If you have feedback on the forum in terms of stuff that needs to be actioned or oversights please can you post it in this thread so myself and @DevilDog can review it. Try and give as much detail as you can to explain the issue and add screenshots if possible ( https://imgur.com is good for image hosting, just make your uploads images rather than posts to avoid the Fugly Imgur wrapper).

Highlighting is not clear at all. Here's an example lads:

 

[Mista]

I also suggest the prefix goes into the left of the title and not under it

 

[Stouffers]

Will there be a light theme?

Will there be a light theme?

Yes. We will be looking into that next week on the test server.

Thanks

There was a bit of a discussion about placement as people didn't like the prefixes pushing the title across the screen (possibly due to mobile considerations). I think we opted for underneath as above looked weird.

Any chance at a white theme (as an option)? I'm one of the rare few that prefers it to night/dark theme

edit: sorry I see asked already

Heres your answer mate

Yes. We will be looking into that next week on the test server.

 

[Liberty4all]

Lol oh it was asked right above. glad to see I'm not the only one that prefers light theme

 

[Nymphae]

Everything's great so far, I like the light banner with the dark theme actually but it will probably look even better on an eventual light theme.

I have one question, I'm wondering if we can get the avatar backgrounds for transparent avatars to match the darker colour of the panel they sit in?

If Discord were added to the approved media, would a sound clip show up here if embedded?

This has now been fixed.

 

[MetalAlien]

now that we have a forum can folks like Darkmak-er something be invited?

Beautiful, you are the man

Is there a way to disable the auto refresh? It screws me up when typing a lot I've never been a fan of that feature.

 

[DevilDog]

You are going to have to explain a bit more in detail of what happens.

I do know that the forum saves drafts which may come across as a refresh. (You can see drafts in the top right side of the message box, its shown as a Save Icon/Floppy Disk icon (Yes, I'm that old))

Currently the forum shouldn't do a refresh as everything (as far as I know) doesn't refresh unless the user/browser asks for it.

Highlighting text is hard to see because the highlight color matches the background.
Otherwise good job (except for the blue & white banner that reminds me of a 90s Compaq website)

You can change to Matts Black theme you know. Which maybe arose out of a discord convo with someone the other night.

Much better, thanks.

I really like the dark header now, though I still find the bg logos are making it a little busy compared to the blue version, the logos gradually fading out like the blue version would probably look good in the dark mode too.

This has been changed now, thoughts?

You beautiful thing! Thank you

Just a heads up @DevilDog , the replace photo icon is invisible

I'm having image linking issues with Imgur I've never really had before, uploaded the Conspiracy Corner OP image to imgur and it went fine, but DPad kept giving me an error when trying to paste the link via the insert image function.

I used imagebb instead and it was able to be linked in Dpad just fine

All my links are Imgur and I haven't had any issues. Maybe make a general post in OT for new users about image hosts and the do's and don'ts?

I don't get what the issue is then, generally imgur does work fine for me but I was having issues with it last night too when trying to put the futurama gifs into Meta.

Can you give me some example links that you tried to use?

I was just uploading a JPEG that I saved from a PSD file.

This is the imgur link -

That gives you this when you try the insert image function:

(lol I just tried to upload a screenshot of the panel message and I get the same error, I will upload with image bb)

That same OT jpeg worked at image BB no problem

It's because you made it a post on imgur versus an image (posts are like public, whereas Images are private links), that's why it's using the wrapper

 

[Nymphae]

I'm doing it the same way I always have, drag a file into the upload window and copy the link. It never gives the wrapper generally and I don't know why it does here

This is when you drop and copy: -





This is when you add image and do a direct link

It did this on GAF as well. This is why I've always use add image

 

[Nymphae]

Honestly no idea how "add image" differs from drag and drop into upload field, I've never had this issue before

It's because it doesn't give you the option to direct link

 

[Nymphae]

It's because it doesn't give you the option to direct link

I don't get why I've been able to do the same thing with no wrapper all other times. Idk.

So you're saying what, instead of drag and drop use the right hand side options?

 

[Nymphae]

I think it would be nice if we could have a dividing line of some sort between the top stickies and regular threads, like they have on Gaf. @DevilDog

 

[Nymphae]

It's because it doesn't give you the option to direct link

Explain it to me like I'm five please

I have tried everything with Imgur and it keeps giving me this error, despite never seeing it before and never having an issue with this method (which produced no wrapper)

ImageBB seems to work a lot better now for me tbh, very fast too sometimes imgur is a bitch

I can't really more than I already have. I encountered the stupid Wrapper issue years ago and ever since then, I've also used the image upload and direct link. Basically, the wrapper link is to a coded embed. You can paste that direct into the thread

If I select the top Image Link I can only paste it directly into the thread: -



However, if I select Direct Link; -

I post that in the forum image link and there's no wrapper: -

Always use Direct Link

 

[Nymphae]

Thank you I'll keep at it lol

A little technical thing - going to d-pad.life and www.d-pad.life, if you're logged in on one that doesn't have you logged in on the other. Two possible fixes for that - the first is to tweak the cookie to work in both domains, the second (more sensible imo) is to set up one to redirect to the other.
