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.

We just found a bug this morning that might have been the cause of this. Can you check it out again and let me know?

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.

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.

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.

They are not underlined.

Yes, it's working okay now. Thanks for that.

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,
.home-container,
.fix-width,
#header .holder,
#footer .holder,
#breadcrumb-inner {
	max-width:100%;
}

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

Your browser and browser version would be more important - Opera?

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,
.fix-width,
#header .holder,
#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.

What is the CSS code for the 'cozy' style option as well? Would like to stick that in Stylish too; cheers.

Thanks; those turn out pretty easy to setup in Stylish, just add !important before every ; to override.

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

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.

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.

+1,

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

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;)

Being 100% honest, the reason is the C in CSS...

I'll log that in our snaglist and see about getting them back.

Please Paddy, or at least some way of making links stand out more.

As I said above, they're quite tough on those of us not blessed with 20:20 vision!

u may need to update your java i think

Fr_Dougal

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.
