I support this idea tweak as well. It would allow mobile devices to show the item images and names, without stressing them to death over float-over issues. :shades: ~D. V. "Good idea!" Devnull

New Forum BBCodes
Well done on adding this idea to the forums, Dudecrush8 and MageUK! :thumbsup: Only one thing to do now... Fix the syntax error on the example under "Monsters", because with how the following is... ...the result of... [item=89] ...would come out to... "[item=89] " ...and not your desired result, which happens to be... "[monster=89] " ...instead. I don't think we want anyone mis-reading that? :huh: ~D. V. "Spotting the confusing item..." Devnull

I think I just found the problem in their script, depending on if a certain item is being used... Script in question: http://www.google.com/uds/api/visualization/1.0/2c2aa384a0c11bcc3db50ebc83f1b92d/format+en,default,corechart.I.js Script snippet in question: Ql="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 1;" ...because it looks to me like Google is setting an arbitrary z-index level with their script that's falling afoul of the rest of your site beta page. This part was the only piece to turn up a z-index value. If you have any way to override that, it might be worth trying. Beyond that, something tells me it might be better if you report it, seeing as you're the primary developer of the graph, not me. :( ~D. V.

Corrupt a Wish (IT's over Nine Thousand)
Regarding the technical... Accessibility Options, dude... Go poke your nose into them if you're having an issue, seeing as they're a per-user thing. Unless you're sharing a single ID with multiple other people, in which case you've got a bit of an issue there. :-? Regarding the post I should be answering... Granted, but while it results in the end of non-straight males, a bunch of women are also vaporized out of existence for hating their own gender. Sadly, one of them was the woman you happened to really like/love. :( (BTW, before you flame me, I'm joking around a bit there, and only for the purposes of this thread. I would not actually want that to happen to you.) Let's see... next wish... :-k I wish my birthday plans would stop getting annoyingly hijacked. <.< ~D. V.

Uh, Peter, I'm seeing a problem with that page here on FF 3.5.x-series... The line that should be showing appears to have either not rendered, or is being buried down in the Z-index under the background image. If you could fix that, I think the graph would be great. Right now, I'm having hit-or-miss on finding the data points. :ohnoes: ~D. V. "Where's the line at? I can't see it!" Devnull

[NOW IMPLEMENTED!] View Mobile Version On Desktop System?
Hi, all... Sorry for the late reply, as I've been unable to have any serious net time for the past few weeks. You know, whole family being home and all that for the holidays... :wall: I'm glad to see this idea got implemented, and my thanks to Peter(MageUK) for doing so! :thumbsup: @Mercifull/Obfuscator -- Regarding the ads, I really don't think the mobile version will ever need any. People are still going to have to go through some of the main site pages for the things that F2P can't even properly use to their full extent anymore since the RS HighScores Removal. So if there's ad revenue to be gained, it will happen due to that. :thumbup: @Mercifull -- Regarding Zoom on Android/iOs, don't you get a zoom control in your bottom right corner or something while you're scrolling a page around, which you can click on to adjust your zoom? Or do you perhaps have settings available to you that would let you adjust fonts/zoom that way on your mobile device? :huh: @Peter(MageUK) -- On other notes, since I'm guessing you might want a little help finding things to tune up on the mobile version, I'll be around the tracker and another thread or two here soon. See you there! :D ~Mr. D. V. "I even sense something here might need to go to a thread of its' own?" Devnull (p.s.: I think I'm gonna go update the thread header to indicate this idea has been implemented... and this post can have something positive attached, IMO.) (p.p.s.: Done! Sorry for the long wait!)

Wrong, because first off, you took out the word "potentially" and removed it from your take on my observations, which happened to notice "potentially unstable" aspects of that extension. Second, go to Chris Pederick's User Agent Switcher Help Page and look at the first item under "Install" and the second question under "FAQ" there. FF Extensions that have possible issues like these upon launch/shutdown/install/uninstall never get installed by me because I keep my profile stable. I have some rather nasty criteria when picking out extensions, and if they don't pass that, they don't get near my FF profile. 'Nuff said on that. <_< As for this... But from this it sounds like you're using an outdated version of FireFox, because loading bookmarks/history in the sidebar is no longer the default action (it's an overlay now). Is that the case? Running an FF 3.5.x-series browser here. A bit antiquated, but stable and within the minimum specs required for even the new site's beta version. I might slide up to FF 3.6.x-series, but that will only be if I can confirm all the extensions both I and my family use will make it over the barrier. :geek: On the other half of the matter, here's another spot where you're wrong, because I did some considerable research on Mozilla's Support Site last night while I was away from Tip.It. During that research, I found out that the sidebars are still possible to be called in the same ways as they always have been since FF 3.0.x-series, via keyboard shortcut, view menu, and toolbar button. Those are the methods I generally use, so it normally doesn't open as an overlay (or as a window, in the version I use) for me. The overlays/windows are called via the bookmarks/history menus, but I don't use those unless I have to get really deep, as the sidebars do what I ask very perfectly. Further, I just ran another stack of research as I composed this post, and found that "Load in Sidebar" is still possible on bookmarks even in later FireFox versions. In short, the intended functionality and methods have not disappeared. :shades: ~D. V. "Looks like I haven't fallen through a dimensional warp..." Devnull (p.s.: Thanks for the Forum Burnout... Now to go relax my brain... ugh...)

