Do you offer graphics hosting?
Kind of yes, kind of no. We do have member galleries in our forums where you can indeed hotlink images over to the archive. If you do that, though, please keep them under 2MB and -- I'm begging -- please don't hotlink them to another site.
Otherwise, you're welcome to use imgur, too! Just keep the size reasonable so you don't break the site's CSS.
What about automatic image resizing? How do I do that?
Actually, there's a CSS trick for that. So, go to your Dashboard and click on the Skins button on the side bar. Once that's open, click the button that says My Work Skins. Then, when you're on that tab, click the button Create Work Skin. Then copy and paste:
#workskin img {
max-width: 90%;
height: auto;
}
And save the skin!
I've also made my copy of it public, if you want to go with that, too.
So, there's this userscript for a floaty review box, but it only works on AO3. How can we make it work with Ad Astra, SquidgeWorld, superlove and the CFAArchive?
Actually, that's super easy! If you have Tampermonkey and the script installed, just change the top to say:
// ==UserScript==
// @name OTW-Archive Review + Last Chapter Shortcut + Kudos-sortable Bookmarks
// @namespace saxamaphone
// @version 2.5
// @description Update: stops floaty review box from appearing in certain listing pages, removes last chapter
// @author saxamaphone

// @match https://www.cfaarchive.org/*
// @match http://www.cfaarchive.org/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
And it'll work just like it does AO3! I've never tried it with the other script editors, but it definitely works fine on Tampermonkey with the above changed on Firefox and Chrome-based browsers.
I heard someone mention blogs. Can we talk about that?
In the past, we've offered Wordpress blogs to folks who want them. I'd love to offer them again! So, if you have an interest in that, please let me know and if we get enough people who want Trek fandom blogs, we'll go ahead with them.
How do we import from AO3, SquidgeWorld Archive or superlove?
Walter over at SquidgeWorld came up with the solution to that! Just append this string behind the URL of the import:
?tos=yes&view_adult=true
The only caveat is that you can't have your works locked to the archive only.
How about a template for posting headers like Ad Astra has to Dreamwidth or LiveJournal?
Thanks to our own Merfilly, here's a bit of code you can use to do just that!
