Oh - could someone take a screenshot of how narrow its looking for them because on mine the black area is only about 10% width on the left and right - I tested on a 4k and 1080P screen, I thought it looked kind of nice but it's clearly not working if its really taking up 60% as someone suggested above.

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
The new forum is still logging me out randomly, and making me log back in (even if I just visited a couple hours ago), as I detailed in this topic. Others were experiencing the same thing so I assume they still have the same issue as well. I've also gotten a COMPLETELY new computer since making that post, with an OS 4 years newer with new browser versions and everything... and the problem still persists (have to manually log in - and yes, I'm checking the "stay logged in" checkbox).
Smaller things that other phpBB's have been able to do for literally decades which we still can't do: Click on a user's name and have an option to see all of their created TOPICS... like to find the topic I linked to above, usually you just click on the username and then their topic and you can find it in 5 seconds... but on this forum I can ONLY see their post history... so I literally had to manually search back FIVE PAGES of my posts to find that topic I made... super annoying and a waste of time.
Oh... even making the link to the above is annoying as well... this forum makes you literally have to add your own code: you have to add the equal sign then paste in the URL manually into the [ url ] code... people who don't know code WILL have a problem with that. Should just be a pop-up where you paste in the URL like every other phpBB forum (and others) has had for 20+ years.
Not the end of the world by any means, and I HIGHLY appreciate you taking the time to migrate! ...just what I've found so far that I really thought/hoped would be fixed...

Please check again at your end as it was never that bad for me - but in theory this is fixed.KennyMan666 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 8:31 am Yeah, def don't like the fixed width. So, of course, the first thing I did was whip up a Stylus script for myself that changed the main column max width to 90% rather than a fixed amount of pixels.
But with or without the script, I note that there's absolutely no padding between the user field and the post field, and that does not look great.
Edit: Also please make those green user online indicators not be animated.

I need some help from a web developer on that. I tried everything but it was beyond my ability to have it center correctly between the left and right float elements without just making it a background image.

Looking better now, thank you.
You can use advanced search for your own topics (or others) as a workaround, but a single link would be convenient.Dochartaigh wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 4:25 pm Smaller things that other phpBB's have been able to do for literally decades which we still can't do: Click on a user's name and have an option to see all of their created TOPICS... like to find the topic I linked to above, usually you just click on the username and then their topic and you can find it in 5 seconds... but on this forum I can ONLY see their post history... so I literally had to manually search back FIVE PAGES of my posts to find that topic I made... super annoying and a waste of time.

Not sure what is causing that, might need to delete cookies or something.

None of these features exist out of the box on PHPBB 3.3 - so that's why they don't exist, migrating 3.0 to 3.3 was actually a pretty big step, it opens the door to modern extensions.Smaller things that other phpBB's have been able to do for literally decades which we still can't do: Click on a user's name and have an option to see all of their created TOPICS... like to find the topic I linked to above, usually you just click on the username and then their topic and you can find it in 5 seconds... but on this forum I can ONLY see their post history... so I literally had to manually search back FIVE PAGES of my posts to find that topic I made... super annoying and a waste of time.

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
Funny enough, previous to the upgrade I only ever saw the starfield if I was logged out. Logging in would remove it and it would be a black background. Now the starfield is always visible. I don't have a problem the background itself (it is classic), however, the actual forum table is transparent and this on top of the starfield makes the text difficult to read.
I don't mind the narrow behavior all that much. When I'm on devices with a keyboard and mouse, I just zoom in (control + mouse wheel up) if I need the text larger, then zoom back out when I no longer need it. Not a huge deal to me personally.

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
There were two themes, a lot of people were using the 'lite' one that took the stars away. I WILL be creating it again but only once the normal theme is in a better overall place.Austin wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 8:47 pm Funny enough, previous to the upgrade I only ever saw the starfield if I was logged out.

How about now? I adjusted it yesterday - you might have to shift-reload to force the CSS to be reloaded.

Mildly better now.

I do think a thin vertical line separating the user field and the post field, or a slight colour difference between the two, might be something to consider.

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
The logo on top is not linked to the main forum any longer. Could you please fix that?
The new narrower layout is ok on computer but not very cool on mobile.

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
New forum looks nice!
Is there any chance tables are coming back? Either the old tag or any other new way to make tables. If not, there is huge workload coming towards many of us, see e.g. https://vps-3576da.stackvps.com/viewtopic.php?t=60767

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
It was actually discussed on the previously page, sadly there's a bug in the way tables are handled and there's not an immediate, easy fix, so we'll just have to sit tight for now.
Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
The way they will defined will definitely change I'm afraid looking at the options - the old one simpl is not compatible with PHPBB anymore, so I have to see which extension is nicest. I'm a bit busy for the next few days - family & health stuff.

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
Depending on the syntax of the new tables you'll probably be able to regex one into the other anyway. The real problem will be posts by users who aren't around any more staying broken short of mod intervention.

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
small request for better/easier board navigation: could you put a link to the board index behind the forum logo on top ?
When I'm in the depth somewhere (e.g. in PMs), it's an easier way to navigate back the actual board instead of having to find the small "board index" link somewhere in the upper navigation.
PS: the updated spacing is much better - thanks!

Re: New forum software / theme bugs thread
Could we push up the thread page selector a little bit? Preferrably centered just like the actual thread links? It's looking a bit unfriendly rn
