<- Avatar picture transparency still seems hacked to show the darker blue, rather than actually being transparent, so every other other post looks wrong. (Same in the mini avatar in the top bar.)

You should probably take this to the avatar thread and let Infinitron deal with it.

Is there a "go to first unread message" button? Did we lose it?
At the top of the page there is that jump to new button if there are unread posts.

Can we shave some space off the forum column and give that to the minishoutbox/members/staff column in the main forum page?

Is it just me or is the new font really shit? Did you change the style or the size? Whatever it is, please go back to the old one, and I'll be mostly okay with the forum's current state.

It's literally the same font we had before:

.message-body {
font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;

Maybe hard-refresh the page? If you meant the previous "new" font, I didn't like that either at all; Tahoma is just fine.

Also what about the message that asks you to authorize notifications? Can this be turned off?

Notifications from websites are a total nuisance. Especially on the RPGCodex, I'm worried enabling them might mean receiving a bothersome notification every time someone gives you a butthurt or retarded emoticon. These are distracting and annoying enough as they stand.

Yet if you don't enable them, this prompt to do so seems to appear continuously.

There's an option to never show it again in that prompt.
The share one could probably be nuked altogether
Done.
mobile version needs intra-thread page navigation at the top of threads as well as bottom. Right now it’s just at the bottom.

edit: to be more specific, it’s the narrow mobile version. When in landscape mode the mobile version has page navigation on top as well bottom of threads.
I can't reproduce it by adjusting page width. See:
1655359942200.png

The "jump to new" button could use being copied to the bottom of the navigation though.

Done. Apparently the breakage was caused by stock CSS. The avatar files are unharmed.

Also adjusted margin above and below the quotes, due to enablement of nested quotes. Lady Error tell me if it's too small again.

Avatar selection is still missing.

Small niggle: it's kindda hard to see what notifications you have opened and which you haven't

Oldex's notification behaviour was better. The list would discard current notifications after a while if you opened the list. Now, as is typical for Xenforo 2.0, it still shows ancient notifications with the new.

There's been some solid improvements in the last few day, but still a bit to go.

Random nitpick: I'd still like if that ugly border around reactions is removed.

Also, change the "Brofist" text back to "Rate"?

How about getting rid of
button.png
as a button and replacing the brofist with it? It's about as useless as the donut but it could still serve a purpose, especially if double-clicking on the button didn't automatically rate the post with its icon, currently the brofist. Maybe Zizka could make a cleaner version of that, if needs be.

I'm pretty sure it's the size then, in which case we should revert immediately.

Users without avatars are now getting colored boxes containing the first letter of their username, instead of the default codex troll from before. Not sure if it's intentional, but looks pretty ugly.

Use the small font fluid theme if you really want the smaller font back.

It's default Xenforo 2.0 behaviour. The default troll along with the "special on-demand"versions just need to be re-implemented. The avatar background should also be made transparent, if possible. It looks bad when an opaque square avatar matches the height or width of the field, but not both.

Lots of progress in the last days, thanks everyone for the good work.

I am a bit confused about the ratings, though. I though I had seen them with text yesterday but now they are back to the symbols only. Is this a bug or was the change deliberately rolled back? Also, is there some way to make the button bar a bit bigger? It seems pretty squashed right now.

Page numbers, or at least, last page number of a thread should be displayed in mobile forum view. So you know how big the threads are. It's surprising how often I know what the last page number of a thread I read was and knowing that X' thousand more pages have been added is useful.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Want to see a little trick?

CSS:
    section.message-user {
      display: flex;
      flex-flow: column;
    }
    div.message-avatar {
      order: 2;
      margin-top: 8px;
    }
    div.message-userDetails {
      order: 1;
    }
    div.message-userExtras {
      order: 3;
    }
    span.message-avatar-online {
      display: none;
    }

Done. Apparently the template editor caches the form contents and I inadvertedly lost some changes. Hopefully nothing else was lost.

Just use the small font theme FFS.

More stuff.
  • Links on user profile pages are now underlined.
  • Username mentions are now bolded and un-underlined (forum and profiles).
  • The share button is now properly removed with no empty space.

Should there be a "@" included before tagged usernames, Shitter-style? Right now it's <b>User</b>, it can be <b>@User</b>.
