John Kettler Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It appears been a GUI change recently, and it's not working well on my end with my 5K Retina iMac. Has 8 GB SDDR RAM & 1 TB Fusion Drive and runs the latest version of Sierra (Version 13.1.2 (13609.3.5.1.5). The problems are: the header is cut off in the vertical, and everything's dark in the icons except the one bearing the "J" on a green field, my present avatar. Have restarted, but the problems remain. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, whoever is responsible @Battlefront.com, fix ASAP. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I like the new font - seems very contrasty and makes it easier to read. The blue BG of the "quote" box is too dark (on my monitor anyway) and makes the black text HARDER to read. Suggest a lighter blue. What puzzled me for a while was how to sign in as the top right "SIGN IN" button was missing. I was only able to find the sign in button when I attempted to post something and only then I was asked to sign in. Not sure why the sign in button was changed - change for change's sake? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I also find it almost impossible to see the SIGN IN button. I thought it had been removed for several days! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 @Battlefront.com, @BFCElvis, on Android smartphones, the BFC logo is cut off at the top of the screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks For me, my poor and not correctable until cataract surgery soonish vision makes it almost impossible, no matter how I strain and how close I get with my glasses (can see over the top at about 6" range) to see what's in the very dark blue bar, for the contrast ratio is almost zero. Frankly, I don't understand why the site was changed. Worked fine for me, and I've yet to find something about it I now like better than what we just lost.

Erwin Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 And as mentioned previously, the SIGN IN button at the top right has become virtually invisible (dark blue on black). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Is it only for me, or is the new forum UI not properly working on the iPhone since the last iOS update? E.g., I see only tiny rectangles, where the „tap fields“ are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happening in the desktop view as well - I'm using Brave browser and see only small squares in many of the click buttons, not to mention that the colours for page headers and quote box headers is still not optimal ...

Erwin Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) The other "innovation" that puzzles me since it makes things more complex and takes more time, is moving the "EDIT" button away from where it used to be (next to the QUOTE button) to the top right - so you now have to click on that NEW button in order to access the EDIT button so that one can then click on the EDIT button. Why turn a simple one click process into a two click process??? Who one earth came up with these stupid ideas that make a simple process into a more complex process?

And that's assuming the edit button even shows up - all I see at the moment is a small square outline ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 The home, notifications, mark all read, new messages, total reputation, multiquote, more options etc. All these icons are broken on firefox and don't display properly anymore . They worked fine when the transition was made to the new forum layout, this only happened a few days ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) On Chrome, some of the colors blend in too much - for instance, the blue arrow at the top right-hand side of a quoted message is practically invisible. I only knew that it was there, because this forum software is used on other websites that I visit.

Lucky_Strike Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Looks like the icons and buttons have returned, thanks to the forum gods. Now can you please fix the colour scheme. TA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
