The tools/options tab of the Farm page.

Tools

  • Display: Allows the user to change the default width and change how they want images to be displayed -- interpolated or pixelated.
  • Notifications: Allows the user to change whether or not they want desktop and/or sound notifications. Users can also define custom notifications to alert them at a specified time.

  • Userscripts: Allows the user to change whether or not they want to enable certain approved scripts.
  • Others: Allows the user to create/change a site skin, change or adjust their username, Setup Two-factor Authentication (2FA), and Enable Debug Mode. This section also explains how a user can change their Password.

Display

  • Default site width: This option lets the user change the default site width. It varies from 320px (1 block) to full width. They may also temporarily change the site width with Alt+1 to Alt+5.
  • Image Rendering: Allows the user to change how to display images. "Pixelated" is best for viewing sharp pixels around the site but may have issues when zooming or on mobile. Not all browsers support this, unfortunately.

Notifications

Notifications and sound
  • Play sound on new notification: Allows the user to set whether or not they want a sound to play when there is a new notification.
  • Adjust volume: Allows to user to play back the notification sound to make sure it is not too loud.
  • Enable desktop notifications: Allows the user to set up a desktop popup in the bottom right corner of their screen when they receive a notification. This feature is not supported by certain browsers and the mobile version of the site.
  • Custom Notifications: Allows the user to set up a custom notification to alert them.
  • Pending alerts: Shows the user any custom alerts that they set and allows them to delete the alerts.

Bookmarks

  • Quick Add: Allows the user to easily select bookmarks from either Nearby Places or Other Links.
  • Free-form Edit: Allows the user to create their own bookmark on the Bookmarks Bar.

Timers Bar

Allows a user to customise the Timers Bar in any order by dragging the up/down arrow to the right of them. However, the order is saved in the user's browser and not on the server and they user may only sort what they can see.

  • Hide below this line: Allows the user to hide Timer Bars up at top. The bar will still be visible in the Timers Bar customisation page.
  • Forget below this line: Allows the user to hide Timer Bars completely. The bar will not be visible even in the Timers Bar customisation page unless the user clicks Clear Order.
  • Save Order/Clear Order buttons: Save Order saves the order of the Timers Bar while Clear Order resets the Timers Bar back to default.

Forum

  • Avatar: Allows the user to change their profile picture. They must input the direct URL of the image. The user must have created the image themselves, or have permission to use the image as their profile picture.
  • Edit Forum Signature: Allows the user is able to edit how their forum signature looks. The signature can include CSS, gifs, etc. All images used must be credited properly and have proper permission to be used. The maximum height is 250px while the maximum width is 600px.
Note: The width may vary depending on the screen size.


Userscripts

  • Enable a script: Allows the user to toggle on or off approved Userscripts that have been integrated into the core site.
    • Block Users: Allows the user to "block users" via an option on profile pages.
    • QoL: These are a variety of quality-of-life tweaks and adjustments. A full explanation of what all this script features can be found here. If users find any problems while using the QoL they should go to the QoL Thread to report them. PFQ staff does not maintain the QoL Userscript.
Note: Userscripts have no access to the server's storage, so any settings or features they provide are specific to your device and browser. If you play on multiple devices, you will need to configure them separately on there. Additionally, they may not be compatible with older browsers, so please ensure you are up to date!


Others

  • Change Password: This tells the user the process of getting their password changed by logging out, selecting "Forgot you Password?" and then following the instructions.
