Browser compatibility update for Pegasus (main)


Recommended Posts

Today we've updated the main news site for a more lightweight, streamlined version of Pegasus that should fix all of the reported browser compatibility issues that have been reported by members.

We've tested this on Chrome stable, beta and dev and I think everyone will be pleased with the result.

We've also tweaked a few things here and there, like fixing the Welcome, membername text and have added a "Review" badge to the main news view feed so that it stands out a bit more (like Editorials).

As always we appreciate feedback, and hope you enjoy these changes.

On main please CTRL + F5 (or force refresh your browser) to ensure you are viewing the updated site.

Did this also remove the themes? I quite liked the dark one which seems is no longer an option.

Yes, we discovered that all of the options we added actually caused quite a few issues with certain browsers. In the past we've pretty much settled on an update and we hope that this final Pegasus look is a good trade off previous themes.

Also, these updates will be transferred to the forums in due course once we're certain everything is working properly.

Colors are too difficult to maintain for the main page, but we're thinking of returning to colored sections (like gamers and software news).

No more font-settings? I have OSX Lion with Safari, and Segoe font looks bad and blurry (only on neowin) :/ Please bring back at least one more font (for example: arial or tahoma). :rolleyes:

Fact is, that with the lovely options we had we were driving people away due to browsers crashing on Neowin. Now it could be down to add-ons and betas and alpha builds, but we need a site that works all the time, on all browsers.

Hm. I'm using Safari on Lion as well and have no complaints about how Segoe UI looks. Matter of taste.

On-topic: I like the upgraded Pegasus. Nice work. (Y)

Yeah, would at least like font settings to remain. Liked Arial on the front page, not so much Segoe UI.

Overall not bad, although I see things like fade animations removed for the dropdown menus, and no shadow in the background - perhaps for performance reasons.

I think it only effects the main page. I hope it does not. I like The Darkside.

I, too, hope it does not. I don't want to leave (again) but the brightness gives me a headache.

IT WORKED BEFORE, DAMMIT.

You guys didn't read the thread did you? lolz

Wouldn't it be possible to keep the themes for front page and forum separate - as in have only Pegasus on the FP, yet offer the current selection of themes on the forum (for registered users)?

I believe that they are, at least for me. I use Dark Side and if the forum ever got as bright as the main page, I would have to find some type of CSS to change it.

This will prob happen, can't say tho its up to Neobond :p

What's up with the font?

Pretty much every site that I visit uses the Arial font group, and Segoe just looks odd. I would appreciate bringing back a font option, but apart from that I don't really care about the color changes.

Oh and I spotted a bug. The red editorial tag is not showing on the front page for editorials. Brad's "Microsoft, can you help us fight the bloatware battle?" shows the editorial tag in the actual article but not on the main page

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
