New website feedback

Can we get a Darker Skin? MY EYES HURT.

I'm honestly reading way less on here because of it.

For those of you who have trouble reading the gray text of the main site, there is now a new link in the footer: "Darken Text"... This makes 95% of the gray text on the main site darker, and saves the preference in your web browser. (After you click it, it changes to "lighten text" and you can toggle it back and forth.)

Nice! Thank you very much!

I'd be happy to apply a new VBulletin 4 style. However I don't have the time or inclination to create one. Got other PHG.com projects to focus on, and this is the one thing someone else could do for the site. If someone else creates a VBulletin style, I'll be happy to import it as a second option. Just out of curiosity, what do you do on other sites with white backgrounds, like Wikipedia, Google, NFL.com, CNN.com, and some of the other top 50 web sites on the internet?

That helps a lot, thanks!

I really like the comments in the news section, but there seems to be quite a low limit of characters. At least not enough for in-depth answers. And, double posting is not allowed? Is it really needed? Icouldn't finish my comment because I: lost half of it twice because of the limit, and I couldn't post the second half in another post.

I can up the character limit later today. I do like to keep double posting off limits, because it's an easy way to avoid someone taking over a post if they are immature and get mad or something. Sorry just now saw this comment when I came to post something else:

Thanks to the magic of jquery, units can now be linked to directly via URL. But you have to know how to do it. Here's how:
http://www.plaidhatgames.com/games/s...dwarves#Tundle
http://www.plaidhatgames.com/games/s...-kingdom#Anica
Etc.

You can use spaces and things too, but forums often mess those urls up, for example:
http://www.plaidhatgames.com/games/s...d-goblins#Sand Wyrm (edit: see, it messed it up)
So it's good to replace spaces with %20:
http://www.plaidhatgames.com/games/s...ns#Sand%20Wyrm

And the same with apostrophes, best to replace them with %27 even though the apostrophe should still work:
http://www.plaidhatgames.com/games/s...s#Naan%27Nashi

This information is only available in this thread! That means you now have secret information.

As an obsessed fan of the game myself, it drove me crazy that on the new site I could not link directly to units when discussing them. No more!!

Awesome!

Uhm... is there any script we should have not blocked for it to happen? (yah, not working for me)

[joepinion]

Yeah, javascript (it's unlikely to have been blocked). What browser are you using?

Also you might need a couple refreshes to get it to work right due to browsers caching javascript files. That's most likely the problem.

Also when you are at a faction page like this:
http://www.plaidhatgames.com/games/s...s/deep-dwarves

You cannot simply go up, add #Tundle and hit enter... You'd need to hit enter and then refresh, or go to another page and enter the whole url, then press enter, something like that.

ctrl+F5 did it.

FF btw
