it's literally the first thing in account settings when it you go there, main 'Overview' page of it, first thing is name with an option on the right to change

if you can't change it you might need to pay for a supporting account, or just whine like a bitch like Eugene until JR does it to just shut you up ?

Joyrex: I don't have the option to react to diatoms posts on this page for some reason? all other users/posts seem to have that option, but his two posts don't, not sure if this has come up and I haven't noticed.

You aren't reactable either.

Does your page look like this?

Also, eugene is being facetious, but mostly snotty.

I think Joyrex mentioned that only Knob Twiddlers and Knob Twiddlers Plus have that option. That may be the issue.

hadn't seen that before, but it was already checked on, so I guess that's not the issue?

wasn't trying to imply you were bitching, just Eugene ? ^Braintree's suggestion may be another thing to check? likely just need to pay for a subscription tho.

Yeah you have to pay for a subscription, I took the member plus and could change my name, no need for the EKT/EKT+ package if you don't feel like purchasing it :beer:

Also : the ability to "autocomplete" emojis/smileys within the editor is awesome haha

some general css feedback:

* block quotes looks indistinguishable from normal text. suggested fix: give the css class .ipsBlockquote same styling as .ipsQuote. see an example of block quotes current styling here: https://forum.watmm.com/topic/92805-4-to-the-floor-appreciation-thread/

* embedded content is now 100% wide. it takes forever to scroll down a forum post like (https://forum.watmm.com/topic/96885-stompin39-industrial-acid-or-gabber-music/) because of the huge videos. suggested fix: provide a maximum width for <iframe>, <video> and  maybe also <img> and <object> less than 100%

Yeah, would be nice to perhaps have a similar dropdown as the featured artists for all the subforums.

Looks and seems to work alright. A couple of minor gripes:

  • a darker theme, especially the message body is too bright for my taste
  • move the name of the poster in the quote box heading to the front instead of the time it was posted
  • the search doesn't seem to work, or is that a known issue already..or then i don't know how to use it...some results do come up, the active ones I guess

I used to go to the unread content page with the keyboard shortcut Alt+2 but it does not seem to work anymore and now it's driving me nuts. Is there some new keyboard shortcut?

No complaints so far. It might even be faster, not quite sure.

That said:

Has someone complained about the editor yet? In Safari (desktop) I get invisible buttons in the bar with edit buttons (meaning whatever images / text are on those buttons don't show up).

oof just tried the TH theme, no thanks. IP Board pls.

By 'looks like ass' re: the mobile version. It doesn't go all the way to the edges of the screen and everything is way too spaced out vertically too. Way more scrolling needed just to read one post. Lots of wasted space.

I always thought of it as a 'sage' green...

There’s too much padding and wasted space on the mobile site. Otherwise it looks great. Replying to posts on mobile is a thousand times better

If you're on the WATMM Classic theme - that still needs adjusting; try the Tomorrow's Harvest theme and see if that's better space-wise.

so whatever happened to the recent posts tab that was there yesterday? that seemed rlly useful imo

"tab"? There's a sidebar and the Recent Posts box at the top of the forum index page...

It's been mentioned, but if you would kindly consider a subscription to support the forum, then you can have that ability. The name change was due to the forum conversion and if it bothers you that much and cannot or do not want to support the site, PM me and I can change it for you.

As mentioned, you must be a paying subscriber to change your name, but since the forum upgrade did this I will honour requests for a limited time.

You know - you're starting to get annoying to the point I really don't see the need to tolerate you any longer...

The reactions thing is a known issue and I am working on getting it sorted out.

I am changing it so there are no negative rep points

On 5/4/2019 at 6:16 PM, logakght said:

i feel in china with that shit of reacts affecting your rep

Yeah, really doesn't fit this community and is going to change.

I'm assuming this is on the WATMM Classic theme (the block quotes) - thank you for the feedback.

RE: embedded videos - I think I can set a max-width for them so they don't expand to huge proportions. Please note the forum itself is set to 85% width so adjusting your browser window will also help in that regard.

I'm assuming you mean other forums, as the Featured Artists has a dropdown to go to each of their respective subforums...

I can do this - I don't think it will impact the menus overall

Working on both a minimalist dark theme as well as darkening WATMM Classic a bit. Try Tomorrow's Harvest theme in the interim.

RE: quote header order: this should be doable, but would mean changing it for every theme as the forum software by default is in that format. Might not be worth the effort vs benefit.

RE: search - can you give examples of what you're searching for? Please note the forums are still reindexing, so that might be why it appears not to work.

Ha! I didn't even know that was an option! I have no insight about any known keyboard shortcuts.

Can you provide a screenshot here? I can test on my Mac at home as well.

What kind of theme are you looking for? Might give me some direction on what people want in themes in general.

The 'wasted space' issue with WATMM Classic on mobile has been noted... many times. Thanks for the feedback!
