Popular Post Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2020 Morning all. If you saw the forum was offline for over an hour this morning - it was due to a major software upgrade. The main thrust of this is around a new interface, which is why it looks rather different ! and all about enhanced security. Certain functionality has been removed, some replaced and some new, but, as with any major software upgrade it is possible there could be a few quirks ! If so post up here, some we might be able to sort, some possibly not ! Nige And the LR4x4 A&M Team 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It looks different and I don't like it. But good that we're keeping up with updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It's so white.... We have resolved this previously after an upgrade by tweaking the CSS a bit. At the moment it really burns the eyes. Also top level nav items, font is way too small. Header stripe behind site logo needs to be blue again, white leaves not enough contrast. Default font seems to make things a bit unreadable, at least to me? e.g. : Also, left/right cursor keys intermittently don't work in the editor(!), uploads, thankfully, seem fine.

Bowie69 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 If you can override the CSS with these changes, it makes the whole place a lot more palatable: .ipsNavBar_primary > ul > li > a{ font-size: 16px; } .ipsNavBar_secondary > li > a{ font-size: 15px; } .ipsBreadcrumb { font-size:13px; color: rgba( var(--theme-text_light), 1 ); } .ipsBreadcrumb [data-role="breadcrumbList"] > li:not(:first-child):last-child { opacity: 0.7; } :root { --theme-alternate_button_font: 251, 251, 251; --theme-area_background_reset: 251, 251, 251; --theme-button_bar: 251, 251, 251; --theme-header: 18, 101, 161; --theme-header_text: 251,251, 251; --theme-important_button_font: 251, 251, 251; --theme-main_nav_font: 251, 251, 251; --theme-main_nav_tab: 251, 251, 251; --theme-normal_button_font: 251, 251, 251; --theme-primary_button_font: 251,251,251; --theme-section_title: 251, 251, 251; --theme-very_light_button: 251, 251, 251; --theme-widget_title_bar: 251, 251, 251; --theme-area_background_light: 242, 245, 247; --theme-area_background: 232, 237, 242; } 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It is very, very pale / white. Not to my liking - but who am I.. I understand the need for updates - and you guys work very hard to give us this forum - but why change the looks / feel... Bon Courage !

Peaklander Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Yes I agree, lots of white space and the text could therefore be larger. Also the mobile app still doesn't show location. Is this in one of our configuration settings because it would be nice? However I appreciate that upgrades are usually for the best.

L19MUD Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Using an Android phone this now looks nicer although very white. Chrome works but very white. IE not working properly as there is no reply box under the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Windows 10 then use Edge, or Chrome, or Brave, or Firefox, all are a squillion times better than IE11. Plus it is at end of life support, essentially, see here from one of the MS bods: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/the-perils-of-using-internet-explorer-as-your-default-browser/ba-p/331732 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 This is what it would look like with above CSS fixes in place: *edited to show in PNG, as JPG compression completely killed the appearance* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Also, when trying to upload 6MB PNG, it failed, despite max total size being 20MB, is there a limit for individual files as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The screenshot above is first-pass of course, but with a bit more tweakage other offensive things like the lurid blue buttons, tiny text and wonky margins could be addressed. Could make the whole thing just a little more blue fairly easily too, just would need a little more testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear your cache, it is everywhere, and frankly not very readable.

Just the stupidly narrow new content screen left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Yes, can't work out why there is a right hand column on some screens, and some not, and why when it is empty, is it still there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I had a look with the dev tools and couldn't get rid of it, very strange. Just tried again, and looks like I can get it gone with the following: #ipsLayout_mainArea { display: block; } #ipsLayout_sidebar { display: none; } Much better now.

Bowie69 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Lovely, thank you, I have seen some pages where the RHC has some content in it, but none of it looked particularly helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
