Thanks both, this should be hot fixed.

Seems to be back working as normal now.

I'm not sure if i am using the right page/feed

 

But on /discover/ if you leave the page open in the background for a period of time, and then click on the "there is a new item to view" link 

This then will load multiple "widgets" for the same post, but a full refresh of the page then has one for each post individually 

 

I am also not particularly bothered, just something i have noticed

Yeah its a quirk, basically when you hit that button it pulls the changes to the list but doesnt do a search/replace so if a thread has had a post after you have initially opened discover it will reappear when that button is hit if it has a reply.

Just to say those that want to test a tweaked theme and answer some questions please drop me a line.

Happy to test anything and everything

I think the one thing i know a lot of people would like and hopefully a quick win is more themes, dark mode all the things! Unless your name is @BKGarry

Do not test the new mods, we have been passed on the dark arts from @witch

Happy to test. Happy to test on mobile as well.

It will be very much based on the old Dark mode which still had a lot of white actually. I would like to knock out an OLED true black dark mode as well though.

[ZeroHour]

A beta of the Dark theme using a lot of the colours from the old site's dark theme should be accessible now for Testers using the Theme menu at the bottom of the site.

 

Bordering and spacing improvements still to come.

[JonThompson]

Can confirm that the full dark mode also carries across to the iOS web version - nice contrast with the red and black. Thanks @ZeroHour!

There is a new forum for testers in "EduGeek Stuff" tab at the bottom.

Quoting search doesn't work https://www.edugeek.net/search/?&q="microsoft designer"&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy

 

Also search defaulting to the current thread is annoying, after a failed search it's 3 clicks to fix it. If the search box (top right) was prefilled with the search text that would make it only 1 click to fix

I have set it to "Everywhere" everywhere now.

 

I will look into the quoting.

[ZeroHour]

Just to say a new Theme is available for testers.

How come Windows 8 is "legacy" but not Windows 7?

Server 2012 should also be legacy.

[Norphy]

Perhaps it should be better to say "Any version of Windows prior to Windows 10 or Server 2016" or something along those lines.

Yeah I will be looking at moving it and sorting out mistaken threads that are w11 now. It was left primarily because when I looked (and was doing a lot of things at the same time) at first glance there had been some recent posts.

 

Been mostly doing styles for various things lately and tightening the site spacing but I hope to push them this week.

 

A *Dimmed* theme in the works with a lot of welcome feedback from @Zoom7000

Ooh! Looks nice.

How do you get to the member list now?

 

Apologies if it's obvious, but I am a bloke so you know I'm not going to see things that are right in front of me!

[Andycat]

Is there a way of displaying the forums as single threads, rather than every reply as a separate line?

 

Less scrolling would be nice. Apologies if this is simple/obvious but I've tried random clicks to no avail and my brain is dead.

It is blocked right now as a direct list due to bots being bots and harvesting it (it was also restricted under the old site) but I will look at detecting logged in people to allow it.

Could you possible paste in a screenshot of what you mean?

I am not quite sure although the spacing between posts is going to be reduced a bit very soon:
