StuartRc Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hi Thanks for instigating the Forum Update....Looks Good! There are a couple of oddities: 1. The user link @{}name looks too light. (White on pale grey) 2. When you go to 'Who's online' the Main area is truncated so you cannot really read the threads (#ipsLayout_mainArea,) and display:table-cell toggle corrects it but obviously will affect something else!

Safari 11 is definitely "obsolete" by now. That's why I'm browsing the web with Firefox 78.9.0esr on El Capitan. I just thougt I'd mention it literally for the record.

TEcHNOpls Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 This is utter crap, so ugly, takes twice as much of screen estate forcing me to move up and down all the time. Also, if I open any page it will always shows the top of the thread, not the latest response, which I believe what was happening before (or maybe it's just that, I did had to scroll so much!). If there is no compact mode, please revert to the old layout, this is ugly :c (and counter-productive) Quote "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night, and I work all day..."

R C-R Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 In most forum page views, there is a lot of empty space on the right side of the browser window. This adds a lot of unnecessary scrolling when the page has a lot of content that otherwise would fit in the full page width. This seems to be different today than yesterday. Also, I see on the right in this "Create New Topic" window a section named "Moderator Options" with what appears to be a live "Hide Topic" after posting option. I assume that since I am not a moderator I should not see this.

R C-R Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 For example, this is what my default custom stream looks like on my iMac: It is very nearly the same if I click open the "Unread Content" view, so from what I can tell it has nothing to do with custom streams. When I decrease the width of the window the width of the empty space does not decrease proportionally. Only when I decrease the window width so much that the header stuff at the top is replaced by a 3 line 'burger' menu icon is the empty space removed.
