Tweets are now once again embedded. Should also work retroactively for previously posted twitter links.

This should work retroactively on previously posted links/media.

I've just checked two vids of mine from a few months ago - both OK!

Cool, one down, a few to go

Off topic button/code added

I had now 2 situations, where I was no longer able to edit text, when editing:

I was typing a normal reply, then recognised a typo and tried to change a previous part of the text. When I do that, once I hit any key, the cursor jumps back to the end of the text.

Not sure if that only happens in Quick Reply or also the normal reply... Anyone else has experienced that?

Gryzor · 17:37, 03 March 22

Hmm haven't encountered that, will keep an eye out for it... Browser?

Chrome on Mac - I will also check if I recognize a pattern or if it also happens on Firefox.

Ok, top menu is now editable!

To begin with I added a link to CPCWiki proper at the beginning of the row. But I'd like to ask your opinions/requests about what else to add. Can be a forum location, an action, an arbitrary link, a menu with sub-entries (other sites?)... you name it. It's quite flexible in what it can do.

As a bonus there can now be a bottom menu (currently only shows "Community") above the footer, but I can't see much use for it.

Let me know what you think!!

Font Awesome doesn't quite work right yet, trying to make the CPCWiki icon a custom one but all I get is an "app window" generic icon...

Gryzor · 08:54, 10 March 22

Can people tell me how the forum looks for you? Does it have the gradient effect or not? Look at the screenshots... Thanks!

ComSoft6128 · 09:02, 10 March 22

Looking at the picture on the RH side - no, I don't see the (grey) gradient effect

Gryzor · 09:04, 10 March 22

Thanks. Oh, also if you could report OS and browser it'd help!

ComSoft6128 · 09:06, 10 March 22

Windows 8.1 and Chrome.

Jean-Marie · 09:06, 10 March 22

No eye-candy for me

Using Windows 11 & MS Edge, latest versions.

Gryzor · 09:11, 10 March 22

Thanks.

To clarify: the gradients are not supposed to be there, but I got a report that they do appear, but can't confirm...

ComSoft6128 · 09:13, 10 March 22

Not bothered either way but the red tab notification "indicator" is missed

You mean in the browser? A notification icon on the tab?

ComSoft6128 · 09:17, 10 March 22

Yes

Gryzor · 09:19, 10 March 22

Will have to check that out. What did the notification signify for you? I don't remember if I ever had it...

ComSoft6128 · 09:23, 10 March 22

Likes definitely, quotes and mails as well?

I didn't bother raising it previously because it wasn't major and I thought "leave the man alone he's been working like a dog recently!"

No Greyscaling here either. Win10 / Firefox 9768 (or whatever number they are up to now).

Bryce.

no gradient - Most recent Chrome, Mac OS

Gryzor · 11:05, 10 March 22

Thanks guys, appears to be an isolated thing, strangely enough.

If anyone wants to try their hand at creating a CPC-related color scheme (green maybe!

) I can share the colour details...

Nworc · 11:07, 10 March 22

I see the gradient on a Gecko based browser, in the section
/* start of Color Changer mod output */ ... /* end of Color Changer mod output */
replace
{background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 0%, #ffffff 70%);}
by
{}
and they are gone. (that's the 2nd gradient in the block)

Gryzor · 11:32, 10 March 22

Thanks for the feedback; I did see it in the stylesheet, but I'd prefer not to touch things manually - at least as much as I can avoid it...

The thing is that according to the theme I've edited there shouldn't be different colours (i.e. start and end colours should be the same), and I'm at a loss as to why only Gecko (?) is actually rendering it.

Nworc · 12:42, 10 March 22

I think it's a bug in the implementation of some browsers, 0% means a stop position at the beginning, somehow the browser is doing it wrong. If you want to keep it most compatible, just replacing the 0% by 1% would fix the issue for these browsers and would have no impact at all on all others, so makes the page more compatible:

{background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 1%, #ffffff 70%);}
