jamieakers Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 the entire theme was reloaded with various changes & bug fixes here and there. Steve has been talking about a theme refresh for a few days now Please fix the vertical spacing. It makes reading threads absolutely hideous. I point-blank will not be using the forums until this is fixed. Scrap the red-dashed line thing you get whenever you quote someone else's post. It's totally unnecessary as it gets in the way of the user. BBcode is not working. There's BBcode spewed all over that needs sanitising. Embedded YouTube clips don't work. Page numbering is awful when you go past the last page. I don't really care if this is IPB4 or your theme or what really - it's broken and it needs fixing. Other forums (and the old version of this forum) don't have this problem. Notifications on the home page are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertical spacing is default and is any real text editor feature, including most office apps See italic part above BBCODE does work, but old posts are still being converted (<--- now said 141 times or thereabouts) Embedded videos seem top work, I probably have to look up a setting to reduce the size a bit Page numbering is fine Still needs to be ported over In addition, I can fix vertical spacing in posts by doing shift+enterEASY! bold italics <-- random bbcode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieakers Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Screenshot attached. This should make it crystal clear how much screen real estate is being wasted. Don't see any italic part above. Thanks! Thanks! Yes it is now - thanks! OK You're expecting people to use Shift+Enter? That's nuts. I expect it work just like Notepad or a simple typewriter, I want a new line I press Enter.

MikeChipshop Member Posted August 4, 2015 Member Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Screenshot attached. This should make it crystal clear how much screen real estate is being wasted. Not being wasted though is it? It's that big due to the info in the sidebar.If you don;t like it, then i urge you to learn to use stylish to alter the bits you don't want. That way you can get it exactly how you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggendrop Veteran Posted August 4, 2015 Veteran Share Posted August 4, 2015 Just curious why some prefer the "like" button on the left. For a right handed person with a mouse, the most efficient side is the right hand side by the scroll column, less horizontal movements. "Signin" is on the right side also.

The space you mentioned in the screenshot, it has been around since the forum came out with avatars... Nothing you can do about it. Look at the left side panel .. If the avatar is removed, then the space in right pane will be smaller. Think about that. MikeChipshop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it work just like Notepad or a simple typewriter, I want a new line I press Enter. Except on pretty much any RTE this is exactly how it works. Enter for a new paragraph and shift + Enter for a single line break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing you can do about it. Look at the left side panel .. If the avatar is removed, then the space in right pane will be smaller. Think about that. Bad idea. I want to keep my avatar. Plus, white space doesn't bother me. A lot of sites, programs, and OSes always end up having a lot of unused space anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is because most people start tracking letters with their eyes and reading from the left hand side.

Don't know, but you don't always need to fill the space, especially since this theme is only temporary. MikeChipshop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 5, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted August 5, 2015 It only looks that way because we used to ensure sigs and the like links were actually at the bottom of a post, we may still do this at some point. If there's any more height at all it is minimal, plus the alternating post color is not here as well.. or a trick of the light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
