OT: General OT Thread #44 - The World is Still Turning

[Webster]

I like the dark screen option

 

[Wild11MN]

Oh hey, I'm in. The new look isn't perfect, but for the most part, I like it. Agreed on dark mode - finally (again).

 

[Sad People]

Thank the lord of dark mode, My retinas can be at peace now

It will still improve from where it's at. Lots of configuration work still happening.

The plus side....some of the many Wild threads may have been deleted on the main board. The down side....I got 4 points last night, yet it looks like the Prediction thread took a hit with the change over.

 

[NHL1674]

Something I'm not okay with is my username showing on the bottom of a thread that I'm viewing. I like viewing the opponent's GDT and would prefer to do so incognito. I have the privacy setting box unchecked, which is suppose to "hide me", but it's not working.

You were never incognito. It was a preference setting before.
All you did was prevent yourself from seeing it.

So those privacy settings are for if someone views my profile and wants to know what thread I'm in?

Or if you want your profile to not show when you were last online etc.

 

[NHL1674]

There's gotta be something wrong with the preferences, because even unchecking the box that shows my online status doesn't work. It still shows I'm online.

Gotta love bugs.

A lot of configuration to go. Not all features are online.

 

[TaLoN]

They're going to be testing to see if 150x150 avatars can return, something we haven't had since prior to the previous upgrade

 

[Wild11MN]

In dark mode, it's very difficult to distinguish between threads that have unread messages, and those that don't. The bolding for threads with unread is hard to notice. Not sure if that's something that can be fixed.

It's on the list to address, but they have bigger fish to fry first.

Speaking of which, Friday Fish Frys are back!

 

[Wabit]

They aren't an all year thing near you?

Simple solution: Just post in every thread. If you don't see your name as the most recent then there are new things to read. Everyone should do this.

 

[Wabit]

Huh, so there are now 4 options for reactions when you click like on a post. You can only have one per post.

Sorry Talon if you got a bunch of notifications when I was clicking things just to see what happened.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Nah, usually just during lent.

 

[Wabit]

Nah, usually just during lent.

It's just the normal Friday special at a lot of places around me. Some places have added a special Wednesday fish fry for lent.

 

[The Enemy Within]

I like the dark screen option

That is a beautiful thing. I really like this new format.

 

[TaLoN]

That is a beautiful thing. I really like this new format.

The more configuration work they do, the better it looks.

 

[Avder]

So is it finally working?

 

[TaLoN]

So is it finally working?

Yup

 

[Webster]

Yup

As you can see, usernames appear in red when you reply, harder to read. I suggest a brighter color, how about green?
