BTW, if anyone is interested, I’ve mostly updated the BLF stylesheet for the Chrome “Stylish” extension.
This basically re-themes BLF to make it a little easier on dark-adjusted eyes — a dark theme instead of the default bright white theme. I put the files up here: http://toykeeper.net/torches/css/
… and here is an example of how it looks (click for full size):
It’s not complete yet, but it’s getting there. There are a bunch of little details I haven’t chased down, like why there’s a big blank spot at the left side. Someone else wrote this originally, I updated it a bit, then after today’s site upgrade I had to update it quite a bit more. So, I’m not totally familiar with every line of CSS… but it mostly works.
I’m apparently having DNS issues. In my work computer and phone on wifi (home and work wifi) the “slow dns” link just redirects back to the same “we’re back” splash page. I can’t get to blf at all.
On my phone on LTE everything is working perfectly
Some routers keep a local DNS cache that may be slow to update. There’s probably a feature to flush and renew that cache in the admin panel but its probably easier to just pull the plug and reboot them.
I’m not able to find the thread tools options where we can change the number of posts per page. It used to be at the bottom of every thread. Is anyone else having the same issue?
Thanks SB! Looking good. I do a lot of IT work myself so I feel your pain. I have a lot of poking around to do. I actually never thought the text was too small but now that I see the difference I like it!
I hope the rest all goes well. Man it’s nice to be back.
Not that the little shoutbox wasn’t fun but this is a lot homier.
It seems petty of me to thank TK and Finges in a thread about SB doing huge amounts of work to update the forum that I have come to enjoy and spend ridiculous amounts of time on. But I will start with a HUGE thanks to SB for the obviously large amount of work that has been done to upgrade the site. And follow up with a thank you to ToyKepper and Finges for enabling me to make it so much easier to read with Stylish and the stylesheet.
It looks good! Much improved appearance over the old version. Not that I disliked the old site. But this one feels more modern. Good work, and thank you!
