New forum format

I'd prefer more grey than the black.
I really dislike the blue.

BLUE????

BLUE????

Yeah blue on black text is my hang up. I'll deal with it to keep dark mode, but on some of my crappier monitors it's hard to read especially when I don't have my glasses on. Old man problems.

Ya, that is the standard internet Hyperlink coloration.

Thanks i found color button. Will take a while to learn this but it will happen. I see the value in the new format for the future. Heres to lots of snow this season. Thanks Christopher for doing this.

BLUE????

Yeah, blue banners at the top.

It's especially overwhelming on the mobile and tapa.
No bueno for my eyes.

 

[Scott]

Too much blue

When I click on "What's New" and then "New posts", it always defaults to the "unread" option.
I want it to forget the "unread" and show me ALL posts....sorta like the treadmill would.

I might have gotten that one figured out. I think i checked the box to remember my default preferences over on the right side of the screen. (desktop version)

Chit! I could just about live with that. The live updating was nice on the treadmill, but it's not the end of the world, without it.

Edit: Just noticed that the "New posts" page DOES auto refresh itself every so often.

 

[Marty UT]

Other thing that was nice, was being able to read the first part of the post without opening the thread. Just little things that made moderating duties a little easier.

We MIGHT be able to change that.

You didn't have to hover over it to show it though. It's all good, I'm pretty happy with it now after trying Scott's suggestion.

.....AND, oh by the way, that's only showing the FIRST post of the thread, not the most recent.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It auto refreshes just like the treadmill. Almost the same.

I think I mentioned that too.

I will go take a look at the interna, configuration and see if XF allows us to specify the LAST post rather than the FIRST post as the default.
