As I said in the other topic, I think this is great, much much better now.

But I am really missing the recent forum posts on the front page.

Would there be any way to get that back in some format so its stays on the front page instead of just the hover, like maybe sticking it in the side panel for us that would like it. :D

Are you on dial-up internet? I can't imagine the front page taking more than a second or two.

No, currently using a 20Mbit connection, the frontpage loads in around a second, but there's no dropdown menu for around 6-10 seconds ( Varies ).

I know it seems like a luxurious problem, but when you are used to the old method of checking recently updated threads, this is does feel rather slow.

Like I've said elsewhere, it's a trade-off.

We got a lot of negative feedback on the Recent articles area and general mess at the top of the page. It was overloaded with links and for the not-so-tech-savvy it just looked plain confusing.

I have showed this theme to a few people who aren't very smart with computers/internet and they think its a great improvement. Most said "Clean!"

The drop downs load last, but they are also on every page (unlike the Recents area on main). That is browser related rather than intended behavior.

I've tweaked it slightly, due to where it loads in the page, and where the script loads, and what parts of the page it needs, it doesn't actually need to wait for the page to finish loading before it will work, so, from now on, it will initialise the drop-downs as soon as they are loaded, without waiting for the rest of the page to be done.

You will need to clear your cache (ctrl + F5) for this change to take effect.

Ah, that's so much better. Drops down instantly!

Thanks a lot - No need for Summary View then :D

100% better. Thank you, Dave.

Excellent work guys/gals. I'm liking the shift skin but is there any plans for more colours? Blue is a tad bit boring :D

EDIT: Seems someone already asked that whilst i was typing this, sorry for asking an already asked question.

I like it, except the "forums index" page. There isn't enough difference in colours(IMO) so it all kind of blends into one, compared to Swift. Otherwise very nice. :)

Will there be different colour schemes eventually?

Different colors will be launched when we are satisfied that the theme is completed.

    • Anyone Here With Turbo Pascal Experience?

      Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.

      Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen

      Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
