Also, when using source mode in the new reply page, the text is white on white in the Classic and in the White theme.
I have to run.

The fixed scrolling bar in the new theme with the home/my portal/search/new topics/... buttons is annoying since scrolling around will make it pop in and out of existence for some reason. On mobile it gets even more obnoxious since it can take up close to a third of the screen if you zoom in on the page.

Black theme is cool, but any chance of getting the old dark grey theme back? Not that I don't appreciate what you've done so far, it looks great!


Also, are the little dialogue box icons supposed to change color or something when a subforum has new posts or has been read? Icon looks the same for both.

Hard-refresh (shift+F5), that should fix things.

I like the new default theme. The white and black versions look excellent too.

A couple of suggestions ...
- I use the 'Realms Beyond Forum User Control Panel Subscribed Threads' screen as my 'home page' ... the column down the left is much wider than it use to be ... you could probably know 35% to 40% off and still have enough room.
- with the white theme ... the block headings (Messenger, Your Profile, etc) are black on default green ... readable but not clear ... try white on default green? Or yellow on default green ... the white theme hasn't got any yellow
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

Considering I normally hate redesigns this one is quite decent, thanks for all your hard work Brick. 

My issues: 1) the issue quoted above. This is nearly showstopping me for on iOS introducing way more scrolling lag than I'm used to. Can I turn it off or doesn't a certain theme exclude it?

2) opening a thread to its newest post and replying to a post in-thread both take two clicks when they took one before. Maybe a feature but to me experience worsening. 

3) again on iOS this text box has usability issues. White on green isn't my favorite but I can live, but there image editing buttons appear white-on-white and so are literally invisible.

I'll work on this, surprisingly not the easiest fix.

I'm not seeing this issue in either theme for me. I've went ahead and cleared the CloudFlare cache since there's been active development, and try clearing your cache as well, see if it still shows up.

I wouldn't mind adding the tapestry back in, just need to figure out the best place to put it.

You're not the first to ask, I can also make a grey theme like before.

So I thought about this some more, and the scrolling bar doesn't seem like it adds any critical new functionality, at least none that are worth causing users viewing issues. I've disabled it for now.

Can you clarify what the previous shorter workflow was?

Can you provide an image of your image editing button problem? Showing up just fine for me on all themes.

I think this problem is an issue of unrealized renaming. Before you could hit quote to immediately open a reply box with the quote, or hit a different button (don't remember the name) to collect a list of posts to quote. However now the reply button is the button that allows you to quote a single post (the current quote button collect multiple posts to quote).

Maybe change the current reply button to quote and the current quote button to multi-quote or something? Make it clear to everyone how many posts are being quoted.

The funny thing is the previous reply button was named "reply", and the multi-quote button didn't have a name before  crazyeye I'll rename it "multi-quote", maybe that will help for clarity.
