This new theme looks fanstantic. Lots of websites has been ungoing changes to new looks lately :D

umm are you going to keep the old theme available? I would like prefer that one so i can slowly transfer myself over to this theme between the two over time. It take a while to get used to huge changes.

But this this is great otherwise :D Keep up the good work.

All the older themes are still there :)

The new template is looking good. But there is some errors with the WYSIWYG-editor, and the "Quick Reply" button should not have the Q as a large image. Please use text instead.

Otherwise, I great template..

I didn't even notice that until I saw this post. Now it's bugging me! Grr. lol

I don't understand why everyone is complaining NOW about the Q on the Quick Reply button being an image. It's the same way for Swift?

I think the button overhaul is really good and makes the forum look lighter and fresh...

If this has been with Swift aswell. I should have complaint about it before. But it looks ridicules. That is my opinion. It could be done in another proper way.

I was trying to say something to express how great I think this theme is, but I can't come up with anything good. So, I'll just say I wish you could have seen my face. It would have made you feel like a father that had just seen his kid open a present and with the look on the kid's face he (father) knew it was PERFECT!

Criticism and praise here, sorry ...

Basically I love the new drop menus from the top for Main. Software. Gamers Forum, makes it look a lot tidier/cleaner.

However, one issue I have, and hope I can explain it correctly. When I hover over a post/thread in the droplist I get the full title of the post/thread, however now when I move away and hover over another it does not display the new full title. Instead I have to move away from the droplist so that it disappears and reopen it and then hover for the full title again. It seems to hold the first one you hover over in memory or something unless you do this. FYI I am using Fx 2.0.0.4

I hope that makes sense? It worked perfectly in the old style, but not in this :( That's the only criticism I can offer, other than that excellent upgrade :)

The tooltips work fine for me, but I'm using Minefield (Firefox nightly). It's not a site problem, though.

I see the blog design has been slightly updated... using one of my suggestions! Woot! I feel so important! :woot:

(If you have your own blog, notice the bar at the bottom of the custom content blocks... Before, the buttons just floated there, but I PMed DaveLegg with a suggestion to copy the button bar from the add post/blog form :))

How's your arm feeling after all that patting yourself on the back? It could be sprained.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
