Welcome to Canis Major

a wolf and animal rpg (role-playing game)

Canis is a writing community for play-by-post (forum-based), freeform roleplay set in a fictional dream world in the intrusion fantasy genre. Most characters on Canis are wolves; many play elements are focused around wolves and canids, but the world makes room for a large variety of other animal characters such as dogs, horses, cats, bears, deer, and many, many more.

Our community is focused on flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. That boils down to a few important features:

  • There is no set activity requirement to write
  • The setting and plot are member-created and staff-supported
  • The game is continuously improved to increase fun and decrease stress

MyCode: Post Formatting options in Edit Profile

Description of MyCode Request

hiya! just some lil QOL features that while small can rlly make the difference i realize (in my opinion). coming from someone who looks for mobile compatibility for sites as i cant always be at my computer but i get a burst of muse that i want to take advantage of.

this would be simple things like default font options, post margin size or width, and text alignment. they'd apply automatically when the user posts or previews their post. from cracking open sites through f12 and inspecting elements, i noticed that some have it set as a div enveloping the user post that has an inline style that gets populated with the user options. now how exactly to get that info on there, i don't know 1_face_sob but im sure you guys will figure it out!!

a more niche addition/less necessary feature: colorable quotes being a customization option much like those i listed above from the profile would also be awesome, though i imagine more complicated to implement. but seeing that it risks the readability of the site for some users, i think there should be options for light and dark modes (or make sure its close to the accent colors on the profiles where they're expected to be compatible on both light and dark mode) AND make it an option that can be completely disabled based on the user's preferences much like the "disable small text" and "disable justified" are.

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not one of the code monkeys, but just to clarify, do you mean like a saveable template that imports your post formatting for each post without having to type it each time? If so that and the quote color are something we have on our list for QOL improvements! As a side note, the color thing isn't as big a deal as it sounds. We have a script running to check the contrast between colors and the site, then automatically alter the hex code to be readable (this applies between light and dark modes as well).

It's no worries! The ideas are much appreciated we just have one main code dev unfortunately, and she's pretty busy most of the time, but the stuff she pumps out spoils us like mad. So. Worth the wait haha

As for the code template, I think the idea is that it would apply after pressing post, but again, I'm not the coder so I don't know the full workings on that plan

Note: Right now this affects OOC spaces as well, but we are working to disable post formats in OOC spaces.
