A colleague pointed me to The visual history of Reddit's source which was generated using Gource. So I ran the program over the boards.ie git repository. Here it is for your viewing pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imgyZlX5aMM

This is a set of high resolution raw and PNG format vectors of the boards.ie logo and text in an assortment of simple colour palettes. The idea is that it could be used for a variety of purposes, from creating icons for a plugin, to making t-shirts for your boards.ie sports team. Userkit 1.1 Note: please see this thread…

Unable to respond to private messages
Hi, This morning I posted offering different codes I had and I asked that anyone who wanted them to PM and I'd send them on. I was able to send three codes, however I am now unable to send private messages or respond to private messages? This is what I see when I try to respond. I haven't posted any posts for an hour or…

Duplicate threads (and posts)
I'm seeing a lot of duplicate threads in various areas of boards today (including this forum). Posted by different users, hard to believe it's just a user glitch. There are duplicate posts showing too (I know that ghost duplicates were an issue before)

Dark Mode PLEASE
Please, is there no way to implement a basic dark mode background on the site?! Forcing a dark mode across the web on my device (just to be able to participate on Boards) messes with imagery (and usage) on other sites that already use dark mode. Surely even the outmoded Vanilla has developed some sort of option? This is…

May I suggest a way to flag zombie threads.
I've fallen for posting in a good few zombie threads in the past. Probably after some bot has found the thread and posted. Why not change the background colour of the page according to how old the last two posts were? If the either of the last two posts was more than say 3 months old the background colour could be changed…

Breadcrumbs menus disappear when scrolling down through thread
The grey breadcrumbs menu disappears when I am scrolling down through a thread. I also just noticed that the blue top menu disappears as well. The menus only reappear when you get right back to the top of the thread. This is really frustrating because it means having to scroll the whole way back to the top of the current…

[Feature suggestion] Markup Editor
Trying to do basic text formatting like bold, bullet points, etc on this forum is very cumbersome. Nothing works as it should. I try to do a bulleted list, I highlight several lines and click bullet list and it puts everything in my whole post into the bulleted list. Sometimes I get random empty lines in my posts, I press…

Soccer Forum - Man United Thread not loading correct page
The Man United forum when you click to latest post is loading page 2719, while the latest posts (right now) are on page 2710. So when you click into the thread it brings you to an empty 2719,then going back a page to 2718, 2717 etc doesnt load anything either. Not just me, loads of other posters seeing the same.

boards.ie-hosted Twitter links
Twitter changed a lot of things over the last few days. It is possible that a whole bunch of links are broken and new links won't be parsed properly, e.g. the following should show the tweet, not just a link. https://x.com/jawkn3ee/status/1792288261773160484

Thread or category search
Thread or category search? The fact that users can only search the whole of boards is plain daft, when they typically only want to search the category or thread. Come on, listen to your users needs.

boards.ie unusable on Chromebook
Just said I'd highlight this. Use a HP chromebook for a fair bit of browsing but boards.ie won't work properly. Crashes, won't load etc. Error reports show nothing and I've powerwashed the chromebook but no joy. This is the only site that has the recurring and constant crashes. Not that big a deal, just said I'd highlight…
