View New Posts option in Mint is actually a great feature that dark mode doesn’t seem to have.

thread subs with new posts is also in the user CP, but its down the screen further in simplicity.

[Neowise]

I might try a light theme too.  One downside of white text on dark background, but black text in white background typing area is that then you paste from the former to the latter white on white doesn’t show.

I see two possible fixes to this.
1) pure brilliant white box should be off white really, just a little. this is something we will likely do.
2) there is a little setting at bottom of options in cp, put the editor in source mode by defaut.  you can try this without any change to the site.

Really liking the mint, thanks guys. Just had a quick look around, haven't come across any issues yet, but I see you've already fixed a couple of things before I got here. As regards it appearing zoomed in, not seeing that, but I have a large monitor so maybe that makes a difference.

Cool, didn’t know that. That’s useful.

On the desktop mint version, the home page shows the list of forums with an icon indicating if there have been new posts in it. On the phone it simply shows the number of threads and number of posts. Apart from it not looking great with one over the other like a fraction, it's not as useful as the desktop icon. Any way to change it so they match?

Can someone direct me to keyboard short cuts for emojis that work here?
Like and but is  sometimes, hahaha
I'm sure what to google it terms of what framework we are in (uneducated IT person knowing enough to know that that there must be a way to find a list but not knowing enough to know what to search )

And I do this and the :p emoji works... I just dunno...

If you click on [get more] beside the smilies it will show you the shortcuts.

Don't know if much can be done with this, but I'll ask anyway. On mint there's a separator between the post text and sigs, but it's almost invisible. This has the effect of making every one of Spears' posts, for example, look like they end with "Can you break that down slooooooowly please". Any chance that line can be made darker?

will have a look now....

[Neowise]

well? hows that now?

[Zaph]

That's great, thanks very much.  Hugely impressed with how quickly you guys deal with requests or suggestions.

The visible content seems to have shrunk and I can (and keep accidentally) scroll over to the right.

An advantage is I can see more buttons when posting, but it looks weird.

I don't believe anything has changed this side.

maybe....

assuming android here, you will have to let us know otherwise.



How do I zoom my screen on Android?
To zoom, quickly tap the screen 3 times with one finger. Drag 2 or more fingers to scroll. Pinch 2 or more fingers together or apart to adjust zoom. To zoom temporarily, quickly tap the screen 3 times and hold down your finger on the third tap.

How do I increase the browser size on my phone?
On the settings screen, press the "Accessibility" button. Here, you will see a "Text Scaling" slider. With this slider, you can increase or decrease the text size that Google Chrome displays. Below are two pictures with the scale set to the maximum and the minimum.

Change display size
Open your device's settings app .
Tap Accessibility Display size.
Use the slider to choose your display size.

Yep, on Android. Zooming in doesn't help because the screen isn't static so I still scroll right with the slightest touch.

The 'Forums of Games' bannee beside the image on the home page is off to the right of the screen. I didn't notice that before, is it new/bigger?

ah, yes.

before it was just a logo, now it has words on it. maybe try horizonal view to check it out, its looks very nice.

[Leg End Reject]

It does look nice but it makes the site harder to use on mobile because it goes off the screen and has made everything else narrower.

There's now a lot of empty space to the right of the screen and even if I zoom out an accidental touch sends me over to the right and blocks the content on the left.

[Neowise]

You must have a very narrow screen, The site is very usable down to a screen width of about 375 pixels.
maybe if you were to tell me what width your screen is I could look into a fix for the issue.

I had to Google that, 1440 pixels apparently.

well that is very very odd.

thats wider than an ipad pro, and with that width you should be having zero issues.

if you don't mind, maybe if you let me know model i can look it up, as i find 1440 very hard to figure.
iphone X 375
pixel 2 411
galaxy s5 360
nexus 7 600

I might have misread, it's a Samsung S9.

[Neowise]

okay, so samsung galaxy s9 viewport is 360x740 which is just 15 pixels under comfortable. I can ask our artist what they feel about reducing it another few pixels, but i can imagine their response. but no harm in asking.

I'll also look into seeing if i can find a way of it ignoring the right side to the logo and allow it to be chopped without making screen wider.

just so we are on same page, does your screen look like this...

[tusk]

I can lop off 15px no prob. leave it with me.

[Leg End Reject]

This is what I see.

Have a try again there.

I've update the logo for both themes

Try clearing your cache. Could be that your still loading an old image from a local file

Yep, that's better, thank you. The banner is still going off to the right but there is much less space there so the accidental scrolling isn't an issue.

Jesus man that resolution looks like it's from the 1920s

Don't forget to drop by site feedback and let us know how the site could be doing better, its been very quiet in there recently.
We have only 1 [todo] and thats a spoiler button to insert [spoiler] tags.

Lack of posts here is really just a testament to how great the site is. It all runs smashingly, tbh. But speaking of spoilers, if we could get so you can spoiler bits of a sentence, rather than the spoiler going on to the next line, that would be pretty nifty.

[nothing]

Yeah, sorry guys, but everything is working great! Oh... Wait, hang on, there was one little thing, on mobile, polls are a bit janky! I'll screenshot...

[nothing]

Also, the radio buttons overlap the options when a poll is up on mobile.

[E.N.]

Neo, as QB says, the fact it's quiet in here is a really good sign. But, as it looks like you want feedback!

Request
When you click "Mark This Forum Read" is it possible for the next landing to be the homepage? I only use it if I've finished with a forum, so my next port of call is always the homepage

Slight bug
The search page doesn't work in portrait on a mobile. To be honest, it's not bothered me here at all but I've noticed it much more on the werewolf site, which is the same format. It's awkward to filter by poster, and then select results to display by post rather than thread (in fact, can the default be changed to posts?)

Here's a screenshot...

For searching posts in WW we have actually installed an ISO function...

See the 'Find' button? Click it and it will Blow. Your. Mind.

Ha ha, that is a nice shortcut

I was thinking more if I want to search for "FFA" by "the obvious wolf*" and display by posts, it's tricky on mobile. No big deal though, just felt Neo wanted something to look at


*incidentally, who do you think that is? Just for fun, I won't tell

[E.N.]

...in portrait I can't get to the player selection, in landscape my keyboard obliterates the page...

[Trigger]

Change to floating keyboard

[quickbeam]

As a matter of interest, why does the Who's Online sometimes show search engines?  Yesterday I noticed Google there.  I was going to post it this morning but it wasn't there when I checked.  Now it shows Bing.
