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.
good to know. anyways many thanks for the new improved look

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.

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!

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

Re: New forum theme
Is this a known issue?
At least with my default browser (Safari 7, OSX 10.9), the login pane doesn’t auto focus the username input field. The annoying side effect of this is that I need to interact manually with the form much more than it was the case with the previous version of the forums.
More detailed: when accessing the forums, I type a couple of letters in the location bar, and Safari automagically fills in the url for the login page; press return to load the page, name/pw are filled in automatically. In the previous version of the forums, I could then just press ‘return’ to login. Now I have to interact with the form to set the focus (press the tab key multiple times, or grab the mouse…).

Edit: Hmm, scrap that partially, it seems there was an issue between the keyboard and the chair. One ‘tab’ press is enough to set the focus.

Re: New forum theme
There is now a changelog in the GitHub repo where you can track upcoming fixes/changes.

Re: New forum theme
From a users perspective A+, although I love yellow, it’s not my favourite for website backgrounds, though it did have a vintage feel in the recent years. The clean black and white with the mid tones is an excellent choice in this upgrade. I already find myself spending a longer amount of time on the forum and look forward to the mobile experience.
Especially I like all the script loading asynchronously at the foot of the page, as I’ve been wondering how to implement that. Thanks again for sharing that so clearly on the Github repositories.

Re: New forum theme
Require.js does all the JavaScript loading, it’s great. The next update, coming soon, also includes some performance and speed gains. I’m seeing a 96/100 Google Speed Test on my test install.

Re: New forum theme
Request: can the ‘Silent edit’ checkbox please be unchecked by default (like it was on the old forum)? I keep forgetting to uncheck it (and assume others will, too), though I think it’s very useful to be able to see if and when a post has been edited.
