I do like how they have made the names bolded and larger font I tend to prefer a darker theme early morning, as my eyes can't handle looking at too much white in the morning. Later in the day, I usually use a modified black-on-white setting because the dark themes get more difficult for my eyes to read as the day goes on. Yeah, I got weird eyes. I did just now notice the following being shown when a bit of time goes by between two posts: Hmmm highlight doesn't work worth a crap on the dark theme version Link to post Share on other sites

Says "just joined" or something when moused over. Where do you see that? This is what I see for someone that has made only one post - so definitely a 'Newbie': Though I did go look up their profile and even though their first post was yesterday, their Forum join date shows as mid-August. Maybe that is why there is no orange hand. Edited September 18, 2020 by LittleMe Jewell Link to post Share on other sites

This is what I see for someone that has made only one post - so definitely a 'Newbie': I saw it on someone's icon yesterday, but not today. If they're still fiddling around, it would be great if they took that informative sidebar for posts with a bunch of replies off mobile devices. It's not a big deal on a 27" monitor, but a quarter of the screen on an iPad is a lot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Kimmi Zehetbauer 1,255 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Some other mboards using the same forum software got updated. Invision recently rolled out some new things and we're seeing them as board owners update their sites. Link to post Share on other sites

Still waiting on Hug, Disagree & Dislike 10 hours ago, Mollymews said: on reactions if Linden were to change reaction types then I think some readers would also like a way to not see reactions at all also I think some would like more finer reaction blocking control, like not show reactions from people they have blocked and show the others The problem with negative reactions is they're generally used to troll and harass. Blizzard had to remove them from their forums entirely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Blizzard had to remove them from their forums entirely. Ah, but people being people have found a way to turn a positive into a negative for trolling. This forum is rife with scorn laughs. So much so that I feel sometimes compelled to explain, after the fact, to someone I've responded to tell them it is NOT a scorn laugh. And yep, I've done the occasional scorn laugh. I tend to do scorn "sads" though. Link to post Share on other sites
Orwar 18,084 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm not a fan of the visual changes. I'm sure I'll get used to it in time, but for now it just appears alien. As far as reactions go, I feel like most of them are superfluous already. If you don't like or agree with what someone is saying, you're free to inform them of this. If you want to show your support, clicking a 'hug' button just feels lazy. Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a couple of "Newbies" yesterday, one with only 1 post and no hand, but they did have Rep points from the post. ETA: Nope, just disproved that theory. ETA: With more research, it seems to be specifically related to when the Forum account was created. Those designated as Newbies with only 1 post but where the Forum account was created months/years ago, do not get the orange hand.

Hopefully this time black/grey text will be readable. That's the main reason I kept the old light theme on and used my own extension to control everything.

Indeed Ublock is a great plugin to have installed and when combined with Foxreplace (or similar utilities) any website/forum can be totally personalized these days to someones preference up to the level of which threads/posts/photos/features/words or even users will be shown or will be totally removed without much effort. Plus all the nasty ads are gone. Link to post Share on other sites
