auxien Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 weird blurring on the thread numbers....look blurred/doubled I guess (zoomed in pic) (happens on Edge and Chrome) speaking of blur, watmm logo atop the site looks a bit blurry now,, maybe more pronounced since everything else looks so clean.

Brisbot Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Does the forum still have that useful feature where if you post a second post within like 5 minutes it'll just combine it with the previous one? I haven't noticed it if it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean... I am assuming this is the 'WATMM After Dark' skin (might be on other skins too) - looks like there is a drop shadow of some sort on the non-active pagination numbers. Yes, the WATMM logo (which is about to change) has a outer glow applied to it, which is why it looks blurry - I'm hoping I can use an SVG instead of a PNG, but I think I just need to make an @2x version so it will scale correctly on HiDPI screens. 8 hours ago, Brisbot said: Does the forum still have that useful feature where if you post a second post within like 5 minutes it'll just combine it with the previous one? I haven't noticed it if it has. Yes it does - the setting is 2 minutes. Let's see if the new addon fixes the SoundCloud embeds: YAAAS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htor Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 maybe a detail, but i can't help but notice the quite long FOUC [1] appearing whenever i load a watmm page. there is about 400 kb of css and 750 kb of js loaded in <head>. all of the script tags loads the js synchronously. it may slow down the page rendering, since all scripts must be fetched, parsed and executed before even parsing <body>. maybe loading some scripts not needed at once with `<script src=''.." async>` could solve the issue? or putting some right before </body>. another method to patch the fouc issue is to provide a small inline <style> tag containing a minimal set of needed styles (basic layout, resets, colors, empty/placeholder styling) for the page on load time. this inline stylesheet is applied immediately, so the flashing effect is reduced when the rest of styles are applied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution: Use a standard browser like Chrome - I cannot ever remember seeing FOUC (Flash of unstyled content, which is what @htor is showing in his screenshot, where all the supporting scripts are still loading while the HTML that makes up the page has already loaded) since the forum upgrade, or prior for that matter - all joking aside about Firefox, could it be your settings (are you forcing no cache, although so am I), or possibly the quality of your internet connection (I see you're on wireless). There are some optimizations I can do, but for the core scripts that drive the forum, that is more under the vendor's control. I'm pretty active on the vendor's support forums, and I don't recall seeing any other users reporting this issue. Thanks for the helpful suggestions though in potentially solving it! I think the 'skeleton' loading method is best to handle FOUC for script-heavy apps like this from a user experience perspective. 1 hour ago, hello spiral said: suggestion: make me mod Today's forecast for Hell, lower ninth circle district: Hot, no signs of any hard freezes happening anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrelated: Is there a way to link the pop-up notifications to affect the notifications icon? I've clicked the pop-ups to redirect to the thread indicated, but it leaves the notice on the icon until I click it. Probably a personal preference, but effectively doing the same thing twice to clear notifications is a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a personal preference, but effectively doing the same thing twice to clear notifications is a thing. Yeah, that's unfortunately something I noticed too (it's a default feature). No way that I know of to "turn off" the notification icon if you've already responded to a notification. I'm looking into why you cannot be repped, as I suspect this affects others as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 I figured it out - because you had subscribed to EKT Plus and downloaded our compilation, WATMM Volume 1, it put you into a secondary group (so you could digitally download the compilation). That group was excluded from receiving reputation/reactions, and I guess that secondary group permission bubbled up to your primary group permission and took the route of least privilege. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
