Thanks everyone for taking the time to run some tests for me! I should take this time to mention that I'm running my display in a full 10bit config card > screen @ 98hz. So keep that in mind. I also do not see the reduce flicker option that you mentioned. Oh, OK. I guess it is not switchable—I …

It is safe to assume a line width of a least 72 characters, which is standard in plain-text files. Small phones in portrait mode (e.g. iPhone SE) show a maximum of 33 characters in monospace at a standard size, so no, I am afraid it is not safe to assume a 72 character minimum these days :-) …

[…]flickering[…] […]flickering[…] I set up this demonstrator to test different patterns and colours. It’s a big playground so try not to go crazy with the feedback :-) Instead, at the moment please start by answering these things: Using the default (“Reset normal”) settings: 1. On which patterns is …

I'm not trying to pile on here and maybe it's not the dithering but the color saturation with the new scheme that causes the flickering? I've no problem displaying bright white on a dark gray background and scrolling without any flickering on either my Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ, or shitty 99$ ASUS …

The background colour is pretty powerful but I prefer a good contrast over the all too common light grey text on a white background that has me bobbing my head to find a workable viewing angle. Yup, the overall choice of bright-on-dark is very welcome; screens are not paper. OTOH there are …

Hi everyone, Per my message yesterday in the bugs thread I had to spend some time dealing with some :rotating_light:internet bad guy:rotating_light: that thought a targeted denial of service attack was a cool idea, so sorry for not saying much or making any visible progress in the past several days. …

forum is flooding mailbox with info about every single post made in a thread. In the past it was only one email till you visit that thread. The new notification system is… not well designed… so it is hard to even trace how it is intended to run. There are several open upstream bugs related to extra …

test This was the first time I'd tried attachments since the update, so not sure if this was an attachment issue with the browser config or more general compatibility to browser itself (IE11, though not on my own PC), but they work fine on my PC with firefox. Uploads in IE11 are fixed now. thanks …

Hi everyone, Sorry for not being communicative, some internet bad guy decided to stress test the new site by attacking it, so instead of fixing bugs and improving usability I instead used my time at the weekend on mitigations. The good news is the mitigations also make loading images a whole lot …

So essentially, it's too complicated and not worth the effort. I know theming in CSS can be a donating task to undertake on the surface but I have a hard time believing that when others have made their own changes with nothing more then a few lines of code. There’s a significant difference between …

dionb wrote on 2019-12-31, 15:15: The problem seems to be that the line spacing option affects lines within a text block, but not between them, which is where the problem is. This was an oversight and should be fixed now. Please let me know how it is.

These is a bug with search feature and even searching for your own posts. The button does not work. At least NOT on my iPad and Safari browser. Question : How do you search for your own posts now ? What do you mean by “does not work”? [hr] (OMG, at least where's the button for smileys?!) The site …

The color scheme is... sorry, but it feels quite hard on my eyes - it could be formally correct in terms of WCAG color contrast but the white text on indigo/bluish tone feels like flickering. Had to switch to the old color scheme. Tested it on both a regular middle-of-the-road laptop screen and a …

was wondering if it would be possible to make zooming in and out possible without page jumping up and down so much Are you referring to desktop browser full page zoom, touch zoom, some other zoom? Also, please don’t post the same question into multiple threads, this just confuses me :-) [hr] Also, …

The preview tab should work correctly now after changes to the attachments list. Also, out-of-range attachment tags will now be auto-correlated to new attachments using the filename in the [attachment] tag, so you should be able to load a draft and reupload the same files and have the attachment …

Thanks for noticing the problem with the attachments list. I was able to reproduce an issue when deleting the penultimate item, which should be fixed now. Let me know if you still have problems with that. Thanks for fixing the first issue. On further testing, I get the behaviour below: After …
