Those need to be fixed individually. Can you please give exact examples?

Can we get a direct link to "All Unread Topics" along side the top (Unread Posts & Updated Topics) ?

PS: Also, what happened to the direct links to the website? Namely to the Games page and Manual?
Can we get them back as well?

PSPS: I like the light blue theme better, but don't like the "white"... can we replace it with another colour? Light green (as before) or maybe light grey, or even lighter blue...

Unfortunately I already changed those text but as soon as I get some examples I will be posting, I think it's for special chars such as ! and ' etc.

And by the way, thanks for this change it was a hard work and really appreciated. Chapeau!

How does this differ from the content on the Updated Topics page? I'm pretty sure I just relabelled the page in the previous version.

I'll do this eventually.

Yeah, this issue comes up every now and then. I just need definite examples so I can do a find and replace to fix it.

It's meant to be there, will fix!

No idea. Don't know how that one works.

Maybe it works just as well.
I'll start using it, and if I see it leaves some posts out, I'll let you know.

EDIT: Tested, and updated gives some weird results. Here's a screen cap of the 3 options:

Recent Unread:

Updated:

All unread:

So... Updated doesn't do anything for me (not sure what's it showing), and Recent cuts it a bit too short (specially if it turns out to be as short memory as the previous version of the forum - otherwise is fine). Guess I'm back to wishing a direct link to All Unread.

Ahhh, I still remember the clunky old website like it was just yesterday.

@Cassiebsg "Show unread topics since last visit" linked to "?action=unread"; "Show all unread topics" linked to "?action=unread;all;start=0", "Show new replies to your posts" linked to "?action=unreadreplies". So https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0 should give you what you're missing? I'll readd it at some point.

It is more relaxing for the eyes, I think.

Congratulations on the new forums launch!

Of things still to fix, I'm looking forward to new code formatting; the current "huge white text on a wooden background" is not quite the thing.

I've changed this to another theme. I chose the brown one mainly because it wasn't white or black, which most of the other ones are; the plugin sillily applies the same PrismJS theme regardless of which forums theme you use.

@eri0o Newlines in code should be fixed.
@Nahuel All the help text weird characters should be fixed.

Quote from: eri0o on Sun 18/09/2022 20:59:43Hey @AGA , previously, inline code was possible using the tt BBCode tag, do you know if there is anything similar in the new forum?

tt is deprecated, but the forum will render any preexisting usages. Try pre?

Excellent news thanks a lot for that @AGA !

Hmmm...the list of games a member has worked on in their profile page is now sorted alphabetically instead of by date. I don't know if this is a conscious design choice or coincidence. Personally, I liked having the newest entry on top.

Fair point! I've fixed it.

This is now implemented.

Argh, I spent aaaages digging around in the code to work out why the icons were visible in dev but not prod. Turned out it was because the database caches were out of date after the release. Should all be fine now.
