Yup that did it. Thanks for the tip!

I think I've fixed the ad problem.   The mobile version shouldn't extend out past the width of your screen anymore.  It was the ad that was extending out, but I've changed the ad to be responsive, seems to have fixed it.

I'm not sure if it's only me,  but on my desktop all videos are s howing at 100% of the screen width... previous to the update it would not do this,

There was an overhaul to the embed functionality with the 4.2 release. New setting to cap the width of embeds.  I've set it to 1200 px.  This is really going to be monitor dependant (though it will auto scale down if you have a smaller screen)   This won't change previously embedded content, only new content.   Let me know if 1200 looks too large as well.

I like the new look... one piece of feedback would be that I find that there isn't enough contrast between the current page number indicator and the rest of the page numbers.  Might just be my monitor, but I feel like I have to look at it a little too closely to see which page I'm on.

All in all, fantastic work.

I'm finding the black text on the grey background harder to read than the old version. Maybe a lighter grey?

Just an update, these haven't been forgotten and are still on my radar with a couple of other tweaks I'm working on that I'd like to make (like the background image showing on tweets).  There about a billion customization options with no instructions of what they all mean, so it is a bit trial and error of changing one or a couple of things and trying to figure out how it affects the site.

Rich, while this stuff is on your mind ... a couple of versions ago, MBB would track where you were in reading a thread and would automatically take you to the last unseen comment when you clicked on the thread title.  Is that something that can be restored?  It makes it way easier to follow threads.

thanks for all your work!

It never went away, they just changed how it works.  If you have a thread with new posts that you haven't read yet, there is a circle that appears on the left side of the thread.  If you click the circle, it will take you to the first unread post.

This works on both desktop and mobile.

Hey guys. Really trying not to be critical and I certainly appreciate all you do to make this work so I can get my bomber fix every day.

 

but the new layout seems kind of strange to me. Maybe it's just my phone but now I have "favourite pizza places" and the movies thread with the blue bomber stuff. Did you guys get rid of the general discussion and just make it all one forum?

 

edit... a little bit of re reading goes a long way. Figured out how to change it back ?

No, it is still the new site.  Just been tweaking it. 

I really like it.

I found this setting, but it turns out it also puts a box in the header to show where you are.  See the box around the Forums link in the header right now.

I tried the blue but it doesn't look any better then the black that is there right now.  The box was hidden before because it was gold on gold.

I don't really care for the box in the header.  Curious what other people think.

Mmmm ... I don't like it either and MORNING BIG BLUE is blocking half of FORUMS.

I agree that the box in the header is ugly.  I was actually referring to the page numbers at the top and bottom of the threads though (unless it's the same setting).  It appears to stand out much more now though.

There is something weird going on with specific poster notifications.  Like if I try to say something to someone it doesn't work @Rich

Did you get that notify ^ ?

Oh well it worked when I edited.  But when I make a post, I type the @ and select a name, it looks okay.  But then then it gets stripped when I click save.

It looks like a core IP Board bug, not related to the theme.  I will have to report it to them.'

 

Edit:  Maybe not, I can get it to work if I go back to the default theme, let me know if you got this notification.  @Atomic

Yeah.  It's the same setting. 

Ok, in that case my vote is to put it back to gold.... I find the box in the top banner to be somewhat distracting.

 

Another note, I really like how the banner at the top is always there.  I didn't like how it used to disappear (specifically the notifications).  Keep up the good work Rich

Enjoying the tweaks for the most part. One little thing I've noticed....when I'm on mobile (and only mobile).....there is only an option to mark the entire messageboard (all forums) as read. I can't just mark the individual forum as read.....

I thought that too, but then found that option near the bottom, above the Twitter feed. It would be nice if it was at the top.
