Tsunami1768 Posted August 17, 2022 Clone Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) just started messing around with the Baldr settings and 1st thing I have to say is that its to wide. I do not feel like I am reading from or writing on a scroll here. second thing ive notice is when using the indent option it only effects the left side of the screen. This looks extremely weird especially when combining it with the center text option Edited August 17, 2022 by Tsunami1768 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami1768 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted August 17, 2022 I might have to get used to how wide it feels compared to the original site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwatford Posted August 17, 2022 Clone Share Posted August 17, 2022 @Tsunami1768 the new site adapts to the screen size of the user and displays accordingly. I have a 1920px wide display so I set the browser to use 1/3 my screen and it works well. The site uses html as its underlying code so indent is going to be left side unless you go into the source of the post to change it. Can't say I have ever used indent with a center justification. If you want an indent on both sides I would suggest using the margin style tag in the source. It will take a little experimenting on your part to find what you like. I know it did for me.

Tsunami1768 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted August 17, 2022 feels very strange though, even as i zoom in and zoom out on my pc, haven't viewed it from my mobile yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami1768 Posted August 20, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) a left/right margin option would still be nice though 😁, haven't yet figured out a working source code for it. I've figured out how to use the table option to satisfy my viewing pleasure but it doesn't read well on the preview option for tablet or phone Edited August 20, 2022 by Tsunami1768 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami1768 Posted August 20, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted August 20, 2022 also why does the edit alert have to be in large bold text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami1768 Posted August 20, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) can we add additional Font style options, in OGMW, their were a few that could be added that were not on the list. going through and changing the source code one by one here is rough. otherwise im still new to the html coding options here.

Colin Posted August 20, 2022 Clone Share Posted August 20, 2022 @Tsunami1768 Additional fonts are on the list, it's just lower priority behind things like the Dice Tower and Game Ads system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami1768 Posted August 22, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) My honest opinion, I do not like the auto adaptation based on screen size. Posts appearance gets mangled!

Posts appearance gets mangled! The only time a post gets mangled by the site being flex is when a user creates a table or image, etc and hardcodes it to a pixels size beyond what a phone can handle. Tables should be set to 100% width and no more than two column if you want it to look right on mobile. When used properly Baldr makes posting and viewing across all devices easy and simple to do. I to had to learn to avoid complex tables and find other approaches that work other than how we designed on ogmw. All modern design is done by flexible design now and a lot of the older design is not used anymore. See my post below for an example of a formatted app that flexes to look correct regardless of screen size or device. https://test.myth-weavers.com/index.php?/topic/365-bwatfords-fancier-format-examples/&do=findComment&comment=9079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like art, when I design something I like it to resemble what I crafted, lol.. But yes understandable, I can use the "view desk top site" option on my phone if needed but I'm sure I can adapt and overcome the challenges about learning more of this web site coding stuff. OGMW was and is very is easy for me to DM on/create posts/make edits and whatever else I needed to do via my phone. I feel like I have to go take some college courses or get a certificate in some programming course atm, this is not going to be an easy win. I can come over your house @bwatford and you can teach me the ways! 😁 Edited August 23, 2022 by Tsunami1768 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
