Emanuel Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 BTW, how long we'll have for editing posts today? PS: Never mind... I figured out myself now LOL This has an important impact on forum content anyway, but maybe your goal right? : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted September 29, 2020 Super Members Share Posted September 29, 2020 Can't see notifications or PM stuff on top right in Android (in either scheme) but they are there on the desktop version. Notification banners appear across the screen if you happen to be on the page when they happen or if you refresh the page. I'm on a black and white, valve driven Samsung running a version of Android that is so old it was written in hieroglyphics so it may not affect more modern appliances ?

Have tweaked the text so it's brighter. Cheers for the feedback, keep it coming I think for the forum that the text in each post should be the brightest element as it's the most important.

androidlad Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Can the background colour be a dark neutral gray instead of navy blue? It's still blue light and may be too much of a visual stimuli, defeating the purpose of a dark theme which is often used at night. Also can the forum width be a bit wider? I find 80% still leaves too much blank space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the main menu icon seems to have vanished on mobile browsers. I'm in touch with the IP Board support people to find out why. Sometimes it's as if they never test updates!

MrSMW Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 It looks good but it’s a real struggle outdoors in even moderately bright light. Any option to set light or dark, users preference, like *cough* DPreview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I wish this stayed unlocked for a bit longer (a whole 24hrs would be good). Is nicer to just add something to a post a few minutes later rather than create a whole new post. Also I wish the posts would auto merge like they used to do! For instance I posted this comment almost instantly after my previous one yet rather than merging these two together, it had them be two separate posts.

Anaconda_ Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Maybe a bit off topic, but if you're still tinkering with the forum, is there a way to open a topic to the last read post? If not, it's not exactly a major deal to scroll down from the top of the last page. hyalinejim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
