yes, it does.

basically, you're dumping every single possible board layout into the html template and then using a class that changes based on the forum id to specify which layout version is to be displayed for each board. the only real exception to that is that redirects use a different html template, so imo you can pull out a redirect-specific template from the general board list and stick it into that one only, but that's really only useful for a couple of boards, if that, so it's not much help to you.

(that's actually why i generally recommend trying to minimize the number of different layouts by styling as much of it with the css as possible - because ho boy it's not gonna be fun trying to load 40+ individual board layouts for each one of the 20+ boards that are on the index page tbeh.)

i tentatively expressed to my roommate that i was glad it was stuck (while it was) and they went, and i quote,

Yes lets make trade prices soar and make economic growth go down“

fuckin normies

listen i have only one opinion about the development by this point. and it is put it back.

(i say where apparently the immediate next ship to go through the canal was another one from evergreen and the canal workers were just the "one fear" meme about the whole thing)

your instinct about using the forum id? absolutely correct.

basically what you're doing is, well.

<div class="boardlayouts-#"><div class="wideboardlayout">(board layout goes here)</div>
<div class="smallboardlayout">(board layout goes here)</div></div>
in the forum layout html template

then in the css, you're doing
.wideboardlayout, .smallboardlayout { display: none; }
.boardlayout-1 .wideboardlayout { display: block; }
.boardlayout-2 .smallboardlayout { display: block; }

that's it, that's the strat.

(or, y'know, there's the threads here and here that have better + more detailed instructions on how to do it, since uh. you are not the only one to ask that question l-lmfao-)

personal opinion here? i honestly think the monetary shop plugin not working for you actually might be a blessing in disguise.

assuming that your site is the one you mentioned in the interest check.... honestly, if i were you, i wouldn't even go for a site shop at all.

i've never really been a fan of having character slots be purchasable items (since imo there's nothing stopping someone from pulling all the currency from one account and not posting on any of the others) and putting important canons or limited character slots behind a currency wall is a bit of a yikes (both from a "you shouldn't have to make a character you don't care about just to play the one you do" standpoint and a "i don't want to feel obligated to accept someone's super broken character just because they purchased a shop item for them" standpoint). not to mention that your site doesn't really seem like one that would hard require a points + shop system in the first place (like one with a leveling system or a combat focus), so it's not as if it's a huge ordeal to just. retool the systems to not use one.

if it were me, i'd just. set it up so you can't make additional characters without having x amount of posts on your previous ones (and maybe scale it out so you don't see someone doing, idk, 5 posts on char #1 and then abandoning them forever afterwards). put the important canon roles to where you can only apply for one if you're an established member of the community. make limited character types be something you can apply for freely but they're held to a higher standard than your average character who wouldn't really matter. most of the other stuff is, well, decoration so their absence isn't really a huge loss in the grand scheme of things (means less to moderate on your end as well tbeh, plus i personally find a lot of those things tend not to actually get bought + used by the general community tbeh).

but that's just my two cents so. yeah.

guess what delightful world event i can no longer derive pleasure and joy from

just a quick lil bump of a non-update since uh. i've not forgotten this but oh no the worst scenario happened where the skin design gods abandoned me but also i got a lot of balls up in the air so site-building solo is gonna take me a good long while around when i can snag a moment that they're all in the air and not falling yet so. yeah.

keep this tucked away in the back of your mind, cool? cool-

me: oh this is actually coming out super nice, i'm kind of proud of i-

me, five seconds later, upon seeing how many gorgeous skins are out there: jk nvm time to throw everything in the garbage and give up cuz i can't compete with that nor do i think i can even try

What is post splicing?

it's when you get multiple lines of interaction going on in the same post. most long-form rp formats (like forum-based rping) tend to do it a lot (since imo it's considered bad form to regularly post 600+ words but only really have the last 100 with anything to actually react to), and it's not always bad per se, just awkward sometimes when you have competing lines of interaction going on close to each other (like susie having to react to an entire venting tirade a friend dumped on her and then in the very next paragraph calmly explain the plot of the mystery novel she was reading when the friend came in three posts ago and asked about it).

the day the ever given gets unstuck will be the saddest day of my life, bar none-

it always amazes me how much more lively a site looks just by cycling through my accounts every day

arknights: rate up c:
me, after losing all my orignium: so that was a lie-
