Post Separator “Divider 2 (line)” the line should be more prominent (stronger stroke and/or across the entire post).

The day before yesterday at 6.50pm

Pet peeve of mine for the whole damn web. Could we have the date appear instead? Or at the very least, “two days ago”?

Also, I don’t see a “quote” feature, and the italics I did use do not look italicized at all, at least in the original posting box.

Also, I don’t see a “quote”

You have set the Mid Century Modern style, which uses Univers for body text, and that has horrific italics, so I changed it to a colour for emphasis. All the other ones have italics.

The quote feature is the button on the editor with a pair of inverted commas to the top left of a bunch of text, i.e. to the right of numbered list.

Maybe I’m just not seeing it but how do you get back to the list of threads underneath a board after clicking into a thread? I can see how to get back to Site New Answers and the home page, but what if I’m looking at a thread on ILE and I want to go back to the list of threads tagged to that board? Is that direct navigation path no longer there or am I blind?

Or is it just the back button on the browser?

Well that or the board link, Dan.

i.e. Keith’s Board on this one.

Thought it worth noting: email for log in is case sensitive. Most keyboards autocapatilise the first word in a box. Took me a while to figure out why I couldn’t log in

Ah right, thank you. I had not noticed. I will sort.

Well that or the board link, Dan.

Huh, I tried to click that and it didn’t seem to do anything. I’ll chalk that up to user error.

Someone else got to the case-sensitive email, which is a pain when you’re on a device that wants to capitalize everything

Are the board shortcuts in the settings working for other people? They don’t seem to work for me.

Got to say, despite being a change-hater my feelings are generally positive about most of the features over here—will have more considered feedback when I’ve got used to it, for now I’m just poking at things.

I guess the board shortcut thing is sort of similar to DJP’s issue? I thought I would solve it with the settings but it doesn’t seem to work.

I’m going back and forth between the browser and Zing and it seems like embedded threads take you out of Zing and into a browser window. I’ll do a little more fiddling to confirm.

Yeah. Only seeing this from a phone browser and have some real worries re: reactions and text size. But otherwise, cosign e.mily overall positive impression

Also missing who updated a thread in the landing page. More important than who posted imo, but please find a way to keep both!

I haven’t done much on phone browser stuff, because of Zing, so I would expect it will be a bit ropey at that size at the moment anyway.

Thanks, Emily... I can see a board shortcut in the menu okay. Happy to fix, but not sure what the issue is.

Actually let me be clearer about what I’m talking about; I don’t see a link back to the board when reading a thread on the browser. I see the icons across the top that can navigate me back to the board list or recent activity but I don’t see a direct link from here to Keith’s Board. If I click Bugs, Comments etc link, it reloads this thread.

Yes, it’s not in the menu, I mean above the thread title, e.g. “Bugs, Comments Etc.” in this case. What Emily’s talking about is that you can go in settings and pick boards you do want in the actual menu, and they’ll show left of Recent Activity.

(In Zing, the app’s back button is context sensitive, so it will go back to either Recent Activity or the thread’s parent board based on where I opened the thread from)

Oh do you mean in Zing?

Also, if you’re in a wide enough browser, there’s a breadcrumb trail on the left, but it does get removed if there’s not enough room on the screen.

That is what’s happening. On my iPhone, the board name is being removed from the display if the phone is in portrait orientation. In landscape orientation, I can see the board name.

So when I go into settings and click a board to add as a shortcut, it just zooms me up to the top of the page, then when I scroll down the box remains unticked and no shortcut added. Could be my old set-up again, but wanted to know if it was doing it to anyone else!

I am seeing ‘Keith’s Board’ etc at the top of threads (and am also on a laptop not phone), so not the same issue as DJP in fact.

That is weird, Emily—don’t know what it is at the moment and am off to Glasgow for a while so will take a look later. Sorry about that.

Dan, right, I get you now—it’s easily fixable, the context is I didn’t expect people to be using the website in a mobile browser—I expected them to be using Zing, so I did the kind of minimum to make it work there. I will sort it when back from Glasgow.

And Emily, yeah it’s supposed to have a little button on the menu for each board you have chosen to be on the menu.

Thanks Keith, no rush at all.

The quote feature is the button on the editor with a pair of inverted commas to the top left of a bunch of text, i.e. to the right of numbered list.