Gandorf, while I don't know anything special about the accounts you're naming, I do know that going by them isn't a safe approach. If they discontinue being P2P at any time, you instantly lose tracking until either another name is selected, they resume being P2P, and/or another method such as what I've suggested with "last page, last name" is used to do the tracking. If I were the coder for a tracker like this, then I would take the safest approach that I possibly could for making sure it wouldn't quit working suddenly. :geek: ~D. V. "Doesn't help much to have failures in your data stream..." Devnull (p.s.: As a reminder, I'm a supporter of this idea. I just think the safest approach should be taken to it.)

Mic slot in pc not working
About all that I can suggest are these: Check your BIOS/UEFI Check your Device Manager Check your Audio Properties It is honestly extremely unlikely that something got toggled, that a driver changed, or that your system auto-switched audio devices. But, it doesn't hurt much to check and/or try toggling changeable system settings, just in-case some normally impossible issue occurred. Personally, I hope it is just software issues, because you're stuck buying another motherboard or something to enable you to link your microphone differently if the problem isn't software-related. :huh: ~D. V. "If it isn't a hardware failure, then it should be fixable in software." Devnull (p.s.: I expect someone else to come up with something a bit more helpful than this. Stay tuned and keep a watch out for them.)

Not quite. Someone else might slow down on their experience gains. In which case, Magebank becomes no longer in last place on the now P2P-only highscores list. The best approach would be to start from the highscores front page, just simply jump to whatever the last page is, and then check for the last rank number listed, not the name at that rank. As I type this, 32052 pages, and a final rank number of 705138 are listed on the highscores. Any name could be in that last slot, and at any given time. But, it won't always be the same person, that's pretty much for certain. :geek: ~D. V. "Here's the missing puzzle piece, explained in a little detail..." Devnull

Hi there, Randox... I was a bit on overload when I typed what will now be my 3rd most recent post (and my family just overloaded me again while I was typing this one, so I may have forgotten something once again), which caused me to lose track of what I was saying, resulting in my finishing that post before all my thoughts properly reached that post. :wall: Anywho, per my earlier posts at Post 5 5132359[/snapback], Post 8 5132707[/snapback], and Post 13 5134208[/snapback] of this thread, I had also intended that this helped people who have RS running already and need a lack of additional load on their CPU. You are definitely not "just making shit up", as you put it, because in reflecting back, I found part of my own thoughts that I had temporarily forgotten. I still fully intend that anyone who is actively playing RS would be able to pull up Tip.It's new mobile version (in beta, atm) on the side, next to the already running RS Game Java Applet, and I fully apologize for making you think else of my own personal thoughts in regard to that. :( Heck, I just realized that if we do get to have the mobile version on desktops, we could use a bookmark with "Load in SideBar" checked to make it come up on the side of the RS Java Game Applet. It would come up next to the game where the bookmarks/history does. In short, and in true realization, the real side effect would be older desktops being able to view something that's not CPU-heavy, and the real main effect would be the ability to have something alongside the RS game. I will consider myself glad to have a fellow community member like you, Randox, who can give my mind a jump-start when it's been knocked off-track. :shades: ~Mr. D. V. "Still on-board with the 'alongside the RS game' ideal... Thanks waking my brain up, Randox!" Devnull

Given the recent Tip.It Times article, "New Metric to Judge Jagex", I think that what SantasLittleHelper wants is a day-by-day statistical graph/listing of how many P2P'ers are currently on the RS HighScores? If that's the case, I would support it, seeing as that would be useful to know about and it would help keep us aware of the overall state of RS. :geek: ~D. V. "Possible support?"

An off-topic side note... To both of you, what I'm primarily referencing as "being cold" is people telling me to use a FireFox extension that could potentially render me flat unable to use FireFox, and/or destroy my profile data. That kind of solution is basically an attempt to shove a positive forum/site suggestion -- created for everyone -- under the rug and get rid of the person who suggested it. I don't think you would take so well to someone trying that on you either, right? :( ~D. V. "Somebody trying to get rid of me? Yeah, that's being cold... depressingly cold." Devnull (p.s.: Let's get back to sticking to the topic now, alright? I do try to avoid taking everything as a personal attack... sheesh!)
