It’s a bit early to fully judge, but I’m not digging how the posts aren’t numbered. I relied on those even more than I thought I did. 

Everything is too thick.

Can you lighten the thread page numbers in dark mode?  Dark gray on black is tough to see.  

One thing I don’t like that may or may not be new, as I’ve used this update to change how I navigate:

when I’m on the Home Screen I have a list of unfiltered threads ordered by most recent post. 
 

but if I click on one of the forum shortcuts in the header, then click the home button, it will show threads filtered by the forum I had jumped to. Then I have to go in and unfilter the page. 
 

also when in a forum with subforums, like other sports, I didn’t see a way to enter the subforums.

Seriously, WTF is with this?

i want to change the default font size in posts (right now it looks like 10pt, would like to jump that) and change the default font color for night mode (to yellow)

also, the background with the rocks and the water..... kind of defeats the purpose of nightmode

You can click on the "customizer" icon and change the background to black (that made it much better for me).

i don't want to change the form factor on anything, only the font size within the default form factor 'zoom' setting

FOUND IT

also found setting for slightly larger font

now just need to change font from white to something else - don't know what yet

(black on yellow is best for the brain, have to research what is best font on black re: nightmode)

didn't the background image of bevo formerly stay in place as you scrolled down the page?

Will we be adding all this black to our football uniforms, too?

I don't have much of a problem with the new stuff, except it still bugs me how the background behind the board moves when scrolling. It's very distracting, kinda makes me seasick.

Yes. Please keep these items coming. I didn't get every little thing. I've made about 10-15 improvements on light theme and no avatars today.

It did not. The background being dark could make this not as good. Do we want it lighter? Like Texas gray?

i think with light theme go white or a lighter shade of gray

Did the thumbnail or whatever chrome grabs for a bookmark get changed or something? Hard to see but I think that's a surly t shirt logo or something but compressed down looks not clear. I think it was just a longhorn logo previously but not sure. this just looks funny suddenly.

 

edit: loving fluid mode so far btw. Tried dark mode for a minute but anything quoted from a non dark mode site ends up putting black text on dark background and can't read shit. Flipped back to regular mode after that, did zero investigation to see if it's fixable under settings or anything, not sure if that's fixable or just a symptom of dark mode.

Edited by cam4mav

I can’t see the rep button on the light theme*. It’s there, just white on white

 

*surly light uncolored theme. Not the new light theme. I would switch back to the surly light new theme if it had a solid grey background choice

Yes, we need to know how many posts the latest page on any thread is up to.  That determines if I will open it or not a lot of the time.

That's mostly related to a handful of posters that don't know how to paste in plain text. They just copy whole articles, ads & everything from their chosen news sites. 

How do you do this please and thank you?
I'm sure someone else will explain better, I'm in mobile now but can screenshot in a bit.

Basically at the top right of the forum listing there was three buttons for display options. The far right option. Hope that makes sense

Fluid mode forum selection question

After clicking into a thread from the fluid mode home page, where I've selected about 5 forums to follow, i'll then read to the bottom of the thread and hit the bottom "home" button in an attempt to go back to my main fluid view page with my previous forums selected to follow. 

But I get there and it's got a random forum selected. It's one on the ones selected previously in my 5.... I think?

Is there a default group of selections you can set, or a favorite, or is it memory based on cookies or something? Also would having multiple tabs open fuck with it at all?

 

Say you have Baseball, Football, Basketball, Other Sports, & Gambling selected as your 5. If you read the MLB thread in Baseball, then accidentally click Baseball again at the bottom of the page, it will override your 5 previous selections. Then Baseball will be your only check mark. 

So yes if you have multiple tabs open, clicking a Forum tab on any of them will fuck your shit up. 

I'm being very deliberate to hit home and not one of the forums. It's also not exactly replicating very consistently though.

For example I was just reading the Art Briles thread on football. Hit home. Only showed me Food & Travel. 

That was weird so I hit back on the browser. Hit home again. Same thing. 

Hit back on browser. Back in the Art Briles thread. Hit home again (still all the bottom left link). Now i'm on Football only. 

No other tabs open and had refreshed after closing the other tabs. Weird.

 

I don't think i'm going crazy and just user erroring the hell out of this. If anyone else see's something similar lmk haha

post numbers are back


On the larger threads it still says 1k, 2k, etc.  rather than the actual number of posts.

Phone yes PC no.  Phone still has 1.2k etc.  PC shows no post numbers at all as of 11:22.

thats weird as shit. I always just click the surlyhorns text at the top to go home and never have that issue. 

ill try that for a bit and see if I notice it any more. Not as convenient but at least it might help determine if either.....

A) Bottom left home button logic is borked

B) I'm just drunk and bad at websites

 

either way... progress.

You have a shield on your avatar, which I assume to mean moderator or admin. But some posters have a hand. What does that mean, and are there other symbols?

Hand means noobies. We can make other symbols I'm open to suggestions

All around the update looks clean and appears to function well. Thanks. 

 

Looks like edit function not available?

Also don't if related by some imgbb tags dont appear to be functioning...e.g.

[img]https://i.ibb.co/YZmzSdY/Screenshot-2020-12-15-085405.jpg[/img]

But if I post it shit way, appears to work...

I keep getting pages not loading using chrome(page not loading/http 500)Especially when I right click open in new tab. Tapa seems to have no problems loading content, but my browser isn’t working well.

How else am I going to procrastinate during work hours?
