Courier New

Yep. So the font Courier New has declared war on my eyes.

All army sizes and naq amounts under both the ranking pages, and an individuals stat page are in Courier New. They are smaller in size, non-aligned, and very very hard to look at.

EDIT: Additionally the quick ATK/RAID/SPY buttons no longer appear.

Re: Courier New

Well, I like turtles, and I like my alliance mates,

So please pardon my shock and surprise as I agree with both of them. :shock:

Oh, but I still have the quick buttons... :-"
I feel a little bit better now. :smt060


As for me, Admin has well over a day to fix the font issues on the Main Server. :D

Super cool story bro. You should write these inner monologues down for your future memoirs; which if this above post was anything to go by, HAS to be a world wide best seller.

Hell, I think anyone reading this thread is going to be blessed for simply reading such an insightful, completely relevant post. You must be the envy of all your friends and family. Held up atop a pedestal, showered with praise. No no. No need to deny it. We can all see how talented you are by reading your posts.

EDIT: On topic portion, this obviously means that anyone on PPT is indiscernible from those who are not until you click their page directly.

Re: Courier New

It is annoying to read and it takes a split second to load...

Also earlier tonight every time I went on a page with them (on chrome) it would log me out...really not good for online fighting haha. It hasn't done that for an hour or two, but still, that's really bad. I wasn't the only person experiencing that either...

Re: Courier New

its creating a PNG image with the numbers and slotting it in instead of the text. Quick recon/attack/raid still appear for me
id assume it is to kerb scripted attacks.
Being an image and say 800-1,000 odd bytes, versus text being 10-15 bytes, times 60 per page, it all adds up to longer load times.

Re: Courier New

Are the quick buttons selectable under preferences perhaps?

Section Admins - who will be 'in charge' of the section in question. They will be responsible for the overall feel of the section, the setup/structure, and most importantly the community/users in the section. This will incorporate the old 'ombudsman' role. And insofar as the Section Admin is responsible for the users, they are also responsible for the high level mod behaviour towards the users.
So -as a user - if you have an issue with how you are treated, rules, bans, whatever --goto the section admin... They are there for you!

There is no 'reporting structure' in this setup -- tech, mod, and section admins are all on equal footing, each with their own (somewhat overlapping) responsibilities.
Mods report directly to the mod admin, and indirectly to the section admin for the section in which they mod.

Re: Courier New

Yeah my page loads significantly more slowly, and no quick buttons appear at all. There is no visible way to make any related changes via the user preferences page.

Re: Courier New

At first I thought it was silly to change the font if its causing such a slow down... Then I realised it was actually releasing images in place of the naq and army size which is great cos it makes scripting/html scraping much more difficult :)

So I can live with the lag I guess

Re: Courier New

No. Just no.

Terrible font to read.

Takes more than a split second to load; entire page of naq is blank and the images load one by one.

This means you can't quickly attack multiple targets and it will leave people with a low defence vulnerable because they'll have a longer time with naq out OR they'll have to use the bank, which sucks money away from them.
