XenForo 2 Problems and Feature Requests

[Rys]

There's a reasonable chance the alert link isn't aware of the things per page add-on, so the links will have pagination setup incorrectly versus your customised user preference. If that's what's happening I've got no quick route to fixing it unfortunately.

No problem as it does not always happen. The issue does seem reproduceable when I tried again on @neckthrough's Ada alert.

Edit: Last time it did get the page correctly though behavior is similar to what @BRiT mentioned regarding expanding and incorrect location.

can easily change the colour (red?) and/or make the bar thicker or a different style, to help it stand out. Would that help?

yes please, can you also check it looks good with the dark theme

On previous themes, wasn't there a DOT or STAR or BALL at the front of the thread title that indicated it had NEW posts? Maybe some sort of Prefix thing?

 

[BRiT]

Watched thread. The most recent posting it happened with was @neckthrough post in the Ada thread.

Can you copy/paste the link from the Alert? I don't have any thread level alerts to look at.

The Alerts I see from person X quoted you or reacted to a post uses the exact post syntax, which is valid regardless of number of posts per page settings.

Here is the alert from the post.

NVidia Ada Speculation, Rumours and Discussion

I've been seeing people bring up the issue of stock piling up, but is that actually the case or are we just comparing it against the situation of the last 2 years or so? The inventory norm prior was actually stock readily available on shelves (real or virtual) even if products were on sale...

What are you running to customize the forum and show things as blue? The dark theme is based around orange. The theme that's based around blue is light and uses white. Whatever you're running custom must be causing your issues. Can't help you when you're running your own customized thing.

That's for that. That link should be directly to the post and as such should not be affected by number of posts per page. So now I'm not sure why it would load that thread on the wrong page, let alone being two pages away.

Its just dark mode via "dark reader" extension that only changes css colors


Edit : forgot to mention that it also randomly happened on chrome on Android

Threads with new posts have a line at the side

I have never seen a reaction confirmation in years of using XF2 on desktop and mobile.

Yeah, for me and you this is obvious enough along with the font emphasis/bolding.

For others maybe they want something right at the thread name like a little ball, star, icon? Maybe I'm confusing my forums but i thought XF1 B3D had that.

EDIT: I was probably confusing it with a different forum (unraid) that has that style, unread and then read:

 

[Jawed]

Previous B3D forum had emphasis/bold for thread titles in the alert list with waiting-to-be-accessed posts. Additionally, the alerts dropdown list only showed those few thread titles, instead of replicating the full list of entries that show in the page.

For what it's worth, I think the line down the left border of the box is fine. It's just weird that the alerts page displays thread titles differently from the new posts page.

If you're going to the dedicated alerts page by clicking on the bell icon first then alerts, that will mark your alerts as read and this would show all alert links as read.

I interpret your post to mean that by keeping the alerts page open and issuing a page refresh, that the newly alerting thread titles will show as bold. Is that correct?

Well, I've just tried the experiment (using Beyond3D default scheme, not the dark version) and thread titles are still not showing as bold for new alerts.

 

[Silent_Buddha]

Just another small niggle. With the dark theme the "new" tag on posts when viewing a thread kind of blends in.



Perhaps a brighter color? On another forum I'm on they have it like this:




Which makes it much easier to parse quickly.

Yeah I think it's a styling issue. My alerts page on my forums shows thread title as bold.

 

[BRiT]

There is an ever so slight difference on alerts that are unread. The Orange line at the front and the orange dot at the end along with slightly different background color. The styling doesn't have it as bolded. It needs something more or more difference between the theme colors.

You can see this on the alert page by marking some rows as unread by clicking the empty circle at the end: https://forum.beyond3d.com/account/alerts

The emoji button doesnt seem to work

Sounds like you had BB-code toggled by default, it disables all the formating buttons
