What's new

Forum was upgraded tonight!

To add to your list I have two requests, somewhat related:

Can we make this into a game where you slide the tiles around in the box to make words?

Also do you think it is possible to get more vowels to join the forum?

I love how you think.

I seem to have lost my freakishly addictive “what’s new” refresh button that used to be on the top nav bar.

Also, not pictured, but I too do not see the text for the title of the first thread in the list. Used to only happen with the light theme, but since the forum upgrade, it’s happening with both themes. More specifically, it started happening yesterday.

It's back, yeah?
 
The disappearing title issue seems to be randomly coming back on either theme. When I close the browser tab and load vi control again, the first title shows. When I click into a thread and then go back out again to the thread list, the first title disappears again. Weird.
I just increased the cache clearing frequency to try and see if it does anything. If you could report at the end of the day or tomorrow if this issue came back or not, I'd appreciate. :)
 
How do you make these changes, is it Javascript, Python or something else?
It’s rather cool you can customize things / add improvements.
The new way to use quote is nice etc.

It depends on the feature to be modified. Some are options selectors, but a lot of them are done via code modifications. The forum software is developed by brainies! Glad you like the results. :)
 
You can make the Watched Threads page a bit simpler if you want btw.

At the top there’s a button labelled “Manage watched threads”. This is for handling all watched threads at the same time, and clicking on it opens a menu with two options: “Disable email notification” and “Stop watching threads”.

But what if this button was removed completely, and the line at the bottom was moved up there instead of being placed down below?

I mean this line: Select all checkbox, With selected drop down button, Go button.

If this line was placed at the top, you’d have the same functionality as with the “Manage watched threads” drop down button as mentioned. So same functionality, but with a simpler GUI / fewer GUI elements. And it would be just as quick to use as using the “Manage watched threads” button, don’t you think?

Edit:
It would be 3 clicks instead of just 2 today. But how often does one want to address all ones watched threads at the same time? I rarely do that at least. So 1 more click to address all watched threads at the same time in return for a GUI that is a little simpler.

Not a bad idea, let me process this with the themes developers to see what is possible.

Could you please allow users to use the XenForo factory default theme? (or the one I suggested you people to use before, just that these don't have to be the default settings but user-selectable.)

The Uniform Light / Dark mode looks really not that comfortable.

Or you can create sub-themes of these two Uniform themes with Helvetica Neue enabled for all font settings instead:

CSS:
@media (min-width: 651px) {.message-cell.message-cell--user {background: #f6f6f6 !important;border-right: 1px solid #d9d9d9 !important;;}}
.message-body {font-family: Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;}
html {font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica Neue, sans-serif}

Hi,

Thank you for the offer, and suggestions. However we are going to be staying with the brand we have and know right now.

All the best,

Andre
 
Hi, first of all thanks for all this hard work.

I´ve noticed that the latest post at the bottom in mobile was replaced by what´s new, which has a different behaviour (I think) can we get an option to have the latest post back as a button down there?

Then could you please ditch the Verdana font for messages?
Helvetica Neue looks far more better. Verdana shows the small case "i" like an "l":

Also, the weight of the regular fonts will look better if being set as 400 in lieu of 300.
 
Hey creativeforge, I still have the issue on mobile. I’ve restarted my phone, refreshed the page, toggled between themes. Still have the issue. What I see is that the the first thread title in the list actually loads fine for a tiny split second and then as soon as the full page finishes loading, the title for the first thread disappears.
I've moved the Alert Bell where it used to be.
Still the same! Should it, or did you do something?
Check now?

OK, so I tested this.

Here is Verdana, at 300, normal text.

1- Verdana is clearer to read, not compressed.
2- The small case "i" does not look like an "I".
3- Increasing the weight to 400 is not making a positive difference.

So, I don't know where you tested this to find it better?

The choice for Verdana was made after testing a number of fonts for clarity for everyone, including people with affected vision. So for now we will not make a change as it has no visible advantage.

Hope this helps, sorry if this is inconvenient for you.

Regards,

Andre

It's OK, he has a right to suggest, maybe it would have been positive, but nope. Not sure what screen he uses either if it's desktop or mobile, could make a difference for him.

It was not the craziest request I received. ;)
