Chaos

True that Thanks for understanding everyone, I know it is a bit annoying compared to the old site.

Glad to have you here! And I must say, I absolutely love that the facepalming images are getting to be popular avatars

I can understand the dislike for not having the number there. I kind of miss it too. This was made as a compromise in a long, heated discussion a few months ago about the reputation system. Its purpose is to de-emphasize the numerical value on people, yet to retain the fun titles as well as the numerical value on posts. We currently have no plans of removing titles, nor any plans to put numbers on profile tickers. If you would like a glancable means of determining the value of posts I would encourage you to look at the lower right of a post Honestly, whatever we do with the rep system, someone doesn't like it, so we can't really win.

You have to realize, I am not really a dog person. Some people generally think all dogs are cute. I'm not one of those people. Corgis are one of the few I do like.

1. That's odd. I cannot replicate that. 2. Well now you know Feel free to ask if you have more questions. 3. I... also can't replicate that on any of my devices. I did have a time a while back where some server issues made it take a while, but I just tested and it works.

I'm going to talk about themes in just a moment. But first, I would like to ask you some questions, Moridin. Was the old site too much? The old site used white quite liberally in its main area too. Also, is Facebook or Gmail too bright? They also use white very liberally. I have identified some reasons why people might feel the new site is brighter. I don't really think so, because really the "content" area is exactly the same color as it always was, but here are my theories. First, that the site has a variable width so proportionally there is more white. But that would have been the same as the old site if I had it be more of a variable width as well. The width might matter depending on your monitor width because you may or may not see the purple background to the sides which cools things down immensely. Second theory is that the green in the logo cooled things down in the old site. We changed it to yellow to fit the color scheme which could increase brightness. As for themes themselves, and a dark theme, we'd have to create the theme ourselves. It is not on our immediate agenda to create a dark theme. New theming is nontrivial to do. If you change one thing, that affects other things. Changing the white to a dark color is a radical change that would require total rework to everything else. The theming is what took this version of 17S a long time to make. So when I read, "why can't we have a dark theme" I read, "Remember all the work you did? Do it again and totally differently this time." So... try and keep that in perspective. It is not trivial. Though it is easier to theme on IPS4 it is not trivial by any means. We are all fairly particular and perfectionists on site design. Sometimes we need to pad things by a pixel, or something, and we agonize over it a long time. Also additional skins add more overhead to software updates and such. That's solidly soon(tm). Obviously I have focused on making this update actually work, and once tweaking is done I can do other projects. Soon(tm) on HTTPS, same as Awards. I'll see how logging in through Facebook works. It really didn't work great on the old site. Friends don't exist anymore. ...Okay that sounded really dark out of context. You know... in retrospect I probably should have just told you you could do that, since you didn't have max size browser windows. (I was tired, what can I say.) Unfortunately it is extremely nontrivial to activate the mobile site "always" as you suggest. It is created using clever CSS that responds to the window size.

Maybe Cosmere 102 would be what you would like:

They can, but corgis are cuter

It is more complex for you to hack it in than it could be because there is HTML source viewer/editor, but I had to disable it because letting members apply totally arbitrary HTML is unwise. Sorry!

Corgis or riot.

My pet peeve: people complaining about the new site when they obviously didn't even read the blog post which directly addressed the issue they had.

It's very easy to get there to be just a line break on desktop. Use shift+enter. Additionally if you paste text that does not have an empty line between the two paragraphs the editor will format Like this! That was easy! I mention this in the 17S blog post specifically! The reason why we had to go this route is because it was the only way to make old posts look correct post conversion. We are still working on removing empty spaces on old posts and sigs and is a thing we are actively working on. So... chill a little, it is not so bad! Different but perfectly workable. I am happy to edit your Sig and remove the empty lines in the meantime but I discussed in the blog post how to deal with that

Could you describe what you are trying to find, and whether you are on mobile or desktop? I will investigate this reputation issue. EDIT: I've tested on your account and you can seem to give reputation fine. Do you know which user or post you tried to upvote and couldn't?

But I need food, and the mobile site is just so pretty I can't stoppppp.

Go to their profile and press Follow Member by their name.

OH, I see now. I feel stupid. (And tired.) I'll change that string so it is consistently saying Title.

When you edit your profile they are called Member Titles, where are they displayed as Ranks? Ranks actually are a thing I removed--the little pips that depended on how many posts you had. I decided they were superfluous. You lack divine strength. WORSHIP THE MASTER OF CHROME.

Yeah, I can update those. (Though the email field is actually a separate field from those, for some reason.)

I WILL NEVER SLEEP, FOR I AM THE GOD OF CHROME TABS. I NEED NO SILLY THINGS LIKE SLEEP. No really, see? They each have a ton of tabs.

She's not following me I only have one follower. Rip.

I have identified the problem. The solution may take a bit of time, though. But identifying the problem is half the battle. Glad you like them. I wasn't quite sure about them. But that's kind of like the best we will get because they can't glow anymore.

Sure. I'll get them up tomorrow. For realsies, it is bedtime for me, haha.

We can definitely get new emoticons in. For some reason some of our emoticons aren't in HD, but if you happen to have the HD ones, I can easily update them, as well as the mappings. For the new ones, if we got them HD-ified that would be awesome. I'm not sure what dimensions that would need to be, so I will need to look.

You know, I had noticed that. I need to figure out why the crap that is, because that's extremely weird. It's not like it is coded any different from the others, but it definitely interferes with the breadcrumb. And you totally should listen to Shardcast for all that non-existent ad revenue we get from it. Dollah dollah bill, yo.