Gotcha.

I chose Default (Swiss) for Typography, which works on the main pages and user names, but not for the post text (or here in this editor), which is a serif. Maybe by design?

OH. It’s that guy. In the icon menu, I thought it was Reginald Van Gleason III trying to fight me.

Hmm.

Image hosters like imgbb.com or imgur don’t make it easy to grab the specific .png URL of an image. Not a complaint about the new pop-up window, but more of a “just sayin’.”

The bolding of capital letters in Book font is, uh, interesting.

VERY interesting.

Reported you for this

Hmm ok replying doesn’t really do what I expected

Not what you EXPECTED or not what you EXPECTED?

(First one is just all-caps. Second one is all-caps with the bolding.)

Oh, the new posts bounce. Like a newspaper hitting the front porch.

If the new format really has 14,500 lines of code, I’d bet that we can get that under 13,500 by the end of the week!

Also not a fan of the auto-break that happens on long words at the end of lines.

First, huge thanks for all the work you’ve out into this.

One recommendation for a UI improvement: on mobile, can the username under posts be distinguished (e.g. different colour or font size) from the post text—I keep reading usernames as if it were part of the post. Thanks!

also a supporter of having a time/date appear instead

It can even be 6 August, 21:01, or however you write it in metric.

it’s probably like Aug 6 stone kilograms or something

i like the “work” mode in the settings! i honestly didn’t realize i’d selected it and was confused why everything was grayscale (my mac is dying and figured it might be related). but it’s a good option for those browse at work, seems like a good new feature thanks

The date thing. Sorry, I’m a bit confused. Are you saying you want it to display a local date, as in your time, wherever you are in the world as a date and time, rather than some English representation of a relative time?

I’m confused because you kind of mention both, and also I’d have thought the date time is by far and away the most common around the internet.

I’m sure I can do it, I just need to be sure what you’re looking for.

Are you saying you want it to display a local date, as in your time, wherever you are in the world as a date and time, rather than some English representation of a relative time?

Yes. It can even be GMT.

I can’t remember what the day before yesterday was, but “Tuesday” would spell everything out.

Okay. The I’ll add it to the list, although please bear with me as, as you might imagine, the list is growing.

I can’t find where someone mentioned it, but there were two issues with usernames and passwords, case sensitivity and Apple’s password manager not dealing with it well... I’ve sorted the former and tried to sort the latter, although that stuff is kind of voodoo (because their browsers guess at stuff), but you can let me know if it’s made a difference or not.

Also Dan, I put the board back on the mobile view.

Currently, the only way to determine if a post has been edited is to click on it, correct?

Yes, I thought it would be too intrusive to have some kind of notifier, given 99% of edits are likely to be just typos.

No “last updated by” or am I missing it

Someone else mentioned that, (7, 4) and I’m not sure what they mean... I think it’s showing basically the same info it used to, but I must be missing something. Whereabouts are you meaning?

I’m on mobile & this is what I see on the SNA equivalent:

Recently updated threads
KB Bugs, Comments etc. Started yesterday at 2:22 pm by Keith 58 posts.
ILE The Future of Ilx Started the day before yesterday at 1:56 pm by pfunkboy of the Sandbox 41 posts, two new since you last read.
ILM Sandbox poll Started yesterday at 1:15 pm by peas, ma’am (rusty flathead screwdriver) 2 posts.

So it’s showing started by (poster) at (time) but not updated by (poster) at (time)

Ah on mobile... Right yes, that makes sense, it does hide a bunch of stuff, but basically so there’s enough space. Again, that’s not a trivial fix, because it’s basically removing the second column from the table that’s shown on a larger browser, so afraid I can’t sort that in short order. I will consider it along with the other suggestions that are in the same space. They are ordered by most recently updated though.

Worth reiterating, I assumed people on mobile would be using Zing, so haven’t done loads of tweaking there...

The ‘unfollow’ button should now not be showing for non-admin. It wouldn’t have worked anyway if you’re not an admin, but the button shouldn’t have been there.

Larry, you want to insert them either with the little paperclip icon in the menu, or just post the URLs... Don’t bother with the BBcode stuff.

Small thing here, but I just noticed that, in Dark Mode, the Giovanni Typeface doesn’t display the board names on the home page.

Also Dan, I put the board back on the mobile view.

I noticed, thanks!
