NerdStrudel sounds familiar.

@Kionon
Nope, I'm an AT. I graduated I-strand about two weeks a go.
All my classmates got their orders yesterday but mine still haven't come. =(
I requested overseas, though. All my classmates got US.

So if I want to be optimistic, maybe I will actually get something overseas? XD
I have a full body pic in my amv profile if you want to see it. In NWUs, as well.

I've seen enough NWUs, and would like to continue to avoid putting them in my closet for as long as possible until a command literally orders me to wear them as the uniform of the day. As of now, most operational sea commands are still, thank God, authorising coveralls, and some of them are even staying with wash khakis. For shore duty, I'll take polythread khakis, thanks. None of that CNT crap.

ohay SQ, are you saying that I shouldn't be promoting the css hack? (which I actually just gave another explanation about over in site help an hour or so ago <_< )
I believe I've gone over it in enough detail so that anyone who would be able to use the <img> tag could use the css hack, but that still leaves the issue of having to use a hack to do it.

I'm all for getting the img tag into the video description page, but unfortunately I can't make that change (we'll have to wait for santa Doki). I think one of the motives behind disallowing the img tag is so that people don't have something like a 600h x 9001w image that ends up breaking the page layout. I'm not sure if there's a way to enforce a resolution limit on img tags, but if there is it would take more time to code.

I like the public QC idea too, but again that's something Doki would have to do.
Doki and Corran were pretty much the active coders, but Corran has since stepped down. Right now, anything that involves much programming is not likely to be done (and it'll probably stay that way for the foreseeable future)

I think openly promoting the css hack proves that we should just allow the img tag functionality, really. If we were deadset on not having images in comments, then we shouldn't promote the hack. That's really all I was saying there (Aside from this css hack giving potential for other, more malicious ones)

I'm not sure if there's a way to enforce a resolution limit on img tags, but if there is it would take more time to code.

Easy way around that is by adding some additional css to the page. If I remember correctly, just do something like:
Code: Select all
img{
max-height: ##px;
max-width: ##px;
}


This should, theoretically, resize all images to the 'proper' size if they are larger than the pre-defined variables, and leave those that do not reach the maximum limit alone.
I like the public QC idea too, but again that's something Doki would have to do.

How would one go about volunteering their time as a coder?

I haven't been to the site in a long time, but as far as I recall, there's never been anything really in your face when it comes for asking for coder help/volunteers.

Was just going to ask this - I would be willing to do that, since it seems it's mostly about html/css and php is handled well.
and I "might" help with that as well.

As for the programmer thing:

"Calling All ProgrammersIf you are a web programmer and would like to help out with some site sections, join the programmer's usergroup. Visit the forum, look at the top-right of the screen for the usergroups button. Your help is greatly appreciated!"

Too bad there's no such usergroup :<

Because that announcement/news item is five years or older (probably older). We've made so many changes since then.
I think there should either be a new announcement or some new forum thread.

Even if the usergroup existed, not many people see that news item since it's been there for so long. I mean, I gloss over it all the time.
Plus, I would assume that because the date of it is posted (or it was the last time I paid attention) that programmers would think that the item didn't apply anymore.

I'm not really interested in being a coder - I can't code worth a damn. I just know simple html and css - but it would be nice if something a little more new and 'official' were posted for coders and programmers. For the greater benefit, and wider exposure.

Yeah, the programmers usergroup looks like it was removed a little while ago (meaning sometime in the past 6 months or so), and that was how you would volunteer your time to do some site coding.

I'm not too clear on everything that caused the site coding to stop, but I'll look into it when I can (I'm graduating from college in about 3 and a half weeks, so time is pretty scarce right now)

I think the correct question you should be asking yourself is
"Is SQ not a dude?"

For the next four years, you are whatever the Navy tells you that you are.

Lots of discussion over how to deal with gender and sexuality once DADT drops over on the SWO forums...

Haha.
Wow, Godix.

I didn't even remember that.

Hey. Since this thread has been so far derailed, anyway.
Is my Vent thread in the donator's forum still active?
Being as my donator status evaporated a while a go, I can't see for myself. xP

Just had to double check that it was the one you started, and yes, yes it is.

Godix: Don't remind me...

Seriously, I thought everyone knew SQ was a reverse trap?

Newfags wouldn't know. I don't. Ok, well, I do now, but I didn't until I checked her profile pic.
