Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Troopers, The FISD forums will be shutting down starting at 0700 HST for 12 hours (hopefully less) on Thursday 4/19/12 while the website is moved to a new server.

LadyInWhite[TK] Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Oh look, I might get some real work done for a change. Can't wait to see the results. Break an IT leg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Alas you won't see the results per se - at least not if we do it right! It's all back end stuff but rest assured it will keep your FISD experience rocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 The web server migration is complete. Let us know in this thread if you are experiencing anything newly weird, odd, AFU, anomalous, wacky, spooky, freaky, jacked up, or annoying. Any other experiences you can keep to yourself.

boomshakra[TK] Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I noticed that when I navigate to www.whitearmor.net it takes me immediately to the Forums instead of the 'splash' page. I was not logged in at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I noticed that when I navigate to www.whitearmor.net it takes me immediately to the Forums instead of the 'splash' page. I was not logged in at the time. Absolutely. That is a deliberate change while we develop the TK Information Post - it's still there but first stop is the forums now. At least for a little while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 The general font and layout is quite smaller. Makes everything better arranged on my small netbook, but if members write in a smaller font than standard, I can hardly read it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That's odd? No changes were made to the CSS or HTML - it was all server work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomshakra[TK] Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Absolutely. That is a deliberate change while we develop the TK Information Post - it's still there but first stop is the forums now. At least for a little while Cool - thanks for the clarification - look forward to seeing what the new TK Info Post looks like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That's odd? No changes were made to the CSS or HTML - it was all server work? Strange. I made no changes to my setting. I'm using chrome. Here's a screen shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Are the sigs examples of the smaller fonts? (By the way - turn on font smoothing I beg you!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yes, sigs, member titles, everything. E.g, your "Detachment Webmaster" needed two lines before. What is "font smoothing" and how do I turn it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Font smoothing makes the text less jagged on LCD displayes. It's found somewhere under desktop preferences->display->advanced or similar. I haven't done this myself in years as a linux user where this normally is on by default.

Sonnenschein Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks, Mathis. But I didn't find something like that on my small netbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) You may need to download and enable a thing called "ClearType" from microsoft but what I'm talking about is this; This is your screenshot: This is what it looks like for me: See the difference in the fonts?

ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Also check the screen resolution settings on your netbook - the higher your resolution settings at the OS level the smaller everything will appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well,I haven't changed the resolution inthe past 3 years.It is still 1024x576. Other web pages still look the same, only FISD changed over night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Karin... is it possible that you set the zoom www.whitearmor.net once by accident and didn't know it? Now that the URL has changed from forum.whitearmor.net to www.whitearmor.net chrome may remember the zoom setting. Check out this page that talks about zoom settings for a particular site... or try control-plus and control-minus right now Aloha, -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 .. or try control-plus and control-minus right now Oooops I didnt know about this function... Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
