October 2020 Site Refresh

[closetojumping 62,747]

I'm sure this is addressed somewhere and I didn't see it, so apologies, but on my PC, I can't see or click on tweets and actually get to the tweet. It's fine on mobile, just not on PC view. How do I remedy this?

[Hate 20,115]

The unread view on Tapa is not refreshing again.

can you add a link on the bottom bar or somewhere to get to the surly cookie checker (tm)?

[Biff Tannen 45,691]

Can we change the "trophy" rep to Winner instead of Thanks?  That's how I use it anyway.

[immamac 42,867]

So I have done a round of tweaks to the theme on the test site. 

http://www.test.surlyhorns.com/board/

Can you guys tell me things that are needed still before I migrate the changes over here? There are some changes that I have no control over like moving the edit and options button to the top right of every post in the menu. Visually though everything is fixable in theory. 

A few things missing:

Post numbers (plugin doesn't work)

Rep icon too translucent

No auto scroll to top (replaced by dock on mobile)

Background images not the same. 

No "zebra style" alternation in thread lists

Post page button too light, should match old one. 

 

 

 

[NWBuck 8,571]

Seems like I'm unable to automatically go to the first unread post when I click on the topic... Is there a way setting I'm missing? 

It also seems like the no avatar option merely shows the same avatar for everyone rather than not showing any. 

(primarily using mobile if that makes a difference)

^ From the Borked thread. He said he'll try to fix the no avatar thing tomorrow.

Tits up. 

[elfenix 34,318]

on new default white theme. can this text color be changed to white?  this is difficult to read.

 

 

[TonyTexas 10,516]

Is there a font size option on mobile?  If so, where is it?

[immamac 42,867]

It's in the customizer menu. Top of the screen looks like a toggle switch next to the lightbulb. Brings up a menu one is for large text.

Probably. There's some weird shit where the same variable gets used in weird places this font should be fixable though. 

[Blotto 23,559]

Mobile site seems jacked up

[NorthLoop 14,215]

So how do I have it to where I only see one link for the same thread, instead of multiple? See the Urban Meyer shit below.

Sorry didn't use that view much before. What should it be doing? Just a view of threads you've participated in but sorted updated most recently?

There should only be one line/link that says Urban Meyer blah blah... I don't need a link for every new post on my list. Just a link to the thread.

This.

[Vic Mackey 47,086]

Where do I go to get rid of avatars?

[XYZ 2,154]

The “surly main - no avatar” theme shows avatars.

[gyroprotagonist 2,594]

can we still turn off avatars?  cannot find that option anywhere

guess i should read the post above

Edited December 14, 2020 by gyroprotagonist

[immamac 42,867]

It should be fixed for no avatars. working on the search lists.

[Vic Mackey 47,086]

Where do we go to switch themes to get no avatars? 

[blacklab 11,941]

bottom left of page, choose a no avatar theme

[SquishMitten 10,415]

How do you cancel a post? When I quote someone or when I start a new post and then decide not to submit it, there doesn't seem to be any option other than to submit (other than refreshing the page). 

[BigHorn'13 3,370]

I'm guessing fluid view is so you don't have to refresh for new posts? How do you do that magic?

[immamac 42,867]

Fluid is for looking at all threads from all boards like a feed. 

Next to the new post button there are 3 icons. The rightmost one is fluid.

Gotdamnitpeople. I've asked this question like 5 times over the past year, and nobody has ever answered. Am I the only one with this problem? Am I enormously stupid and the answer is so obvious that nobody even understands what I'm asking?

 

Also, is there a way that you return to where you left off after making a post rather than going to your new post? It works like that on tapa for me, but not desktop.

Unfortunately, that’s pretty much it. I usually just click on the last post above to refresh, then Clear Editor in the reply box. 

[immamac 42,867]

Yeah. It's stupid. I hate it when it brings in embedded links and you can't reset. I can see if I can build a custom button to do it like the cookie checker and put it on the editor. 

[SquishMitten 10,415]

OK. Thanks! Felt like I was taking crazy pills

[Prepuce of Doom 21,080]

Shit looks good and works well after getting over my natural dislike of change - thanks, @immamac

 

One thing I've noticed is that when typing out a post of any length (longer than this post to this point), the text bix doesn't scroll down, so I'm typing all of this without being able to see it. 

I can manually scroll down every time I lose sight like a carriage return om am old typewriter, but that gets old

 

Maybe it's a function of my SwiftKey keyboard (or Chrome), but I didn't have this issue prior to the site refresh. 

Minor issue, but if it can eventually be fixed, then I'm sure it would be welcome. 

 

[CooterBrown 18,015]

Can the line dividing the first new post from the old posts be changed back to black? The gray is impossible to see when you're paging down to find the first new post.

 

[Captainant 27,680]

It's a minor quibble, but I've noticed that tweet embeds leave a giant white block of space which sticks out real bad in the Surly Dark theme

[956 Worldwide 34,715]

Having image posting issues on iOS.  Posting an invitation ImgBB link just gets the url, and the insert image from URL box just turns red and does nothing. Suggestions?

Never mind. Figured it out.  I’m an idiot.
