Forum Software Upgrade completed - 20th August

I noticed that when you have a lit of unread topics the images of the author are not showing. These would be in the profiles so maybe a broken link? $:-\$

And how do you Log Out? Scratch that, found out there is a drop down menu in the top left corner which deals with all that kind of thing.

Not immediately obvious Chris.
I had a look at settings accessed through my profile but nothing there did the trick.

I'm working my way through the 65 (!) places a font size is specified. Most parts of the forum interface are now bigger.

Kit

If I misspell something, and my spelling is quite poor, then the miss-spelt word is simply underlined in red. Same as it was in the old version.

Annoyingly, the one place I can't figure out how to make bigger yet is the post editor.

In other cases, making the font bigger in one place makes it bigger elsewhere you didn't really want it bigger. The style sheets are a bit of a pigs breakfast.

@NARSES2 That's done by certain modern browsers. I use that too. Kit is talking about the old manual spellcheck button, that was part of the forum itself.

Much easier to read now.

I finally found the text size for the WYSIWYG editor. Embiggened.

Quote from: overscan on August 20, 2022, 05:40:26 AM@steelpillow I agree on the default text size, I'll look into that. I think I altered the size previously on the old site.

@PR19_Kit I agree the spellcheck appears to be missing, the tickbox for it isn't where it used to be. I have installed the relevant supporting software, so might need to ask on the support forums.

Ooo! We can tag folks now?

We used to have a plugin that did that - Avatars_on_Board_MessageIndex_v2.0. Not sure if it works with the new version.

Yes @scooter - you use the at symbol and start typing their username.

Turns out the guy who wrote that made a new one for SMF 2.1 that puts user avatars everywhere. I turned off the option to replace tags of people by their avatar pic, that was... weird.

Okay guys its 2am, time for sleep I think. Quite a long session in the end!

Gondor · August 20, 2022, 07:27:24 AM

Great job @overscan that's a lot of work you have done. Avitars are showing, might have been me not noticing where they were ans some of the layout has changed a bit.
