Issues with the forum

[Jean-Marie]

It looks like Tweets cannot be embedded any more.

Nope. As I said, functionality will be restored gradually. Was focusing on getting the forum up.

Ok, looking good. Please, as we move on, tell me what functionality you're missing from the forum!

It seems that the URLs of threads have changed, so links made to threads under the previous regime now take you to the forum root. For example, https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/gotek-(flashfloppy)-wiring-for-a-pcw9512/ no longer works, replaced by https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?topic=15638.msg172093#msg172093

Yup, working on it right now, actually.

I quite like the posts alternating colours...

[Gryzor]

I think the human-readable URLs are back successffully.

[TotO]

I like a lot the new visual.

Oh good. Also changed the font, too, supposedly Inter is very readable. 

[TotO]

"Topics per page to 5" not fit on a same line.
May be "5 Topics per page" can be better.

About the font, it was already nice previously when displayed on a Mac.

[Gryzor]

Not sure what you meant with your first point?

Yeah Mac has better typography always, now I think it looks more neat on my Windows and Android. 

[TotO]

I mean, the first ratio button entry into the contextual menu have the text "Topics per page to 5" too long to fit one line.
But I understand the wish was to have all the text starting with "Topic ...".

[Gryzor]

Ah ok, will take a look when back home. 

[Gryzor]

Hmm for me on my phone (both mobile and desktop view) it appears in one line. Are your fonts too big by any chance?

I have expected you will ask that because the big screenshot (retina resolution), but it is the default font.
Sure, I can decrease it from one step to see the result.

EDIT: Now the text is smaller, but the problem is worst.
Before you ask, I have tried to increase the size and that not fix the problem. (I investigate)

[VincentGR]

If it's not an Amstrad font, it's just acceptable.

[TotO]

No more icon to go to the last post of a topic? (may be I missed something)
OK, I have to click on the date. No problem.

I would say move the category bar over to the left instead of the right. It just looks strange on the right hand side to me and would be better suited to the left.

I'm guessing a lot of things are still in progress so I'm not seeing what we have here as final unless otherwise stated.  

[Gryzor]

Ok so, those who want mode0.otf as the forum font, put your hands up😁

@TotO more details?

[robcfg]

Mode 0? That would be difficult to read. Mode 1 and you get me on board

You don't see the icons at the top of the category section?

I think the forum is pretty stable, fast and functional right now. There's a couple of things not yet incorporated, but if people don't ask for them out means it's not really worth it, so it's up to you to tell me if it's done 🙂

Shall I constrict it to 40 columns? 

[robcfg]

That would be a tad too much...
