Post ideas/feedback about new forums here

Which browser is that Skjalg? Can't seem to replicate it in Chrome, Firefox, or IE9.

[Skjalg]

Chrome version 22.0.1229.92 m

Strange, exactly the same as mine — this is at the top of forums, right? Is there anything else going on you can think of that might be affecting this, such as using a higher font size or zoom than normal? Any other Chrome people seeing the same thing (most of us use Chrome according to the stats, lol).

Haha yeah I was at zoom level 90%.

Weird.

So is there really no way for zooming in posted pictures while on mobile? You can't pinch zoom or double click to open in a new window, right?

Haelp.

On iOs fyi.

[Thrik]

It looks like you can't right now egu, although if you hold down your finger on the image you can copy it into your address bar. Definitely an oversight though, so I'll make it so clicking takes you to the big version.

BTW I've had to be out of town for a couple if days and the Internet absolutely sucks here, so I'll be implementing various changes during the coming week based on feedback, etc.

hah, I'm just now noticing the new website icon. neato

That's a really nice update.

I kinda think it's a bit harder to distinguish between posts now. Is there a way to make every other post a slightly different colour (like a blue colour), to further distinguish between posts? I think I've seen that on some forums before.

Either that or just some sort of outline to keep the posts separate? I think the League of Legends forums does it well: http://euw.leagueofl...ad.php?t=867474

My only complain join the one from PogoP : different colors between each post.

If one day you have the time : a black theme. The white is really killing my eyes ! x]

[Skjalg]

I have to agree on a darker theme. Going from http://studiostyl.es/schemes/blorange-blue-and-orange to this forum is almost blinding.

That reminds me, I have to install f.lux on this pc.

[selmitto]

Yea, I prefer dark themes too. One of the things I like in Polycount is their dark theme, but we don't need to do exactly like that...

EDIT:

Also, I noticed that all links from the previous forum are now broken. Is there a way to fix that? I might have lots of links in my browser favorites (like the References thread) that can't open anymore.

There is a vague possibility there's a way to get the old links to redirect through, but I'll have to look into it. It is an unfortunate side-effect of conversion, one of many that I've been working on fixing behind the scenes (certain characters getting screwed up, tags not being the same between the forums, etc), which is why more visible but arguably low-priority stuff like the skin hasn't been done yet.

I can definitely hear the desire for a darker theme. Once I've made the adjustments to the current theme this week, I'll put up a poll about some further changes to help gauge interest and/or prioritise updates.

On my iphone there doesn't seem to be the option to go to the last page of a thread, you click on any thread and it takes you to the first page with the only options being 'previous' and 'next'. Could take a while to get to the end of the some of the threads that are hundreds of pages long Also Whilst clicking through pages I get a big black bar on the screen saying 'Loading' that follows me around and won't go away

[Thrik]

Yeah I've noticed those two bugs while iPhone browsing myself, I think I'll add an extra « and » button for going to the first/last pages and just get rid of the loading box altogether.

So, I'm browsing the forum since a few days now and I'm having a lot of trouble to follow the new posts. Especially is the very big thread.

When I click on a thread with the icon of the left of the title I can read it should show me the new posts that I don't have read yet. However, it sends me to the first page. Every thread from the "EOT" section act like that for example.
