Icons for the new posts looks bad. Can we just keep the damn folders? It looks like I have a friend request on facebook. I came here to ask what those were, and I have to agree now that I know... this is the first change I actually dislike enough to whine about. 
ETA: Already reverted so maybe not then? |

Screenshot helps a lot. I'll see if I can adjust. Edit - Ok so using the page down key instead of mouse scrolling this happens. There's not much I can do with that since each pc/browser will be a different resolution and page down literally just pages down. The sticky bar is just stuck to the top of the page. So what happens is different resolutions will end up in different places. I'm not sure I can fix this because it's not anything we can control. I mean I could hack something, but if I mess with the page down key it could screw up something else and if I mess with a re-scroll to adjust placement, it would have to be done based on users viewport size and what's on the page, which could get real ugly. I don't think it's going to be possible.  I think it's browser specific. Using FF on multiple systems always behaves the same. wonder if FF treats page down differently than Chrome or IE where it isn't a problem. Is there a way to disable the floating toolbar from user settings? |

Could just be me but the "new posts" folders have vanished in HTTPS mode. Tried refreshing and clearing cache already.

Shift+Reload (or CTRL+Reload) to update the files you need new copies of. No easy way around it, but it should be good for now.
It will also grab the newer script files which simplified video junk for those having issues. |

The blue guys are normally the mod list for a forum. If they're in the place of the folder icon, Ctrl + F5.

If you don't know how your specific browser reloads a page and ignores it's cached files, check the following:
Wikipedia - Bypass your Cache or Refresh Your Cache! |

The best thing to do is always check for how to make the browser bypass it's cache for the specific page. IOS has a way to do it, i forget all the time though.

Regarding Refreshing Cache...
I understand that there's a way to name the files to append the date/time to the file name, so that your computer reloads them, rather than resorting to cache. Not sure how that messes with server load. I just know that we dealt with a similar issue in our software, and that's what our developers did it. |

Usually mobile phones you can close the browser and start it back to dump the cached pages only. Also most phones you either double tap the refresh page button in the browser or press and hold the refresh button to get a fresh copy. |

@goatboy I've mentioned this a couple times, but can we fix how posts from ignored users pop up? I don't like how they're huge red banners that stick out like sore thumbs. If they're on ignore, the last thing I want to see is a huge red bar telling me they posted something.

I'd like to revisit My Board, which I think could be one of the best ways to access the site. Here is what my current board looks like...
 Attached Fileit's 2 pages long on a PC screen, requiring scrolling. Here is how I propose that it look. Things I changed: 1. removed the subforum descriptions...any subscriber already knows what they are. 2. moved the 'posted by' thing to the far right next to the date/time to allow the entire subforum 'line' to be narrowed vertically. 3. combined the "drop down" menu bar and the "active topics/newest topics/etc." bars, both of which use about half the screen in widescreen presentation 4. replicated #3 at the bottom of the My Board 5. trimmed up the info at the bottom of the site. Honestly, I think a lot of it could "go" on the My Board page...people setting one up a) know this stuff and b) will see it on every other page on the site they visit so...does it need to be there at all? Ditto the add bar at the bottom...it's already at the top of every single page. 6. moved the description of what My Board is on to the "forum tools" line...having both seems like a waste of space 7. Removed the gray "forum" bars...for the same reason as #1 What I didn't do: reduce the size of add banners / $-generators or remove any functionality/info presented. These changes result in a lot more vertical screen space efficiency which allows the user to put many more subforums on their 'my board'...making it a natural 'starting place' for a regular user that wants to browse their fav forum. What was once 2 pages is now 1. Behold:  Attached File |

It's mostly changes in how listings are created which will allow us a lot more power in creating tools around them.

My eyes started bleeding after 20 pages,so I don't know if this has been addressed.
Why is the cursor in the Post Editor so microscopically tiny? My old eyes almost can't see it, as it's way smaller than the "normal" font size. Shouldn't it be the same size as the font?  Attached File |

I'd like to offer a suggestion in regards to the collapsed quote trees:
- Instead of having two choices when clicking on the "quote" button, return the button to its original function (no multiple choice) with the following behavior: - Make the maximum number of visible quotes 2 or 3 before collapsing the tree (leaving the 2 or 3 quotes visible), and showing the "view all quotes" button. The idea is to display a snippet of discussion, which sometimes turns into a non-sequitur when truncated by the fully-collapsed tree. - For mobile devices, leave the functionality of the display the same to save space, but return the button to a single function. I not a web programmer, but if conditional statements are supported then something to the effect of "if quotes >1, then add 'view all quotes' button" might serve to replace the two choice quote button. Sorry if something like this has already been posted; 34 pages is a bit much to read through. |
