Site maintenance

[Lithril]

Thank you for your patience today we had quite a big update to install which has added/changed some features. We're still reconfiguring but everything should at least be working now.

Let us know if you find any bugs.

 

[Chris]

Thanks kindly! I enjoyed watching the page reloading as it all changed about the place.

There was briefly a 'dark mode' option at the bottom if you scroll right to the bottom of the page. This is now showing as 'Alternate Theme', which turns the theme blue and the BCUK logo disappears.

 

[Lithril]

Ah rubbish, thought I'd sorted that.

Cheers

 

[Lithril]

That should hopefully have the variant style the same as the default. If you can double check what you see that would be great.

I could look into a dark theme in the future if it's of interest to people?

 

[Chris]

Dark theme would be amazing please! Think I suggested it a while back. Much more friendly for migraine prone eyeballs.

 

[HillBill]

Agreed, a darker screen option would be good.

 

[JonathanD]

For sure. Loved the old darker forum colours. And after years, my avatar makes sense again.

 

[Lithril]

No worries, I'll have a look. I like dark mode as well.

You might need to look at the email notification settings. It might have been a one off but the font was rather large….

For me text is much smaller and I can now only read wearing glasses. Fine when I'm typing, but reading posts is a pain now. Can you bring text back up to what it was before pretty please? I just cannot read a thing unless I am wearing my specs now, whereas before I could read comfortably if I held phone at a certain distance. Now it's just a total blur, and I can't make out any text at all.
I'm using an android phone.
Cheers.

Also, can't find anywhere to log in or out , have to click on a subject to log in, just tried to log out..can't find it. Used to be at bottom of page. For me, that function is now missing.
I'm logged on can't log off..I'm forever online
..help!

Yeah it is smaller. I tend to use my pc, but still need my specs on to see it properly.

If you go to the menu, then Settings, there should be an option on that page to up your font size. The default appears to medium, but it goes up to Extra Large.

enormous font again in message notifications on gmail.

 

[Woody girl]

I still can't log off.

I still can't log off.

Click on your name at top right and a menu appears , log Out is at the bottom, this is on a pooter not a phone mind.

 

[Stew]

I still can't log off.

Why do you need to? I never do intentionally!

 

[Woody girl]

Log off is missing no matter where I go, it was always at the bottom of the page before. There is no way I can log off.

 

[JonathanD]

I still can't log off.

You don’t need to. I’ve never logged off. What’s the point?

 

[Woody girl]

I don't want to be constantly logged in. I have always had the option before. I don't know why it's now missing. Please restore the option. Thanks.

As soon as you close the app on your phone you will be logged out. If you look at 'who's logged in list' you'll see that there's only 30 - 40 members logged in at any time at the most. If all of us that don't 'log out' were still logged in when we close our apps, computers, screens etc. that list would be much longer. You will not show as 'logged in' once you leave the site, open a new site, close the app, or switch off your device.
