FEEDBACK ON NEW FORUM SOFTWARE

on my iphone, the text color is very light grey on white for the main body of a post so it is difficult/impossible to read. is there a way to adjust that? Likewise there are places where the font color is dark blue on black - also very difficult to read.

I am, dark mode is horrible. And I don't mind all the adverts. But reading a longer post and I scroll down I get a popup of an ad that is already on my screen is frustrating. I'm on a Mac using Chrome.

Dark mode is unusable. The TL Header with the Acct, Home, News, Forums options takes up half the screen on mobile.

Screenshot attached. The old software was better. I fear the longer were on this the less likely we are to get new users.

*Edit: I don't think pictures or screenshots attach properly.
 
In light mode, the "Latest Posts" listing on the right hand side renders most of text in white on white which of course is invisible.

It is so much better. The header size is perfect now. Still lots of white as mentioned above but quoting and replying are good. Only pet peeve is the report, like , reply are dark blue and User names are hard to see. The dark blue and dark Grey background arent a great match but Def so much better.
Thanks for the fix!

***Edit...not sure if you did it after my post but the dark blue is now lighter and works great for me. Thx

Do you mean on the https://tmltoday.com/community/, in dark mode, the background being white is the issue?
 
Shaping up nicely and it's quite a lot of progress towards the familiar look, but feels like better underpinnings.

Some of the old elements (i.e. the very helpful header function buttons that I missed) are in the darker blue, and there are some little bits of cutoff, like the body box of the reply getting trimmed by a pixel or two at the top as it approaches the WISWYG bar.

Edit: had to flip to dark mode as the light mode background got overruled by the dark mode's gray; dark mode colour set is looking quite good.

Menu background and certain function buttons have a different blue (Forums menu button as well).


This is only apparent in the Light mode, BB code mode of the reply box. You can see the border is trimmed off. Very minor stuff.
In WISWYG mode, the reply box looks good as it does not have the rounded border and is just a clean line at the transition.

The reply box border 'disappears' when the cursor is inside the typing area, but that looks to be the border changing colour to an even lighter gray (CSS?).

Cursor outside


Cursor inside


It is more apparent in Dark Mode, as moving the cursor into the text box applies a highlight to the border (which is probably what's showing up on Light mode too).
Anyway, extremely nitpicky stuff that should not be a priority.

Thanks! I'll get to it. We've been getting hit with tens of thousands of bots swarming the forums lately, which is taxing the server. Workin' on that later today.
 
Looks wise, everything seems to be working great in dark mode. Text is visible and the gray in place of the white backgrounds looks great and easy on the eyes.

Performance wise it seems up and down. One click is instant, the next click takes 30 seconds.
 
Looking a lot better. I would adjust the dark blue fonts for like, reply, report and user names. Otherwise so much better.

**Edit: Also the latest post section etc. Basically any dark blue text should be adjusted when there is a dark grey background to improve readability.

I hit one spot of slow today, but I was pretty sure it was because something was being updated at that time.

It's way better now than the past 5 weeks, ramping up in time for the pre-season.
