To finally get us back on track to start February, we're kicking it off with a new hidden achievement pack!

I present to you guys a Dr. Who themed achievement pack!  Now, given how mysterious he is, this is a hidden achievement pack with 13 achievements.  Good luck all! ;)

(Thanks to for the icons.)

Never thought I'd see the day.

PB hates you now.
Nothing new.  That's why they deleted the first thread. :P

More of a curiosity thing - anyone else here use it?

We use it at work, and I freaking love it.  It has its caveats, but it's just too great to ignore.  The fact it's compatible with Java libraries also makes it absolutely phenomenal.

To those not familiar... Scala is a language that runs on the JVM.  It is, for the most part, directly compatible with Java, meaning you can use Java libraries with it.  Its collections library is extremely powerful, letting you write sleek code.

The comparisons I've seen are that one line of Scala code is worth 3-7 of Java.  I've found that to definitely be true.

Saw episode two.

I'm glad to see they brought back a few old characters, though sadly I barely remembered them. :( I also was expecting an ocelot appearance. Thoroughly disappointed on that one.

So, today's bug is a tad different. It's not a bug in my code, but rather a bug in someone else's code making my life hell.

I was working with a third-party API that we used to make purchases for things we need. Now, because of our design, we don't request in bulk. We make individual requests for each item. Well, this third-party decided to bill the credit card on the account for each individual item. Now, when we request 30 items in under a second, and they hit our card at the bank 30 times... the bank tends to shut down the card.

So, needless to say, I accidentally shutdown a corporate card 4 times this week. :D They've since fixed the bug, but it was a tad annoying to work around. :P

I can't deny, that is brilliant, yet my god! I would not wanna live there.
I'd be way too paranoid that I was gonna be trapped.
My first reaction was that there was no room for clothes or anything.  but it is an art piece.  Just supposed to be a concept.

shared this with me.  It's a really cool art piece in which they designed a house to fit in a 3-5ft alley way

Utah has been apparently been being super awesome for a while now, and were so humble they weren't telling anyone.

Just wanted to mention how super-awesome this is.  Anyone else seen interesting things that people are doing to help the homeless?

Ok, I've got a beta for you to play with. :)

It should work perfectly with the default template.  If you have any edits, let me know and I'll help you configure it!

Consistency mainly.  That, and we're -already- editing the CSS file... might as well.  You can also then, in theory, expand it to be customizable using the Advanced CSS Editor by adding rules.  (Again, in theory. :P)

I wouldn't personally be adding parts for the CSS Editor bit. To be honest, I haven't really played with it much, except for little bits that I have been told to add in for some stuff to help fix stuff.

But either way, I have edited the above post :P
I haven't played with it enough yet either.  Like I said, all of this is "in theory."  I don't care if you do or don't.  Just some suggestions that could make it easier to edit/use. :)

The search PB have offered/included is some times good, but some times it doesn't find stuff if you just search for individual words etc. You some times, unfortunately, need to search for full lines, or at least multiple words in order for it to find it. However, with that said, luckily all (?) browsers have built in search, so where ever you are and use CTRL+F, it should be able to find stuff fine.


And ah ok, I set it to width: auto and yeah, ok haha it worked. So that is better than removing it, definitely :)
I've edited the post to say this. Also, as for the CSS not being on the same lines.. not sure what else I could say or suggest for it, since it's always changing. It's not TOO far out. I did this Info Center quite a long time ago, and on a new theme (one made Jan 9th) of PB's, the differences are:


In my post above, line 1271 is now 1284, and line 1279 is now 1292.
The only other thing I personally can think to do, is not find those lines, but instead add them both again at the bottom of the CSS, and let it override the previous ones.


What would you suggest? One of those, or something else?
Adding at the bottom to override sounds like the best bet for me. :)

(For reference, he wants this code converted - forum.sz-ex.com/thread/1631/second-admin-editable-signature)

- I'll see what I can do. :) This shouldn't be hard to convert. It'll even be a real admin editable code now, because of plugins.
