Tiny Little Questions

[purplehaze]

I just bred one of my Celestial dragons. It produced 3 eggs. I picked the one I wanted, but instead of having to enter password to accept, it skipped that page and went right to "Keep

 

You decide to keep this egg and abandon the 2 other eggs produced from the same parents.

Back to actions"

 

It was not always this way, was t? I did pick the one I wanted, but what if I had clicked the wrong one by mistake? I'd have lost the egg I have been trying to get for the last 4 breedings.

The same thing happened to me today and I'm sure the last time I bred them I had to use my password before it abandoned the eggs I didn't select. If this is an intended change I really don't like it much.

[Terces]

I've experienced that as well while breeding Celestials recently.

[Predat0rs]

I noticed the change on Jan 26th (I posted about it in Congrats), but it could have been earlier than that.

Just noticed that in Multi-Clutches you no longer have to enter "KEEP"/your password, you just click on an egg now. That's convenient and cool.

I don't think that's convenient nor cool...If you breed a clutch over the phone you can't see the codes ~ neither choose the best one out of the bunch on the page it shows the breed dragons

If that step really was intentionally removed Valentine will be a mess ~ can't breed before accessing PC

Does press+hold work to show the codes? (It does for my tablet.)

I'd prefer the old way, too. In fact, I didn't care when I bred celestials the other day as none produced the right breed - but I was hovering to see the code in case I had a Z, and found I'd "chosen one to keep" - which I hadn't; luckily I'd just "chosen" one to abandon !

[Predat0rs]

I think it is. Key word is "I". Personal opinion of course. Heck, I wish all of the actions didn't require password/actionword verification; or at the very least they had a way to make them less of a hassle. Turning off autocomplete made the process even more annoying. I have only once accidentally did something I didn't mean to in 9 years of playing. I'm rather careful.

 

I don't use DC on mobile. I loathe DC's mobile site - for various reasons. One solution maybe is to just go to the Progeny of the dragons you bred and look at the codes...? Eh, I don't know how to help. Again, the mobile site isn't in my interest and I don't use it often enough to give proper advice.

[Fuzzbucket]

I'm careful too. But as I hadn't known about this change, I was caught out. I don't mind the mobile site (I use a tablet when being mobile, anyway) but I much prefer my PC and that was where it happened.

 

If you want less of a hassle, one thing (which I do do) is to turn off JavaScript; then it enters whatever all by itself.

[FoxintheBox4]

Why did the autocomplete got turned off in the first place? That truly is frustrating I hate it too

 

So the solution to get around this is to turn off Javascript? Good to know so I don't need to copy paste ABANDON all the time when AP hunting

REALLY? It does? Thanks, I think I'll do that from now on. What part of DC uses Javascript? I think I'll just leave it off if it doesn't effect too much stuff.

 

I know Chrome has an "autocomplete on" extension that forces it to work. I stopped using it when I realized that it may be considered against the rules.

[Xythus]

In the past it has been Midnight on the 8th.

 

To quote last year's thread:

 

Same thing in 2015:

Thanks!

[Predat0rs]

^ No problem. ^^

 

Another question, which is more forum related than DC related. Why does the "" smiley and the "" have their image-type and HTML displayed in previewing your posts?

[Ruby Eyes]

I suspect it's the .png (instead of .gif) and yet another forum bug.

[Confused Cat]

Yes, I'd hate to get a special code in one of those once-a-year breedings and then accidentally pick the wrong one to keep.

 

Since abandoning an egg requires a confirmation (which I think is a good thing), and picking one of a multiclutch instantly and irrevocably abandons the others, I think it should also require a confirmation.

 

Should we make an extra thread to ask if this is an intentional change or a glitch?

(Or a thread in Suggestions to change it back?)

[Predat0rs]

^ I guess I could see where it would be a good idea to have a confirmation of some sort. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Fuzzbucket]

Alt custom sort needs it, and fertility. I don't KNOW of anything else.

[Fuzzbucket]

When did it start saying "Dead Adult" by tombstones (see the last page of my scroll.)

 

[maylin]

I think it must be a very new change to maybe fix where it was saying adults where frozen

[Fuzzbucket]

Adult zombies still DO show as frozen, though.

[maylin]

Welp! My guess was wrong then

Question: I need to delete a buttload of posts. Ones I have made in the Z Project. Is there a simple way to purge all of them or must I actually do them one-by-one? I think I have at least 500 posts in there that are no longer relevant.

 

If anyone is wondering - I'm re-adding my Z dragons via a different method than the thread, and I need to delete the posts with my Z dragons so they aren't counted twice.

One by one, I think, unless a handy mod can assist you.

I'm confused why you need to delete the posts, still. Maybe just have a column in your spreadsheet that notes if they are listed in the thread previously?

 

But to answer the question, as Lagie said, yup. Just one by one.

Coyote appreciates a clean thread, and we can also submit at Lairs & Layers and at a spreadsheet.

I deleted a bunch of my Z Project posts when I added my dragons to the spreadsheet!

[Predat0rs]

What Lagie said. I want to just re-submit them via here. I have renamed almost all of the current dragons in that thread, and deleting the posts and re-submitting may be easier than editing each post to reflect the name changes. I'm trying to see what would be easiest for me. Either way, I'll have to take a day off to get it done. ;P
