The filter SV currently has on is unbearable. My eyes hurt. I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but how do I change that?
I think it is only working on the default theme and maybe the other basic themes didn't even notice anything while on the starscape theme. You can change your theme under preferences.
 
There's a weird green/purple filter on everything that's making my eyes hurt and I'm on Starscape. It hurts the eyes. I switched to Sunlight and now I don't see the Purple, but I still see the green on the avatars and stuff. It's better, but then again I'm on goddamn Sunlight. What is this.
 
Then whatever's happening to me is only happening on this site, because I'm certainly not seeing everything in purple and green elsewhere.
 
For me the background is black and the writings in the posts are white while those for the site are blue, as usual.
 
There should have been a little pop-up notice in the bottom right of the website. If you exited it by clicking the cross it cancels the effects. If you want to have it and don't, go to preferences and restore dismissed notices. If you have it, don't have the popup and don't want it, open SV in a new tab and the effects should clear.

EDIT:
So there's no misunderstandings, opening SV in a new tab will have a clean version in the new tab. It will not clear the old tab of the effects.
 
I'm pretty sure this isn't normal:
Actually, the red is weird because I see it as purple, but screenshotting it makes it look red?
 
Nope. I can't turn it off. I tried doing the whole restoring pop ups and I can't bring up the specific one. This is by far the worst April Fools joke I've ever been a part of. I'll come back when this is over.
 
@Boney, I've got a few questions.

1. On what year does Eike become old enough she can become our apprentice?
2. Is there a book subject that helps train apprentices like Pedagogy? Or would the relevant books instead be what we teach like Ulgu and Linguistics?
3. Does our Ranald shrine in Karak Eight Peaks also count as a Shallya shrine?
4. Do the dwarves have any trainers for quarterstaff combat?
 
@Boney,

I feel like the old world ( and the empire) would be somewhere between Quintilian's 'Institutio Oratoria' and Jean Gerson's 'De parvulis ad Christum trahendis' ideas, but without the heavy Christan beliefs of Tertullian, St Jeromes and their peers. but still miles away from Dewey

So high responsibility on the teacher (its your job that they learn something, not they failed to learn.),

The belief that knowledge isn't inherent, but learned through teaching from someone older.

That learning is Gradual: you can't truly understand a topic until you understood a more 'fundamental' topic. E.g, you cant master debate until you got your grammar down, or music until basic math etc etc. and actually trying can stunt your growth or at least mess up your learning. (what, exactally, makes one topic 'fundamental' and 'advance' is up in the air.)

Positive reinforcement is well known to be a good way to do things as well. But is only recently flirting with the idea that fear of pain (of the ruler to the knuckles kind) and shame aren't productive and legit methods. and most thinking that a good mix of the two is best.

I have a passing interest in the topic. if it's not obvious.

It's not based on her age, it's based on the development of her ability to wield Ulgu and to keep from wielding other Winds. If she's an average student, she should be graduating from Junior Apprentice around turn 40.

2. Is there a book subject that helps train apprentices like Pedagogy? Or would the relevant books instead be what we teach like Ulgu and Linguistics?

Education as a field of study is rather in its infancy in this time period, so the books in question that would be of use would be those on the subject itself.

3. Does our Ranald shrine in Karak Eight Peaks also count as a Shallya shrine?

You'd have to get a Shallyan in to find out.

4. Do the dwarves have any trainers for quarterstaff combat?

No. Dwarves don't see the point of having all that leverage and not putting a weight on one end and turning into a good reliable hammer.
