If I want to drop the link onto my bookmarks toolbar, Iād rather see it, so I can highlight it and then copy and paste it. I realise that the full link is behind the text provided by Discourse but Iād rather see the full text up front. Why does it show ādiscourse dot bomberblitz dot comā in the text and only add the important part ā/categoriesā in the hidden text of the link ?
Thereās a control-freak aspect to Discourse, just like many other modern browser apps. Thatās why I prefer the older ones with their uncool interfaces ā they let you get on with business, without forcing you into the way their coders think you should go.
Some aspects of the new site are really good, others will take a bit of getting used to, others again Iāll never like.
Getting rid of all the nested quotations is fantastic: it will save a lot of time that was wasted trying to scroll down through 100 lines of text to finally get to the new post (often no more than a one-word insult); it will also save a helluva lot of bandwidth !
Iād prefer to have pages back though; I donāt like the new scrollbar on the RH sideā for me itās a waste of space ā but Iām on a MacBook Pro: it is probably ver handy for users of iPads.
It would be a big help if you allowed us to decide in Preferences which page weād like to have as our default home page, btw. My Bookmarks Toolbar work-around doesnāt work if you click on the logo at top left, for example.
Yes, barnz ā I know that! But itās not permanently visible: it only appears bottom left when you hold your mouse over the main text, so you canāt copy it to your clipboard, because you need the mouse for that as well.
Okay, right click, choose āCopy Link Locationā from the menu ā too much too muchā¦ The point is if youāre going to show the link in the text above the logo, it should be the whole link, not just the master part.
Has anyone else lost their access to the sponsor thread for those who put down to be sponsors and it contained all the details of how to pay?
I want to pay, but although I had access under the old thread, it doesnāt seem to be accessible (visible) for me on the new Blitz. Iāve PMād Koala, she said she would try to tag me in again, but to no avail.
Definitley agree re - the avatars. They need to be bigger, even vanilla was too small but this is smaller. Bigger avatars would help break up all the whiteness. You want to know youāre talking to people not random white boxes.
I donāt know if itās possible but I did like the old black sidebar down the right that helped break up the whiteness of everything, or perhaps it can be down the left side.
There are aspects I like of this forum, I do like the live updates and stuff. Iām sure Riolio will get it right if we give him a few weeks, itās hard to expect perfection right off the bat.
I agree re: avatars just because thereās a fair bit of white space. Not because you have to use all white space, but small extension gives avatars more prominence. For those of us who spend too much time on here, you develop a sort of subconscious association with peopleās avatars.
I agree with your sentiment. Maybe I am just getting old, but I dont see the need to have badges or statements like āeliteā next to a nameā¦I mean just because I cannot afford to donate money to a cause or sponser a player, why should people like myself be different and not be able to have titles? I reckon if you are going to have badges ones like āRookieā or āVeteranā where everyone gets a chance to achieve it is the way to go.
interesting thing with the title, I switched it on and off previously (I was regular, it looked like it was based off trust level which you earn) after the tweaks it was showing elite but after going in and selecting it again that has disappeared for me.
Also the name was showing up as a title now itās gone. Iām assuming this was a new tweak also.
The system logs me out every 5 minutes if I access it via MBA, but all day is OK via Mac Pro. On Mac Pro, the āicon linkā does not work so the only way to get back to the list of topics is to click in the URL space and hit reload.
Also I canāt see how to make a post without āreplyingā to someone. That is why I am replying to you when it is not relevant to your commentā¦
Edit: AFTER I posted this, the general āreplyā became availableā¦
And honestly, ā¦ if you zoom your browser to 110%, ā¦ they actually appear larger, ā¦ & CLEARER, than they did on Vanilla. (When Vanilla was at 110%)
