UI Changes - 14/08/2020
-
I just applied a couple of CSS changes. If you do a refresh you'll get the new look
Main reasons:
- More structure on the topic page without losing space. It's easier to tell when one posts ends and another starts
- The layout is the same on normal and dark modes
- Consistency across browsers (hopefully.. firefox looked different than chrome before)
- I think it looks better
There's probably a few bugs. I'll fix them as a I see them
-
@Duluth Looks great, much easier to read IMO. Posts are better seperated.
-
Any chance you can do a screen grab of what it should now look like on desktop? I can't see difference at this stage?
-
@Hooroo It'll take a few browser refreshes to "take". Each post will be a white card, it'll be an obvious change.
-
Are you on dark mode? That's mostly the same.

Yes mate. Dark mode as I'm not a psychotic dentist
-
I can see the subtle changes now. The "X new posts" posts banner is now elliptical and looks heaps cooler
-
I really like it guys
-
Quote bubble looks better.

Yeah, I just refreshed a thread after opening a few threads and it didn't change until the refresh.
Damn, it took me a month to get used to the last change.
-
Looks bloody awesome. Not often you get a UI change and your first thought is not 'omg wtf have they done!?'
-
Imgur video links don't embed anymore. Think this broke a couple of months ago.

Ok, I think that was a plugin that stopped working. I’ll find another fix
-
@Duluth Cheers.
-
I like it
-
Looks clean. Good stuff team.
-
Girls do this too when we get bored of how things look..
I like it, fresh!
-
@Duluth - the "like" chevron stays grey (Dark mode) when I've upvoted something. Before it used to go the same medium blue as the "Submit" button and stick. Have accidentally removed my upvote a couple of times.
-
@NTA Thanks.. I'll have a look tomorrow
-
Fixed? A refresh should be enough to get the change
-
-
Two minor things.
When someone replies but doesn't quote is it possible to click a link back to the referenced post? (Just had to scroll back three pages to find what @dogmeat was referring to in @canefan 's post about Charlie ... my memory is not that good). Or am I missing some functionality? When I click on the @ username it takes me to that user's profile.
I think I've mentioned before the latest upgrade that the maximise/full screen mode for videos isn't available. Is that something that can be fixed?
Thanks much.

What was he referring to? My memories not that good either but I didn't bother.

That hasn't changed. Click the name in the top row of the post
eg just the name part of this text
(edit - I think it's always been hidden at phone size, it should be visible in landscape mode on the phone)

nodebb made some security changes that impacted a few embeds. Last time I looked I wasn't able to fix

Just tried it, excellent function and I now know what @dogmeat was on about (this could be a whole new thing for me). How long has that worked? Expecting answer - 20 years - and making me look like an idiot - again.
Bummer about the full screen as sometimes the vids seem to be cropped and that used to fix it.

4 years
It's never been very discoverable. I think I noticed it after two years..

The cropped ones are just facebook portrait mode videos? I think full screen works on that?
It's just the youtube fullscreen button won't enable (no matter what option I try). It used to work, it broke in January

Don't think that it has worked on any that I have tried from memory, but I wouldn't have paid much attention to where they were from.

none of the embedded posts are working for me on Chrome...works on my android phone though.
-
But it was working yesterday? There haven’t been any changes in the last few days
-
@Duluth I think so...the days have all melted into one lately...
actually yes, they were working yesterday as I had to jump onto laptop to re-post a FB link that didnt work from my phone...
-
@taniwharugby hah that's exactly what I do.

Must be a phone thing. Not working for me. Will see if laptop works over the weekend.

Did that fix it itself?

I've partially fixed the facebook ones
Unfortunately I had to use embedly (which slows things down and adds their logo etc). However the aspect ratio is correct even for videos taken by retards in portrait mode. The full screen button works too
-
@Duluth not sure, haven't been back on that laptop...Will check and let you know.
-
@Duluth all good now, although quoted embedded Youtube looks different to what it used to
