Joyrex Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 still think that the OP's username should be more evidenced in the main page. i know i'm not the only one. You mean the forum index, or the first page of a topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 btw Joyrex, is it possible to implement some kind of super-lightweight theme that minimises the number of page elements/images? something similar to the mobile theme but for desktop use. I'd like to continue browsing watmm at work but the internet access costs here are pretty high. Sounds like an XLT skin. That would be fun! Bringing XLT back from the dead at watmm... ;d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 yes, the forum index. more evidenced and visible avatar thumbnail... Could you post a screenshot? Still not sure what you're on about. WATMM Classic fluid-width skin is borked again. this happens like every week now. Ah, I'll check it and fix it if that's the case. these updates are always breaking the cache system. btw Joyrex, is it possible to implement some kind of super-lightweight theme that minimises the number of page elements/images? something similar to the mobile theme but for desktop use.

Bringing XLT back from the dead at watmm... ;d Well, the main place you get a lot of page loads is the avatars themselves... most of the skins are pure CSS (the default skin and the WATMM Classic skin are not though). I'm testing out a skin right now, and I know there is a similar one that is iPad friendly, so that might be the compromise you're seeking...

No, I mean what you're referring to - I still don't understand exactly what part of the UI you're referring to that needs more emphasis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest isaki Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 you could implement that bar at the very left, where the stars are (well, stars or circles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltoi Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 images in posts show as dots or full stops until they load properly. what's the dealio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 images in posts show as dots or full stops until they load properly. what's the dealio? That's a new experiment with "lazy loading" where images load after the HTML has fully rendered, hopefully speeding up page load times and reducing overall strain on the server with requests.

encey Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I was just about to post something about that -- I can totally deal, but the result in an image-heavy thread is that when you go to newest post, then the pics all load and the post you meant to start on is way back down the page because once the images load it shifts all the texts back upward, which is kind of irritating (but again, something I can live with).

Joyrex Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 I honestly haven't noticed any difference myself (either way) - I'll see as far as page load times are concerned, and if there's no appreciable difference, I'll disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Just some fun... switch to any theme other than "WATMM Classic" if it bothers you. It will probably go away tomorrow at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adieu Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Can't embed youtube videos or images using the new skin. Changed to the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Also, whenever there is an event like BOC stream, or Autechre broadcast, CHATMM always gets full. Is there anyway that we could either up the limit, or have another chatroom be created when there is an expectation for high traffic such as featured artists events? Just from what I've seen I think 30 might be sufficient, but it will also be very chaotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
