Xenforo bugs/help

I don't always have my computer on so I'm mostly picking up the alerts as emails on a phone ... if I see an interesting one I switch on my computer (or tablet) and I see the visual alerts then. If 'Show All' is clicked a list of alerts from the previous 3 or 4 days can be seen.
 
i agree phil...i asked about having better definative lines between posts some time ago as they are just about visible...if warren could achieve this that would make life a whole lot easier for some of us:) ps i have already replied to the wrong poster once lol

lyn

how's that finally figured it out.

Hi Warren - It does not look much different to me just slightly darker, but I generally use the avatars in the posts to know which post I'm looking at so the lines are not too important to me.
 
theres now some grey dotted lines I didn't want to make it too obvious as I really don't like the separator lines however I do understand some have issues seeing things properly when I get time I'm going to make two themes this one (modified back to the way it was neat and clean) and one for the visually impaired with greater lines to define the posts.
 
right we now have two themes the default one(recommended) and an accessibility one for the visually impaired.
They can be selected by clicking the theme name at the bottom left hand corner (See image) note yours will say default until you change it.

Accessibility looks ok on Windows but Portrait View on an iPad shows some anomalies with lines out of position. Strangely with Landscape View on iPad it is ok.

Accessibility Portrait View (I've marked anomalies).

Accessibility Landscape View.

No problems with Default style on iPad and has always looked very nice.

I had to make the text bigger throughout so some of the margins have had to shift to make way, it's the best I can do for the visually impaired style
 
Depends on the resolution it's not really a problem though so even if you do come across it you would have to look for it in order for it to be seen.
If that makes sense.
 
I've switched to Accessibility format and, although not visually impaired, I like it. Viv.

thanks warren be very useful if you could do that when time permits
 
Lyn if you haven't already done so switch to Accessibility format as per Warrens post #145. I think you'll find it's better. Viv.
 
Hi Lyn. Very bottom left hand of your screen, press 'Default style' then two choices come up. choose 'Accessibility' Viv
 
Warren

I've had an email from Mikejee saying he is having a problem logging into the forum, this is the relevant part of the message.

"but a few hours ago I tried to log on the forum and was told I had to take part in 2-stage verification. I presumed it was a new thing Warren had put on. I put in password and said use e-mail confirmation, (as the other metjhod involbes scanning into my mobile and I've no idea if i can scan into my mobile), It says its sent me a code by e-mail to put in, but no code has come, so I cannot access forum"

Can you look into it please?
