Pfrsantos little corner of complaints

[pfrsantos]

Following last post's editing test, I'll add myself as an editor and see if it does anything...

[pfrsantos]

These links in the main page are not working:
Community Links
Multitool.Org
EDC-TV

Awlso, the copy/paste kept the Multitool.Org link but lost the EDC-TV (*)

I keep having to log back in. Isn't there a "keep logged in" feature we (you) could enable?

(*) think I figured it out. Having a xxx.Org (maybe awlso a xxx.Com, xxx.Edu and so on automatically creates a link function on the string).

Testing to make sure I didn't break something

Fixing the annoying floating footer now (hopefully) and then putting the light/dark switch on every page so you don't have to open threads to find it.

[root]

The Main Site at Multitool.Org is offline and has been for a while, so that's why that link doesn't work.

The EDC-TV link doesn't work because it's .com and not .org, so that's an easy fix.

GearFeed is working, so that's an easier fix.

Need to add SAKWiki as well.

Let's see how the quoting looks like now.

Kinda weird. You get a small font line with the initial part of the post quoted on top and then the full quoted post below.

Isn't it a waste of space?

@pfrsantos

Yeah, I haven't really gotten to the quoting issue yet, which is why you haven't seen anything change there significantly.

It's definitely on the list though.

How's this for quotes now?

How indeed ?

Have to scroll up to find the submit button. 🫤

@root On mobile for the first time in a while. Is the floating post counter bar new ? It's a bit distracting.

The color theme is an improvement IMO

I'll admit, I have been concentrating mostly on desktop for the moment, with only occasional checks on mobile.

I suppose I'm this day and age I should be doing it the other way around. Mobile has to work because many people don't have it use laptops most of the time.

[root]

Signature area should be smaller now. I can go a bit smaller if need be.

[SteveC]

@root Is it possible to move the Discard - Submit buttons to the bottom of the reply window ?

[root]

Testing reply bar at the bottom of the page

[Defender]

I am not seeing anything floating on mobile.

Can you be more specific, and possibly share a screenshot or two?

That would be very helpful.

[SteveC]

@Defender

The blue bar with the post numbers. On the desktop the number of the post is in the header.

[root]

Okay, I liked that, but if it's a pain I'll see if I can remove it too.

[Defender]

The bar should be gone now. I don't see it on my phone.

[SteveC]

@Defender

Not really a pain, I just thought it was a bit distracting. Any way to put the post number in the header like on the desktop version ?

Having the submit button at the bottom is a good improvement

[SteveC]

Looking at our current mobile I guess we don't have post numbers either.

One thing I've noticed that we are missing here is when we are replying it would be good to be able to scroll up to look at the previous posts. We are able to do that on the current forum. This is handy if you need to review what you are responding to, also allows you to add post quotes.
