E=mc² and Star Trek

Mon, 2013/11/25 - 11:52pm

Ever noticed that when people walk into their quarters on the Enterprise (ST:NG) they first thing they usually say is "Computer: lights". Why are they off in the first place? Does it matter at all if they just leave them on all the time (except to sleep, of course)? They are constantly converting matter to energy and back (replicators, transporters, etc.) On the Enterprise-D there are 400-odd people eating three replicated meals a day, not to mention all the other energy consumption... and yet they turn the lights out when they leave the room.


[Gothic BC] Upcoming Events on the Home Page

Sat, 2013/11/23 - 4:21pm

I'm not sure if I will keep this or not, but for now I'm trying out having events upcoming in the next couple of days float to the top of the list on the home page. This is a little redundant to the "Upcoming Events" block at the bottom of every page, but not entirely. Any opinions?

[Gothic BC] New Features for the Photo Gallery

Fri, 2013/11/22 - 2:01pm
  • There are share buttons available in both the full-screen / phone view and the image rate/tag/comment pages. 
  • Rating buttons are prettier and easier to use on a phone
  • On the photo gallery thumbnail pages a shift-click will take you directly to the rate/tag/comment page, bypassing the full screen view.
  • The rate/comment/tag link in the full-screen view opens in a new tab so you don't lose your place in the gallery when you want to comment on, rate or tag a picture.

[Gothic BC] Latest Fixes and Updates for November 13

Wed, 2013/11/13 - 3:37pm
  • At the bottom of every page there are now three boxes showing pending friend requests, upcoming events in the calendar and recent comments throughout the site.
  • A default user picture has been configured for users that don't have one set up.
  • The wysiwyg editors work show the colours and fonts the post will actually be in (white sans-serif on black) rather than the default white backgrounds and serif font. 
  • Filters have been put in place to make the really old forum posts from before 2008 readable without the obsolete markup code showing. 

[Gothic BC] Latest Fixes and Updates

Sun, 2013/11/10 - 10:14am

I've brought back the ability for Confirmed Adult Users to set their default NSFW filter state in the user profile and for users to be notified of tags in the public gallery. Go to "My Account" in the user menu on the left side of the page and click the "edit" button. You'll see the check boxes on the page. The user profiles are still a work-in-progress and still a bit of a mess, bear with me. I've also made some more tweaks to the user photo album upload and promoting user albums to the public photo gallery.
