Phaethon Phaethon's Discussions

Hey everyone!

We are working on transitioning the default view to infinite scroll for everyone (and everywhere!).

This does require a bit of testing live on the sites. We've chosen to start this test with the tag pages on Wallpaper Abyss. 

If you notice that your view is changing from paged to infinite scroll, this is why. You can always set a specific view to override this. 

Let us know if you have any input on infinite scroll vs pagination. We tend to think it's nicer for users overall, but had dumb roadblocks to implementing it in the past (mostly advertiser related). Those appear to be gone!

 Katsuki Bakugou,

Server is up - what browser are you using, and how far do you get into the login process? Things all look to be working on my end. Feel free to mesage me on Discord too!

Posted In: Author Rules

Our author system is to showcase individual artists.

Please only enter an author name if you know that a specific indivdual made the image. Otherwise, just leave the field blank.

Please don't add the following as author:

  • idk, n/a, or other ways of saying you don't know who the author is
  • Production companies. e.g. ABC, Netflix
  • Copyright owners. e.g. Nintendo, Sony, Disney

 

Guidelines for marking yourself as the author:

Please do not mark yourself as the author if you only:

  • Took a screenshot from an anime, tv show, or movie
  • Cropped, rotated, or changed hue/brightness/satuation of an image
  • Upscaled the image

The above cases do not qualify for our author system. Even if you did all of the 3 above things, combined, they do not qualify for our author system. Please don't mark yourself as being the author unless your contribution to an image is completely original and more transformative than the things highlighted above.

I've updated the tag rules with a small example.🙂

What are captions? Captions are a description of an image. Either going for accuracy, or even being funny (but relevant)!

Caption rules: https://communities.alphacoders.com/topics/view/6765

Over $60 in raffle prizes!!

Scoring page: https://alphacoders.com/contest/score/92

If you aren't sure about what decent captions look like, always feel free to visit the recent captions on Wallpaper Abyss ( https://wall.alphacoders.com/captions.php ), or ask one of the mod team.

I wish everyone the best!

Thanks for the great submissions😃

Hey Marco!

We do have a simplified view for seeing more thumbnails on the same page at the same time. IMO simplified view + arrow keys can be nicer than trying to scroll through an infinite scroll page regardless of thumb size. Of course you can have a different opininion😃

Most of the time users are using the site to see if they would like to use an image as a wallpaper; the idea behind the larger thumbs is to do that job better; and that's the direction our main thumbnail presentation needs to follow.

Thank you for your input!

Hello everyone!

Today we have pushed an update that increased the size of the default thumbnails on Wallpaper Abyss.

The thumb width has been increased from 350 to 600 pixels. As screens get larger, as wallpapers get larger, so too do our thumbnails🙂

Hello everyone!

We have recently updated our add info page for non-trusted users, and I have now updated the tutorial to reflect the changes. Let me know if you have questions.

Suykeru,

What size image are you submitting, and to what part of Alpha Coders are you trying to submit it to?

Thanks for the email and the screenshot. I've replied to the email. There are a few things I can possibly try, but I have to look into them more. I'll keep following up in the email thread.

mega-observer,

If nothing at all is happening - not even a blank box is popping up, it's possible one of your addons is still blocking things.

I actually primarily test the game in Firefox (even though I should test in Chrome more), and I can't currently replicate the behavior you're experiencing.

A couple of options:
1. You can open your console on Firefox and see if it's outputting some error related to equipment (ctrl + shift + i). It's an alpha build so there will be other stuff in the console too.
2. Try another browser to see if the results are the same
3. Either send me a screenshot (spaceabyss@alphacoders.com), or reply here with your body type, and full list of inventory and I can try to directly duplicate that.

Sorry you're having trouble!

Hello mega-observer,

When you do left click on the equipment item, what shows up?

I believe there could be a bug where sometimes it takes a second left click to get the option to pop up (I've seen this behavior a little in playtesting, but haven't yet been able to reliably replicate it)
