Odd. There was a bug fixed in relation to that a few weeks ago, nothing in this release should have effected it. Can you you do a right click "Copy image URL" and post it in here.

I'm still not liking the breadcrumbs, can it not have proper tabs like another site I posted before?

Other than appearance, what's the difference? Or are you just saying the tabs look nicer?

It was a design decision for the breadcrumbs to be 'sticky'. Emulating that look on the XBMC forums won't work in a 'sticky' context.

As was also said, it's just how it looks, functionality, what's here and what's on the other site work the same.

We are however, based on you sending me that link before, looking at adding that nice shadow effect for when you scroll down and the thread goes under the header.

I'm going to do a quick mockup of a much thinner sticky floating topbar later, I really think there is potential for removing 50% of space without losing anything.

Enable 'Cozy Mode' and it gets much tighter (as will the spacing on the rest of the site)
We are constantly tweaking the layout / padding in the header to make it optimal.

Is there any way for a user to fix the "extra notification" problem? i.e. the notification showing a "1" even though you've read all your followed threads. Or do you have to request an admin/a dev to do it?

Not really. The counts come down from the backend API. They should always be correct and in the majority of cases they are correct but the user hasn't actually read all their threads. There appear to be some edge cases where they're not but we're having trouble tracking these down. Are you currently experiencing a stuck notification count, if so I'll look into it and see what needs to be changed?

Didn't know this was still an issue.
Will direct it to the relevant person!
Thanks for the heads up.

Both images are the same for me Penn - they're not for you? Go to the link you pasted and CTRL+F5/Hard refresh

Yeah, the count is always 1 more than it should be, has been for a few days. Obviously I could just ignore it, but it's a notification, I can't NOT pay it attention . Thanks Paddy

Type: Bug
Issue: If the window isn't maximised, resizing it vertically causes the category list at the top to 'squish' over towards the right hand side, with the 'Tech' category eventually appearing on a new line. Example here:



Resizing/maximising it doesn't fix it, but visiting a new page does.
