, but ... damn
I was just looking around at the Mod tools trying to get a feel for how it all works. Under Themes, we are currently set to Simple Wide. If you scroll down, look at Emporio theme (I think the sample article is called Tasty Treats). It looks almost Kinja-like. Do you think if we changed to that theme, would it help the issue with wanting the only one preview picture on the main page? It kinda looks like it might. Of course, we’d have to ask kristinbytes & owl first...
Just posting to see if I can do the thing. Also a visual summary of my week so far: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9c2119a0b9a1482eb381e16b8222515e1217ac7038b936cfd31fddd6c45106ff.jpg

ReplyDeleteThings I have learned today:
1. The front page does not auto-refresh, even if you have closed and reopened your browser.
2. However Ag got a tweet to embed in a post, after he tells me.
(I will miss big pictures.)

ReplyDeleteYes, that refresh problem is...well, a Problem.

ReplyDeleteThe little downward arrow next to your icon at the top of the comments has a drop down menu. Click on “display media”. Boom. Big pictures 😃

ReplyDeleteClick on the BackTalk logo to refresh the page
ReplyDeleteIf you click on the BackTalk logo, it refreshes the page
ReplyDeleteIt seems hit and miss for me
ReplyDeleteI keep wanting to say KINJA'D but...
ReplyDeleteWait, who are you again?
We're gonna have to put some fka's up in our handles.
If it gives you a preview box before you publish it'll work. If not, bastard it is.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ag – and it is so nice to see a friendly face

ReplyDeleteThe preview is a lifesaver for figuring this new stuff out.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try this
ReplyDeleteI fully expect to fail several times
Oh, yes, I know. But you'd think if you were gone all day and shut down and booted up your computer and then re-opened your browser it would just... load the current page.
ReplyDeleteI’m not totally sure what you mean, but I have made posts recently with just one cover image?
ReplyDeleteTry going thru here, also if on iPhone you can “request mobile site” and it’s better formatting

Ah. I see. That is aggravating. I use private browsing so it’s always a fresh reload for me.

ReplyDeleteMaybe the answer to bigger images could be solved with some fancy HTML ? I’m not sure. That’s way over my head but I wonder...
ReplyDeleteAh I gotcha!
ReplyDeleteAha. I'm an Android girl but I'm sure they don't mean to be far behind (they have a "request mobile" for Medium and Reddit, so I'm sure it's around somewhere)

ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a learning curve. If I find it, you know I'll blast it to the masses.

ReplyDeleteThe page break is in a menu on the top right marked More Options. Look for a line in there.
ReplyDeleteI know, us too. I hate it.

ReplyDeletePage break. Hamburger on far right says "More options." It's in there. A line.

ReplyDeleteI found the mod tools earlier. Once. :\
ReplyDeleteI did notice how easy it was for pretty much anyone to start pushing buttons. We'll have to watch out for that.

That last tweet by Anson Mount 😂
ReplyDeleteI'm tootling around figuring out how the threads work here. I should really switch to using my laptop.
Nope

ReplyDeleteJust testing... (was Attack It!/SVVIP on kinja) I don't think I need authorship though, as long as I can comment is fine. Think this works?
ReplyDeleteupdates/changes and gif/images in replies seem to take a while to register
