Ask the Staff Anything About RF

For anyone who wants to try this:

Go to settings/ accessibility/ visibility enhancements/ (and then) either inverted colors or negative colors (or colours).

Easier on the eyes too.

My screen is black and orange with white font. I tried to load a picture of it but it's saying the file is too big.

I've got that issue posting most photos here since the software updates a ways back.

Apparently a trick is to screenshot the photo then crop it.

The problem I have trying to take a screenshot is that it just shows up in the normal colors, not inverted.

That's why I was trying to use one device to take a picture of the screen on another device.

Yup. I tried the same thing and deleted the photo hahaha. Great minds think alike.

My answer to file too big is a simple photo manipulation app. Load the photo resize it, save it and upload.

A bit of a pain but useful on the jokes threads

Are you able to give us the ability to embed Twitter/X posts so they show up as ready to play instead of just a link? There are other XenForo forums that have this option.

Anything requiring technical tweaking is pretty much out of our grasp now.

I just use color inversion on my devices.

Pretty much the same thing.

I have not been able to find a color inversion on my laptop.

so I started using Chrome to prowl RF with the Dark Reader extension.
It makes every single web page (at least so far) into dark mode.

Makes the whole internet much easier for me to read.

What’s the difference between new posts and latest activity?

 

[Lisa Sims]

Where does "signature" appear if I set one up on my profile? How to I add a short saying (extra line) below my moniker (below my name at the top of each posting)?

The signature is what you have already put on (not born etc).

For under your piccy go to Account details -> scroll down to Custom Title and type away!

New posts displays just threads that have new posts. Latest activity displays all activity including ratings.

I thought so

Is there any way I can see how many words I've used as I'm typing?

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a function on Xenforo (forum software) that shows a word count, however, if you compose your post in Word (or any word processor program) or just copy it there after composing it here, you can see your word count. If you compose it in Word, you can just copy/paste the text here.

 

[Lisa Sims]

Maybe Google Docs, too. That's what I have.

Thanks!

It hasn't been reviewed yet.

If your RF article is still awaiting approval after several hours, what are the possible reasons?

Sometimes posts by new members are flagged by the spam filter as potential spam, and then the staff review the flagged posts and decide whether to approve the post or not. It's nothing personal, but it might take a little time. Bear with us, as we do this as volunteers.

Never mind, I figured it out.
