We have a managed hosting solution though, so all should be good I don't know the technical details and how much management they do, but right now I'd say the hosting isn't of an acceptable standard. I'm getting delays, timeouts, and 502 errors regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMS Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Any chance of tweaking the buffer values on some of the divs so that it makes better use of horizontal space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Users need to fix this themselves KasperVld, is there really no way to do a mass find&replace to fix this? The international section is pretty borked up because of this. The wrong conversion seems to be at least consistent, so it should be possible to do a mass substitution. Btw, I am not being allowed to correct my own posts of even a few days ago because supposedly 'too much time has passed'. Not sure how I can fix something myself if I'm not allowed to edit.

Jens Lyn IV Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 A few grievances: Lots of wasted screen space. Forced WYSIWYG editor. Default notification settings are too permissive. Even with all notifications disabled, I'm getting spammed with notification requests every time a page loads. Screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no restriction applied to the age of posts you can edit, as far as I'm aware. Can anyone confirm this? 4 minutes ago, Jens Lyn IV said: A few grievances: Lots of wasted screen space.

Screenshot The notification type from the screenshot is an HTML5 feature, and is controlled by the browser. If it doesn't work correctly, that's where the problem is I'm afraid.

WuphonsReach Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Not happy with the amount of wasted whitespace on the left/right margins. That needs to be reduced to under 25px or less instead of wasting 20% of the browser display width. Overall, the theme needs to be tightened up, with not so much wasted whitespace.

Jouni Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The forced WYSIWYG editor is a bad idea. It feels like we're back in the 90s again. I write a lot of text every day using various tools, but I never use WYSIWYG editors for anything. Using some kind of markup is easier, faster, and more precise, and it also produces better quality results. Apart from that, I'll wait for a few days before forming an opinion on the new forums.
