We don't have that because we're not Facebook. We're a forum.  We want discussions!  If you like or agree, no one will mind you writing a short post saying you completely agree or love it or whatever!

This is one of the reasons I love this place and don't do fakebook.

👍 (just kidding. Well, only with the symbol. I seriously agree with what you said.) Here we also have gifs if our words fail us. See:

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I have enjoyed my few days here so far. I do not have a facebook account and I was so grateful to find a place to learn/discuss that was NOT on facebook.

Yay!  Glad to hear this 😊

It's such a special corner of the internet here.

fakebook.

I know we have just had an upgrade. I can live with most stuff but the huge panel down the side of busy threads (top poster etc) makes the actual posts too narrow and a pain to read.

 

Do we NEED this ? It takes up more than a quarter of the page width.

 

Also the little hand thing "joined recently" is really annoying to me - but of course if other people LIKE it....

 

And avatars are obscuring text below them:

 

I expect it's just my skin (Uniform) - but the ping colour is so pale you have to highlight it to see whose name it is !

 

Just niggles to try and make the place perfect again...

[Little Fang]

The forum just upgraded.  We are paying for a theme fix up.  Please be patient!  I haven't seen some of this stuff yet. 😛

[Little Fang]

Found out where that was.  Still getting the forum themes and stuff upgraded, all the creators of themes and plugins have to recode to keep up so I have to wait for upgrades 🙂 

[AJ-ish/Sharyn]

with my vision issues, I agree with Gregory re: ping I can no longer see them at all, although what I think I might not be seeing is a pale blue background and white print? I use default skin if that makes a difference. 

 

One of my favorite movie lines is from Jurassic Park and Jeff Goldblum, "they were so busy knowing they could, they didn't stop to think if they should". 

Looking forward though to seeing what will be newly available 🙂 thanks Little Fang

[gregory]

Er...

 

 

Good luck. I am NOT using the default !

 

OH - but people who have their trophies showing don't have this issue...

[gregory]

Oh but YES that big panel is gone.

 

The pings, by the way, are invisible in all themes except the Fiery Flame one. Which is - too much for me to handle... 

[Little Fang]

Reopening this, I think we fixed everything?

[gregory]

Not sure; I just unhid my trophies and they still don't show (I don't actually CARE, it was a test - but...) - but I see you say they make take time to reappear.

 

And the pings are still VERY hard to see - I'm on vanilla just now as Uniform seems to have fallen over

 

But thanks for all your hard work

No. Sad puppy still has a sad.

I'm using the default theme and my little paintbrush button has disappeared from the upper right. I can't change the color to my usual lovely teal/dark mint. It's not the end of the world, but I'd really rather not have this bile-and-pea-soup shade.

[katrinka]

But it's somewhat reassuring to still be having #FirstWorldProblems  like this. 😁

[Little Fang]

It's not quite nice to say that about our brand colors. 😞

This theme never had colorization ability, are you thinking about another theme?

[Little Fang]

Uniform has the fancy colors you're maybe thinking of!

Brand colors? *removes foot from mouth* Apologies!

No, it was definitely this one. I've always used the default and I've always changed the color after browser updates, etc. caused it to revert. If I can find an old screen snip showing the changed color I'll post it here.

I don't seem to have an option for Uniform.

Ah, that looks like the old elegant theme which is defunct now, not the default.  🙂 Thank you for letting me know the others aren't showing up though, let me go check!

[katrinka]

Thank you! You rock.
(I'll call it "olive" from now on. 😁)

ETA: Uniform is  nice, and I can turn the light on or off. I'll miss the little paintbrush, but I can live with this one.

It's looking great @Little Fang, thank you for putting so much effort into making this such a great space!

I'm using the forum a lot on the mobile, I love that there is now the bar with shortcuts fixed to the bottom of the screen. 

[Decan]

Ah that's it, the Theme I was using works again! Thanks @Little Fang

OOOH it goes full width. NIIIIIICE ! And I'm purple again.

 

Thanks LF.

OOH-ER. With that three dots button covering edit, report and share - you may get a lot of reports..... I just went to edit a post and almost reported myself instead...
