first of off this change explains ( perhaps) why the forum was so flakey al lady yesterday.

That must be unrelated to the update. The work we do doesn’t have any affect to the production server. Robert did the designated deployment/update tasks today (midday GMT). In total it caused a few minutes of downtime.

Re: New forum theme

I’m forced to use IE8 at work. Just thought I’d mention a masthead issue. The css rules .no-svg H1.masthead A in main.#.css and .no-svg H1.masthead in ie8.#.css seem to both be inplace and cause overlapping Textpatterns.

Re: New forum theme

WOW -looks great!!
Although I personally am a bit sceptical about very basic functions being based on JavaScript.
Anyway: Thanks to Phil, Jukka and Robert. A big step forward for TXP.

The forum uses FluxBB and it doesn’t have a plugin system. The only way we can add any new features to it, is with JavaScript and other client-side techniques.

Re: New forum theme

Wow! it’s like coming to new home, huge thanks to you devs for this Christmas gift! I have tested it on all available devices, and it looks great, but there are few things I don’t like as much as the rest:

  • webfonts: pure time-wasting (but it’s me)
  • rounded tabs look a bit dull, I’d love them less rounded and more yellow-mustard
  • blockquotes do not stand out enough, maybe a full border would be easier to spot
  • the navigation bar jumps in on page load
  • I’m unable to make better (neither as good)

Gocom has improved the loading of web fonts today, so expect that in the next forum patch.

blockquotes do not stand out enough, maybe a full border would be easier to spot

Fair point, I’ve been musing over that myself too, expect it to be improved soon.

the navigation bar jumps in on page load

Again, that has been improved today, so will be in next patch.

Cheers!

Re: New forum theme

First visit on mobile. Love it on mobile even more than I did on desktop.
