    On the off chance no one has mentioned it (havent time to check) there seems to be a problem in the "Followed Threads" Notifications where it shows up that there are 1 or more threads with new replies that you are following.

    When you click on it however to go look at the list of threads you are following there ARE no threads with new replies.

    Despite opening every thread in the list, scrolling to the last pages, and marking all the forums as "read" that they are from, my notifications are still showing a number in the "Followed threads" as if there is 2 threads with new replies.

    Oh good, you made it so clicking on the number of followed threads brings you straight to them.

    Since it's the default skin, I'll go with it for a few days to see how it goes. I think I can adjust to non-sticky, cosy full width.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭Drag00n79


    you should

    1. update your android to at least 2.3.5 (gingerbread) froyo (2.2.2) is woeful.. gingerbread runs better & uses less battery life.

    to do this first backup your stuff onto your pc then go to settings, about phone, software updates, then run the update. (make sure your phone is fully charged first)

    2. use firefox for android (boards.ie app runs nicely on it)


    i have a htc desire hd... trust me when i say gingerbread is way better than froyo. just waiting for Three to release the ICS update now :)
    Thanks for the info but my phone has no updates to install. Its a htc desire not a desire hd. Its the only site I'm having trouble like this with. I have ended up deleting boards completely from my phone bookmarks as I was hitting it without thinking and the internet hanging was driving me mental.

    Bug

    Issue
    Forum missing from dropdown after ban

    Browser
    Google Chrome

    OS
    Windows 7

    I was banned from Games for three weeks, and then it was reveresed. After my ban was removed the forum is not visible from the dropdown menu. I am able to access from "My Forums" and if I actually drill into the games dropdown, it becomes visible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    Are links darker or is it because they're not underlined? - I'm finding them hard to see. :(

    Thanks and I know there's a touch version but I used to enjoy accessing the normal site on my phone. Its the only site now that just stops halfway across the loading bar and worse leaves me unable to use the net without restarting the phone.

    On my widescreen monitor (1680x1050) there's a lot of wasted border space at the sides; would be nice if that could be tweaked.

    It can, enable the full width option to widen the page to your full monitor width. Without the option it locks to 1400px wide.
    top nav bar doesn't get anchored in iOS for ipad.

    Talk to Apple about their horrific implementation of position:fixed. You can have a sticky bar that scrolls with the page that you can't click on unless you scroll to the top, or you can have a bar that stays and the top and works as expected. Apparently, you cannot have both.

    Log out and log back in again. The menu is cached locally, there is no way to expire this cache on your machine when your ban is lifted.

    Thanks, though this seems to require that I both be logged in, and enable javascript from googleapis.com (which I intentionally keep disabled due to tracking on multiple sites); could the base theme be unlocked from 1400px?

    I'm afraid not, no. Fluid width from 960px to 1400px is the way the design will be natively. The Google CDN is used to deliver jQuery 1.7.1

    Okey that's a pity; I'll see if I can put together a Stylish hack to fix it in Firefox.

    I can't imagine the site's functioning too well without jQuery anyway but here's the CSS in use by the option
    #nav,

    #footer .holder,
    #breadcrumb-inner {

    Hi Lads and Lassies glad to see that the old skin is still available as I said in myother 3 posts in the feedback thread I cannot with the new skinclose/delete/merge etc when using the new skin

    You said you tested it and it worked for you but its not working for me

    At the time I was using XP Pro so over the weekend I upgraded to Windows 7Pro and still the same thing

    Its is making it difficult for me to function as a mod if all the tools Ishould have at my disposal are not there for me when using the new skin



    I would prefer to use the new skin but I am happy as long as the old one isstill available to me and everything works for me

    Nice one, thanks; I got it working with this Stylish script:
    @-moz-document domain(www.boards.ie),
    url-prefix(http://www.boards.ie/) {
    
    #nav,
    .home-container,

    #footer .holder,
    #breadcrumb-inner {
    	max-width:100% !important;
    }
    }
    
    Perfect now, looking good.

    On Davs post he gave a link where you could change back to the old skin- has that now been done away with? I've clicked on it but it doesn't revert back to the original skin which is a major bummer. I found the simplicity of the old skin to be brilliant- much easier and more enjoyable to use than this new look.

    Unfortunately any bug fixes or improvements to either and you're on your own, that'd be the disadvantage of using stylish over native I suppose


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,797 ✭✭✭KyussBishop


    True indeed; is there a place where these css modifications can be looked at directly?

    I tried digging into the web page source, and diffing the css scheme used both with and without the 'cozy' appearance option, but I guess it's actively applied by jQuery; while I'm plenty familiar with code, am not familiar with web stuff or searching through site scripts.

    +1,

    When Flux kicks in later on I won't see them at all.

    They are not underlined.
    Why?

    Is the blue darker, or is stuff greyer, I'm having to mess with contrast/colour/brightness settings...never mind, I think I was just getting use to it.

    I like this new layout/look.:)

    Except for the missing underline;)

    Mother of god will you turn it back to the way it was. It's clunky as feck on an iPhone, can't zoom in properly and scrolling is nigh impossible.

    Also when you click "My Forums" and click a forum down the list it's so clunky you end up clicking 'search thread' because it takes so long for the site to respond.

    Yeah the iPhone really hates it so all full site browsing on mobile is no good on the new update. Had to switch out of it myself.

    Just came in to post this, do we have to revert to the old view every time we sign in? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 619 ✭✭✭Boards.ie: Paddy


    That shouldn't be happening. Once you revert to the old look it should leave you on that forever. Obviously if you're not signed in you'll see the new skin but once you sign in you should change back to the old one. I'll investigate this further anyway.

    Slight issue.

    When clicking on my "all posts" and trying to select from the three options in the drop down, it's not 'refreshing'. For example, seeing that it's set at the default 'Newest First', if I try to select 'Most Thanked' or even 'Best Matched' nothing happens.

    I'm running SRware Iron v.20.0.1150.1 (based on chromium).

    Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "All Posts"? Do you mean the page you end up on when you click "Find all posts by chin_grin" on your profile?
