Which checkboxes are marked?
 
Thunderfall is looking at that right now.




Boy, that took me a while to find where that is defined. Fixed.

Looking good on mobile too!
 
Okay, that's super strange. I got a notification of a reply to my comment about the Similar Threads block, but I don't see that post in this thread.

I don't see my previous comment, either :confused:


Edit: Ah, found it -- the topic got split off to a separate thread
 
I also notice that you do not seem to be able highlight or Bold words in posts you've quoted anymore. You can still add and delete text in quotes thought.
Okay, that also took a while. The "Editor selection background" colour has been adjusted, should be fixed now.
 
On mobile:

— No more page numbers?
— Thread titles seem to take up a lot more real estate than they did before.

General grumble: Facebook-style “like” icon. Feels like we should be… not… that.
 
I had an issue for a while after the update, where everything related to the forums were coming up as "page not found" on the site. Could not even get to this thread to mention it. Waited a bit to see if it would clear up on its own, but eventually started going through basic troubleshooting, and the problem went away as soon as I defeated the catch related to the site in my Browser. So problem is solved, but I thought you might want to at least know about it. Since it was an issue. I am using Firefox as my browser.

It was most probably due to DNS changes that was done to re-point the sub-domain to the new IP address. It could take 15 to 30 minutes for the DNS change to propagate.
 
Alerts thingy needs to be clicked on whereas before i just hovered the cursor over it for the list to drop down.
Not really an issue, more of an annoyance.
 
When I rapidly scroll on my current iOS iPhone 12 the top bar flickers. Reddit doesn’t have the top bar follow you.
 
There are some things I already like I’m not trying to be a hater. But the things I dislike aren’t small things. The goal as a user of the forum is to want to continue reading the current thread I am in, undistracted and fully focused, to completion or rapidly for key information. 20 years here this December, I’m not against change, I’m 100% for the quality of this place.
 
This is a small one that I noticed also appears on XenForo's own forum. If I am focused on something other than a text box, and press the "1" key, it redirects me to the home page (civfanatics.com).

I would love to be able to disable that, as I have the "1" key set to my change-tab key. Thus, if I have a few tabs up, and I press "1" to change tabs, the tab I switch to switches back to civfanatics.com.

(Vivaldi user with the tab-switching shortcuts, but the same thing happens if I press 1 in Firefox. Not sure why it seems to be a XenForo default, it was annoying when reading XenForo's forum trying to learn how to create themes, too)

----

Aside from that, great job getting things up and running so quickly! I truly didn't expect to see that the migration was already done when I checked after getting home tonight. There's a few edges to smooth out, but so far it seems to pretty much be working.
 
The replacement Modern CFC theme has very harsh contrast between the red category headers and the light gray background. It is rather headache inducing. And I mean that in the literal sense, not the hyperbolic complaining sense.

(The other theme is even worse for this, but I didn't use that on old CFC, so I won't comment on it.)
 
Also, Entering a thread brings you to the latest post instead of the first unread post.

It seems that on mobile, you can either go only "next", or hit the page number and put one in yourself.

Indeed, on mobile there is a big distance between thread titles and the thread. I'll look into it.

:confused: for me so far it goes to the first unread post.



EDIT: I'll have a look later at the general design concerns.
 
I disabled the sticky navigation bar, unles we get more people being in favour of it.
@Hygro

I doubt enough people will even know it existed to form an opinion. I kinda liked it, but don't mind either way.
