Big Update Thread

[Roz]

I’m most annoyed at the colors of my preferred skin changing lol

[MisterBoring]

@Roz Wait, there are skins? Where?

[Roz]

@MisterBoring They used to be in your user profile, which they may still be, but now they’re also more accessible: there’s a paintbrush icon on the bottom left in the menu bar, and it’ll bring up a quick skin picker.

[MisterBoring]

OMG that’s awesome. Thanks for the pointer.

[Jennkryst]

It’s always sending me to the top of the thread instead of the last post I read, but I could be doing the thing wrong.

Edit: okay so now that I’ve said that it’s stopped, maybe it’s only when there’s new post?

[Faraday]

Does anybody know if/how you can make the buttons and stuff be across the top instead of the side, before I spend a bunch of time hunting for it?

[Roz]

@Faraday From what I can find, it looks like NodeBB built an entirely new default theme for v3 rather than continue to iterate on the old one. From this Github, I did find this:

For the v3.x release line, Persona will be a supported theme bundled with NodeBB, but will not be active by default.

So possibly the old style could be turned on?

[MisterBoring]

Would that old style be a per user option or a “we all go back to the old style together” situation?

Beyond using this forum, I have no experience with NodeBB.

Changed themes from the default since other people seemed to hate it as much as I do. Bar is back on top.

[MisterBoring]

Aww shucks, I didn’t hate the new layout…

[Tez]

@MisterBoring I changed themes bc everyone everywhere hated it and no one at all liked the new layout. I definitely didn’t take the fact that a few early voices agreed with my bias against it to excuse changing. Absolutely no one anywhere at all expressed approval of it.

[Pavel]

I can still see posts I don’t like or disagree with. This update sucks.

[MisterBoring]

@Tez I’m not broken up about it.

Did the fonts used change too?

[Gashlycrumb]

I don’t care what it looks like, but is there a skin where the page-up/page-down button does not cover up the drop-down to edit or delete your post when your post is the last one?

Edited to add that this is fixed, perhaps by magic.

[KarmaBum]

Not a bug. Just to say thanks for updating things.

You’re appreciated.

[Lemon Fox]

It’s not a bug, but the very, very slight color difference between quotes and posts makes my eyes hurt when there are several on screen at once. Is there a way to change that?

[Pavel]

@Lemon-Fox The colours themselves are skin dependent, which can be found in the User Settings section (click/tap your picture at the top, then ‘Settings’). But from my limited testing, all the skins seem to have some level of difference between quote and post body.

[Jumpscare]

Cyborg is the only darkish theme I found that also has dark quote boxes.
