We've made quite a few tweaks to Pegasus and set Midnight to default (also on the main page). How do you rate it now?

We also have our new db server, and the speed increase is noticeable, well done DaveLegg for that!

Please note that this thread isn't for some well known forum bugs, that are actually fixed with IPB 3.2.3 (we're still waiting for them to release it).

It's OK. I still liked the way the main forums page looked before better, but the tweaks have made a difference. I'm just happy since we have Darkside now ^_^

I really do miss how PMs won't jump to the last unread post anymore like the regular forums do, and there's no "jump to last page" button there.

The "Go to last page" button should be above the title of the conversation.

It looks good after the numerous tweaks have been applied. Let's hope IPB 3.2.3 really fixes the remaining bugs.

Indeed. (Y)

Can't believe I stuck to Darkside now after the upgrade haha.

I like Pegasus a lot, but somehow Darkside totally lured me in.

Normally I'd always use the most blue I could get, now I'm in the black ghetto :D

I like the design aesthetically, but somehow I've found it much more distracting than the previous one. Contrast/clarity issues, I think. Apart from that I like it a lot. :) Midnight works out quite well though.

Oh, one thing I find really annoying: the default IPB mobile skin doesn't have any "go to last page" button.

No sir--only a "Next" button, and if there are more than two pages, that still means you have to click click click to get to the last one.

Plus, even if you jump to the last page, you still have to scroll down to the last message. No really big deal I guess, but I'm spoiled on how it was before--when you clicked on the "new message" notification, it would take you straight down to the newest one.

FWIW, a 'go to last page' button appears once the conversation has reached 4 pages.

Here's how it looks for me:

As for having to scroll all the way down, just hit the 'end' button on your keyboard. :p

It is not that this theme is bad, it's that the old theme was better. This is like a minor downgrade.

This pretty much sums it up, yeah.

And Mephi, thanks. I guess 3 pages is the unlucky number! Anaron, I shouldn't have to press End on the keyboard, dammit!

I want it to work like before! /me kicks and screams and throws a tantrum ;)

On the top right, next to "Reply to this topic" there is a link that says "Go to first unread post".

Edit:

It seems to only show up where there are unread posts. Now that I've read the entire thread it seems to be gone.

I liked it from the get-go, and, I am the only one who uses the green... shame, it's the best colour.

Nothing beats Pink/Purple.

Can't believe we have dropped it... :no:

Not great... Still the text is like a shade off of what the background is for many of the columns/fields.

There is still also the logging in bug, for the main log in screen. Pressing tab from the "Username" field does not go to the "Password" field. It throws it somewhere else, causing me to have to manually click on the correct field... not a huge problem, but very annoying.

I don't dislike the layout, but I do dislike the color choices. Keep working at it :)

    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
