Oh, you're completely removing the mobile version? You have my blessing.
If you could make it so the Codex is only accessible from PCs, not even laptops, you'd have my sword too.

I just liked that the image in my sig finally became visible again. Along with several fantastic Nutmeg quotes I have saved there.

The user tagging autocomplete popup (for example, @nig changing to Nigger) without typing further letters is now larger on mobile. This makes it less frustrating to use.

I'm not sure, maybe it's too tall now. Feedback might be useful.

Twiglard participation trophy ratings aren’t stacking on this post https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...he-samaritan-paradox-devs.113688/post-4969350

Are there multiple participation award buttons for different people?
One of them has an id of 36 and the other of 56. They actually both exist in the admin panel, but only one is enabled for new reactions.

I think an admin or the forum software broke something and the second one was added so that existing trophies aren't lost.

Edit: they could be unified using an UPDATE SQL query. No idea if this is actually worth doing.

Edit 2: something's fucked up with the WYSIWYG editor. When adding inline spoilers, the damn thing puts the text on a separate line. So I have to add them manually. Bummer.

Edit 3: they actually fixed it and I can use the inline code button again. Huzzah!

Depending on your browser referral/tracking settings stuff like twitter/ibbco images and tikotk/vk/reddit embeds in xenforo won't display.

The Referer header was a mistake and I don't mean the spelling.

As you know, in the editor that's used to actually make posts, there's the header with multiple icons (e.g. clear formatting, bold, italic...). This header has different sizes so that small devices aren't overloaded with buttons (try resizing your browser window's width).

The largest size now doesn't have Undo and Redo buttons, as the assumption is made that owners of large screens know how to use Ctrl+Z.

Why remove it? It's stressful to try to use the Save Draft button because it's a potentially destructive operation when it's right next to the Undo button. So for 1000 times I've wanted to use the draft button but I haven't for this reason. It's also dangerous with the preview/bbcode buttons. I think they should be ordered in terms of destructiveness more than they are now.

If you want it restored, complain loudly now. And I think specifically Taluntain could have an issue with it.

Draft saving already happens automatically, the button is there just in case you want to do it manually as well. I would assume that undo/redo works regardless of what's saved as draft, but you can test it. So there really shouldn't be any reason to remove undo/redo. The buttons will already show differently for every user depending on their screen and font size, Windows taskbar position, etc.. I get the three dots "More options..." menu at the end of every icon block in the editor at the moment on my desktop. So if you're worried about accidental clicks, you can always move u/r to the three dots submenu. This is all configurable in XF afaik, I had that on the to-do years back, but never got around to spending a few minutes to play with it.

It doesn't work well, really. I've already lost post contents over 5 times even though there was plenty of time for the post to save itself. It's particularly bad when you have real many tabs with some of them being duplicates. And there are cases where the draft won't delete itself without the icon.

Since losing contents a few times I've largely switched to Notepad++ but I want to give it another try.

There's logic as to why it's like that. I've gone through every responsive variant and added things that I presume a user with given screen size would want given the complexity of the device they're using.

The triple-dot in every group is there on purpose. They're meant to provide additional complexity (so that the user won't have to look up bbcode guides), but without drowning the user in icons. Submenus (such as the triple-dot) don't work with muscle memory so providing many icons causes a long pause.

So there really shouldn't be any reason to remove undo/redo.
I'll take that into account.
