Ben Manchester Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 A new version of the forum software was installed today, there are improvements in a number of areas which you will see as you use the website. The main new features are: Improvements to search interface to make it easy to find things Expanded emoji selection Improved link embedding Lots of admin functions I haven't looked at yet Please let me know if you experience any unusual behaviour or errors.

James Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Questions seem to stay unread and highlighted however many times I view them and refresh the main index. The one on keeping hard is currently showing as unread. Link to comment

Are answered questions being highlighted, or just unanswered ones? Are they showing on the unread content page? Link to comment
James Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 "New" come up as highlighted. Maybe when the thread ages, it will not be highlighted. Link to comment
Ben Manchester Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Mmm, am not sure. Would you try force reloading the theme files? Just Ctr and F5 on PC, CMD+R on Mac. Which browser and platform are you using? Link to comment
James Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I tried that a number of times. Chrome and Firefox produce same result. It doesn't pose any practical problem to the browsing experience, it's just odd. Link to comment
Ben Manchester Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Weird, it's not happening to me on Chrome for Windows or Linux (I don't have Mac anymore). Only unread threads show as bold. I see you're using Chrome for Windows too so I wonder what's different. Do you have any browser plugins that are designed to rewrite the page? Ad blockers, CSS overrides, that sort of thing? Is Subway 4.3 the forum theme you're using? You can check using the theme option at the bottom left of the footer. I can't see anything in the forum settings that affects this behaviour. Link to comment
James Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 No add ons installed. Standard IPS theme with the blocky red and blue design. Link to comment
Ben Manchester Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Do you not like the Subway theme? That should be the default for users. I left the other one up as it used to work better on mobile but Subway seems to work fine now too Link to comment
James Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 The default is IPS Theme for me, and I can't find how to change it. Link to comment

That's weird, I wonder how many others aren't seeing the proper theme! I've changed your theme in your user preferences. Hopefully, that'll sort you out. You may need to refresh again.

James Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I don't notice anything. The current theme is fine, looks neat, does everything it needs to. Link to comment
Ben Manchester Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I think you probably have the right theme then (red and blue instead of blue and white). IPS Theme by IPS Focus refers to the company who made the theme. I've removed access to the Generic Forum theme so you, in theory, can't have that anymore. Link to comment
