Dark theme still needs work, still seeing white elements here and there, not to mention black texted in the box as I type this.  There's also a white border around it to, don't think it should be there.

I'm in the middle of tweaking that menu so the edit & report options are easier to access (making it so you don't need to click the three dots first) - They should be gone from the menu now

At this point, might as well get rid of the ... and make “Share” a link like the rest.  It’s odd to click on the ... and only get 1 item.

I'm not sure if Dave would be able to do that or not; that menu holds our moderator options too. We'll see what he says :)

Speaking of. @DaveLegg is it purposeful that there's two sets of Report/Edit buttons now or is that still a work in progress?

I'm hoping the code in intuitive enough to hide the ... if there are no items for us muggles 😛

It is purposeful when it is a long post. I requested it.

I can hide it for people who aren't mods (when they're not using a phone - on a phone ALL options are within the dropdown to save screen space). This is already on my list for this evening!

Nitpicking here :D, but it seems that images added to posts are much larger than they were before upgrade.

Darkside should be much improved now

Is it possible to get a notification to a new post after replying to a front page article as I don't think this has ever worked for me it only works in the forum's?

The front page is a completely different system, although comments are currently tightly integrated into the forums. The comment system is due a major overhaul, and notifications is one of the items on the to-do list

I'm currently in the middle of totally re-writing the comment system, and this is on the feature list (although depending on time, it may come shortly after - but it will be a lot easier to add to the new system than the current one)

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      By +virtorio · Posted

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

    • Phone Dilemma

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
