HFBoards Software Update

[Lilhoody]

In user preferences, I believe "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply..." is enabled by default, so you'd see a pair of reading glasses in the same spot that you'd see sticky pins or locks. That's the best workaround there is at the moment. You'd then be able to use Watched Threads in the top tab links to see which threads have unread posts and then jump to whatever you want to read next.

Cool, it wasn't checked by default, nor did activation retro any threads, but does work now, on new posts.

So, I didn't update the style or anything, but it is now alternating between gray and white backgrounds for posts. It used to look like this:

Now it looks like this, with me having done apparently nothing (except for going down to the Valley today and not checking the site from the computer at all; I did check the site from my phone while down there though):

Any ideas? Could me having logged in from my phone messed it up (even though I browsed from my phone a bit yesterday and it didn't affect it)?

My guess is that HF is making changes in the background that have affected how the style displays.

I'm showing the same stuff on my end.

You're the best. If you're ever in Anchorage let me know so I can buy you a beer.

 

[SniperHF]

Yes, the style is being tweaked. A few of the changes were just put in.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Rather passive aggressive to call most threads "normal". All threads need to feel special.

The new default style is much better now.

Very much so!

I think I'll use it for now. Thanks for making the site readable all week though, @BlazingBlueAnt !

Default theme is definitely starting to look better. I'd perhaps go back to it if it weren't for all that empty white space on the right side.

Go to Home and toggle the right sidebar off. It's the four horizontal bar icon next to "open quick navigation" and that icon only appears there, unlike the quick navigation icon that's always present.

Oh brilliant, thank you.

Story of my life. I mean I have the personality type to enjoy officiating sports, that says enough in itself, doesn't it?

I am intermittently seeing the much improved HF white theme and some weird bastardization of BBA's theme, even though I have the extension completely disabled. Are people still flipping switches behind the scenes?

Yes they are. They are configuring and/or release code changes daily by the looks of it. I'm noticing multiple things change per day. Mostly for the better.

 

[SniperHF]

Yep, in the last 3 days or so they've added red lines around posts, darker grey behind post text, And a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head. They have to get every changed approved by the people behind the curtain so it takes some time.

Static page number buttons (so you don't have to hover) and something being done about the default avatars are in the works as are larger avatar sizes.


Seems like most Coyotes posters have made it to the new site but we still have a few who haven't come back yet

Where's adding 60px of height (= nav overlay) so users can read the first lines of a new post when you 'Go to First Unread'?

ie. fixing the anchor point

 

[SniperHF]

Are you talking about the behavior where when you click unread you end up viewing the white space below the post?

 

[Woodhouse]

Yep. The anchor point is technically taking us to the right spot, but since that 60px navTabs scrolls with us, it cuts off the top 60px of posts.
