In the WYSIWYG editor with the classic theme, when clicking the Paste as plain text button, the dialog box's text is black. Just noticed that.

In the mobile theme, the drop down style changing menu is broken, it doesn't list any styles. Both in Chrome and on my phone. I wouldn't mind, except when I logged in on a work PC it automatically switched to the mobile theme (I guess because I last accessed the forums from my phone) and I couldn't change to any other style without logging out first.
BTW, a while back the mobile theme was broken but it works now, except for the style change menu it seems.
I'll see if I can find time to look into it a little later. See if you can annoy Illusions into doing something sooner - he needs to earn his pay. (...which is 0)
We seem to have picked up an extra mobile theme at some point. It must've been there for months now, and I only just noticed it...
Is this the Mobile or the TWF Mobile theme? I personally find the TWF Mobile theme the only usable mobile theme. I would argue we could deprecate the other one.
Agreed there.Quote:

IMHO the main problem I have with working on the Mobile Theme, aside from the not getting to work on the updates to the Classic Blue theme, are that I own neither a smart phone, tablet, or iTouch with associated data plan to emulate what its like browsing on said devices, or be able to test any changes I'd make.Quote:

However you say the default theme renders fine for you. How is interacting with it? It must not be great for everyone, for whatever reasons, otherwise there wouldn't be a request for a Mobile Theme.
The forum theme is already pretty light on bandwidth, as it is almost all css with only a few, small images. TWF is one of the few sites i have no problem viewing with even the smallest amount of bars.
I wouldn't find the default theme usable without Opera Mini's single column mode, though, because it is too wide.
If its possible, could you upload a screenshot of the site without Opera Mini and one with Opera mini from your phone so I can take a look/compare?Quote:

You'll note the way that, by default, it will zoom out the entire page to display it all at once and let you zoom in on bits (this is common to most mobile browsers, not just opera mini). Basically, they assume a site has been designed to be looked at on a desktop, as most have, so it will pretend to be a desktop browser window around 900px wide but then zoom everything out so it fits on the device's actual screen. The user can then zoom in on the bits they want to look at. This is ok, but it means a lot of h-scrolling trying to read posts.
Opera mini has a 'single column view' that basically stacks everything on top of everything else and it works pretty well on this site but for most browsers, the above is the only way they'll behave.
You should able to prevent this behavior by adding <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, width=device-width, height=device-height, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> to the header. That way, it'll act exactly like a desktop browser with a small window.
Might be peculiar to me, but the AutoSave feature seems to be fritzy. Sometimes I can start a reply, get distracted and leave it for a while, but it's still there when I return. Other times I can be in the middle of typing a long-ish reply and it just vanishes, sending me right back to main page.
:confused:
It's on a timer. You'l see a "auto-saved" notice pop up in the lower right when it's saved. If you go through typing something and don't see it, it's not saved. The save functionality isn't meant to be relied on as a normal method of doing things, it's there as a way to help in case something bad happens, and it shouldn't be relied upon.
When you do a search and enter one of the threads returned by the search, any use of the search term within the thread is highlighted. This is a good feature, an excellent feature. In the Darkvision theme, however, the text-background color used to do the highlighting is not very different from the normal background of the theme. This is not good, not excellent at all. I only notice the color change if I've already picked out the word used in the search term and examine the background around it closely. Could the color used for the highlighting be adjusted?
How is it now?
Very clear now. Thank you.Quote:

The census thread I'm continuing to edit to keep track of members, who seem to be coming out of the woodwork to say hello, and it now seems like I've gone past that time-limit ...
It was 21 days, I've increased it to 45.
Editing posts in mobile theme removes all line breaks. And I can't switch styles from the mobile theme, because when i log in from work pc it switches to the last used theme - so if that's mobile, I can't change it without logging out again.
Oh god people are requesting features again. Damn you, Timbuk.
I'll look into yours tomorrow, Flixy. You may need to poke me.
Danke.Quote:

Mobile Default, or TWF Mobile?
TWF mobile, i think - but I can't really check since the style chooser is broken. Says mobile style by Dartho at the bottom, if that helps.
I checked, it's TWF mobile. And on my computer it the style chooser there also does not work. I'll try if the line break thing is broken there, too.Let me see... Will this be on a new line? edit: nope, it wasn't, so it's broken if you access the theme from your computer, too. Am using chrome, by the way.
Bump. still broken. Edited a post and all line breaks were removed, and the link I posted was no longer a link.
Can I just delete TWF Mobile? It is, oddly, the hardest to maintain of all the styles.
I don't see why not. Personally I hate mobile themes, any decent smartphone can render a normal theme just as easily.
Lack of objections noted. It's gone.
After logging in I got: Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.theworldforgotten.com/forum.php)
Not really a big deal, but hey, if I get to report something.. :p
Not really a request this, but I was wondering what the video tags and the button for it are actually good for, pasting a youtube link in it doesn't seem to do anything (the yt tags do work so it's not a problem).
Video tags work fine for me.
I used the button a few times and pasted the link in the pop up box but that didn't work. Maybe because I'm on my phone and generally get either m.youtube.com links or youtu.be links? Or am I supposed to post just the video ID?
It's supposed to be a full link. Here's the demo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1234567
(it's not actually a real video, but at least you see it works)
I just thought m.youtube.com etc would also count as a full link, but apparently not. Thanks for clearing that up :)
Why should IRC remain a main page forum option?
I just clicked on IRC and got a blank page.....
Works fine for me as I have an IRC client installed.Quote:
