New Layout Feedback

[MagnarTheGreat]

Needs code to recognize both x.com and twitter.com embedding. In his infinite(ly bad) wisdom Musk has changed that website’s name and mission.

Twitter is now x.com officially, Elon Musk announces complete domain transition

Elon Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022 and changed its name to X. Not just that, he also replaced the company’s iconic bird symbol with a new X logo.

If you change x to Twitter it should still work

Thanks.

just a quick suggestion...I think when we type links into our posts, the link should be underlined or bolded by default to indicate there is a link in the text.

for example here unless you hover over me, you won't know that I put a link to it

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Yeah I've been manually underlining links with code ever since the forum update. It's an additional step that isn't normally necessary.

Twitter's move to X borked a few of my addons but I've managed to mostly mitigate the problem. The move to X is going to be an experiement in how to lose brand recognition though.

We've needed that for a while.

ohhhhhh wow this issue's been known to happen? how come it hasn't been fixed yet?

Not within my control, sadly.

I think the fact everyone still calls it twitter has proven the experiment to be a failure already.

Agreed, seriously.

Last time I tried to fix this (when we migrated) it made EVERY link on the site underlined including fixed UI elements.

The stock theme of this site was not very well put together, that it works as well as it does right now is mostly after me kicking it in the nuts every once in a while.

TBH I'd have prefered they just use an off the shelf theme and let me tweak it. Right now it's some mangled thing I've been trying to unmangle every once in a awhile.

Musk should just sell Twitter to someone that knows what they're doing.

dang. well, thanks for trying to fix it. in the grand scheme of things, it isn't a big deal, but it's just one more technical issue to the myriad of technical issues going on here.

to your bolded point, I know I am gonna sound like a broken record but I hope the higher ups change their minds about allowing additional skins. I will forever be a supporter of the vote busty skin

I think I fixed links, the red may be a bit much I could go with blue instead?

 

[Kane52630]

Light blue might be good, like this one:

Hex: 00b0f0

 

[squeekness]

Looks great!!!!

thank you!

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I think the link color has at least these three preferable possibilities

A) Match the default theme color for red: #87060C
B) Match the default theme color for blue: #003956
C) the HTML default

 

[Super Kal]

Meh, is what I think... but then again, the last layout I remember was in 2005/2006, and last time I posted anything here was I think maybe 2012 2011, can't really remember... but it's been a while... I'm just not a big fan of change.

 

[nachtschicht]

More noticeable links, awesome

I do wish we could still remove/minimize all that nonsense on the right (although I did have to re-do that every single day). I'm sure someone uses it, for me it's a waste of space.

I was gonna say it cuts off links that are in a box, but it doesn't actually. Why are those boxes so small/not dynamic lol.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

was the website down for a little while?

Yeah, I kept getting "504 Gateway Timeout" whenever I tried to go to the forums.

 

[blueharvest]

Also, there's a message at the top of the page that explains what happened.

there is a little typo in the word "inconvenience" there but it's all good 🤘🏽

I still think some would benefit from the new alerts in the "Alerts" pull down menu being a light color instead of a light shade of grey. Maybe it's just my eyes (a real possibility), but I don't see a lot of contrast between the old alerts I've looked at and the new ones that I haven't.
