Pendraken Plans for 2021!

[Leon]

The technical upgrades will certainly be welcome - and if you need some test input, give me a shout.

Will do, it's one of the Shopify style sites so there's a lot more features available to us.  We'll get it up and running and fully tested before we consider swapping over to it full-time.

I'll lay low odds on it being buggy after it goes live, nothing ever works  One thing - can we have a menu button set at the bottom of the page as well as the top, in a pic heavy post I get a blister scrolling to the top. It would be like the SOTCW forum.

If you press the "Home" button on your keyboard it'll automatically go to the top of the page (and "End" will go to the end of the page).

Or if you're using a touchscreen device just "flick" (i.e. quick flicking drag action) the screen and it'll scroll super fast.

Some interesting things in there for this year.

SOMETIMES pressing Home will take you to the top of the page. Far from universal in my experience.

Also, touchscreens are the work of the devil

No expansion for the French Revolution therefore? 😩

I find it works most of the time, especially these days when there's less weird embedded webpages inside other web pages going on.

There is a go up button at the bottom of posts as well, but keyboard ones work from anywhere.

Afraid not, I think I've mentioned previously a French Revolution revamp would have to be part of our general Naps expansion plans, so we'd want to get the Peninsular out of the way first.  I think there's a lot of clamour for Russians to be done after that, but we could potentially look at the Revolution once those are done?

I see - like me can just about manage punch cards but prefer paper tape !

Seriuos point the human body carrys an electric change and for a few people it's either too high and stops the screen work, or is too low and thewrefore the screen don't pick em up. Cure for the first is earthing yourself - the second has no cure I know of, you  could try plugging into the mains.

Great stuff looking forward to lots of these projects coming through 

I also just noticed from the head of the thread that my stuff survived to reach you intact!

, you  could try plugging into the mains. 

One of our mangers poor bloke, did just that a few Christmases ago. went into the office on Boxing day and wired a plug up with some twin and earth, connected the bare neutral wire to one am and the live to the other . Then flicked the switch. His wife got concerned after he had been gone a while  and called a colleague and they both went to the office. Fortunately the colleague suggested the wife stay in the car.  Never did find out what made him do it.

Any news on the Samurai castle?

Any news on the Samurai castle?

I've deliberately left those off until we've got the Peninsular buildings all sorted out and I can start scheduling things with John at Ironclad.  He's still catching up after his heart attack so we'll hang on until he's sorted.
