We will do a forum migration today at 20:30 - 21:30 CET, there will be a minor period of time where the forum is down.

@mariogrip The first stage went well, the new menu system (as seen on a mobile) feels a bit sleeker than the old one. Thanks for your efforts.
-
Done! That took way longer then expected due to some database issues, but its now on a different database and server
should be faster now -
System unpinned this topic on

@mariogrip It might be just me but I can not use the search option to find anything older than the recent post of default alarm sounds. I remember posting something on this topic but all that shows is todays post.
I tried searching for Focal Fossa and got no results.
Like I say probably just me but could anyone confirm/deny the problem?
EDIT. After posting the above a search for focal fossa now finds this post only. It looks like we have lost the history for searches. Even searching for the title of this post finds nothing.
-
@Ian Can you try now? i have reindexed search.
-
@mariogrip Thanks. That got it. Searches now work. Thanks for the really quick fix!
-
@mariogrip Can you check that the Forum registration is working. There seems to be an issue, no new useres.
-
@Lakotaubp Good catch! fixed now, was a plugin that failed on registration, but fixed now!
-
@mariogrip Thank you

@mariogrip : I noticed a new font color scheme on the forum today. Standard text appears greyed-out and topics and banners/buttons are red. Is this the new look from now on? I must say I find the old font colors easier on the eye and better legible. Is it possible to get back the old style? The old style was also more similar (if not the same as) Ubuntu's.
-
Please give us the old color scheme. Wow, this is hard on my eyes.
-
Personally, I don't like this red font for unread messages (or all messages if you're not connected): it's tiring for the eyes. For read messages, the font is less dark, which is also tiring for the eyes.
Can we make unread messages appear read without reading them all so that there is no more font color distinction? I don't find that.
-
@domubpkm best would be to give the choice to user.
What i find not very good, is the text color, way too [light] grey. -

Grey and also very thin. I had to increase the font in order to read it easily. I never had to do that before.
-
@mariogrip : I see the colors have changed again, this time to a new blue/purple. In my previous post, in which I asked to revert the forum color change, I wrote: “The old style was also more similar (if not the same as) Ubuntu's.” I'd like to explain why I would choose to keep it: our mobile OS is called Ubuntu Touch. The first version was made and released by Canonical (company behind Ubuntu), it is build on the code of Ubuntu, we profit from its well-known name. To me, it therefore seems logical to follow its layout/style as close as possible. One more advantage: we make use of Canonical's design expertise, and can be sure that it is tested for legibility and comfort.

Quick note on Forum changes has evrybody noticed the changes available at the bottom of your profiles. Rights and consent, 2FA and Themes.
-
@Lakotaubp : Thanks for pointing this out, I hadn't noticed yet. However, I see the Themes only allow to change placing of menu and adjust size to screen. The color scheme seems fixed, at least in the excellent UBports Forum webapp that I use to access the forum and keep track of new posts. An option to change color scheme was also requested by another user in this thread. I still would like to advocate for the old theme as default for the reasons mentioned previously.
-
There is an Ubuntu theme/skin we can try, but it's highly orange
-
@mariogrip If possible, it would be nice to be able to adjust the font size (currently too small) as well as the font color (current gray is too light - washed out) in the Forum.
-
@domubpkm sadly i cannot do this easily, but will try.
How does this look?
