slav888 Posted 22, March 2019 Report Share Posted 22, March 2019 Hi gang, Not sure if theres already a post about this (i did look but couldn't see anything?) but just two things about the new site from me: - Can we please increase the font size across the board, maybe its the color scheme but everything looks smaller and is hard to read? - Can we make the difference between threads that have new/unread items and those that dont a little more obvious. The bold yellow text looks very similar to the unbolded version. Happy to discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, with the wild colours I need my shades when I visit the site!!!😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stromlo Posted 22, March 2019 Report Share Posted 22, March 2019 Is there any way to change it to white with black text as before. I find the current dark skin quite uncomfortable to view... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakist Posted 22, March 2019 Report Share Posted 22, March 2019 I like the dark theme, you should be able to have a light and a dark theme. When marking all threads as read it no longer refreshes the page. Have to mark it and hit the unread posts button again to make sure.

roblee8g Posted 22, March 2019 Report Share Posted 22, March 2019 The poster's profile/signature is not a fixed width. One with a lot of content (like mine) takes up the majority of the page width, leaving only a narrow band for the actual post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White text on black background is a no-no with respect to website accessibility, at least in my experience with website development some years ago........ Also, the background colour could be changed on the previous site, as stromlo asks, can it also be done on this site? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to the stuff under your username where your location, posts # etc is shown? That should be a fixed with (it is for me anyway, both mobile & PC) On 22/03/2019 at 7:31 PM, stromlo said: Is there any way to change it to white with black text as before. I find the current dark skin quite uncomfortable to view... The latest upgrade to 4.4.1 of IPS really stuffed us around with our skin. We've managed to make it work again but I've noticed there are still a few bugs. That being said, if you scroll to the very bottom of a page you should have a 'Theme' drop down where you can change themes. DO NOT use 'Front Default' or 'Deflection 4.3' as they're broken. The 'Default' theme is a light coloured theme but has little to no customisation on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblee8g Posted 24, March 2019 Report Share Posted 24, March 2019 Daniel, In your reply to my post, your profile took up 3/4 of the width of the page (on my PC). That wasn't the case prior to the skin update. The actual message was limited to 50 characters width. See screen dump attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May help as fault find. It is a weird one though as it's fine on all 3 browsers I have (Chrome, Firefox & Edge). Regardless, there is a new update available from IPS (4.4.2) that fixes the issue with the html code showing in the the profile, so that will help significantly.

Daniel, I'm using Explorer most of the time, but I can use Chrome as well, as it is the preferred browser for Uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulD Posted 25, March 2019 Report Share Posted 25, March 2019 Hi all, some work over the weekend should have resolved the issues of the formatting of the avatar and user info. I have requested form the IT support that the light default skin is updated with new logo etc so people can nominate the light theme if they prefer it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
