@mwmillersaid When you scroll down any long page, that top identifying row moves off of the page along with the data rows, instead of staying frozen at the top.
This may have to arrive later. I want to make a few things "sticky" (column headers & side bar when scrolling) but also don't want to hold up this release.
@mwmillersaid OK, I tried shift/f5 and ctrl/f5 and it didn't make any difference.
Shift/f5 tried to put firefox into some kind of recording mode, which I have no idea of what that is.
But it's not staying on my selected setting for the 'my games' page. I selected the 'compact' view, but it doesn't stay on that selection. If I open a specific game, then return to my games, it goes to the new option you just added I think.
I'm not experiencing this myself in Win Firefox.
If Ctrl+R doesn't sort this out, you can try to remove the cookies for the beta site.
@mwmillersaid @Russ I think there is a problem again with the 'my games' page. It came up earlier in the beta, and was fixed, but now it's back. I set the 'my games' page up to show the 'compact' view, but that doesn't stay selected. If I leave the page then come back, or just refresh it, the view reverts back to whatever the default is.
Ok, this is probably related to the me changing the view type ids for the new view type. I'll take a look.
@mwmillersaid I'm still using a laptop running win7.
I don't usually care for 'dark mode' but decided today to try it in the beta.
In one of my games, my opponent sent an 'in game' text message, and in dark mode I way barely able to read it.
I composed a reply and it was fine as I put it together, but when I finished the message and made and sent it with my next move, my reply was also ...[text shortened]... re in the chat log.
So is this just a problem with the beta, or does it need further attention?
I'll take a look at that, and get a fix up.
Dark mode in general definitely needs some refining, but not enough to hold up the update.
Thanks for all the feedback so far. Many issues have been addressed since this process started.
Next week, once further testing of the clan code is complete, this beta will become an Open beta which I would encourage everyone to take a look at. (A post will go into Site announcements & General forum to promote this.)
The following have been fixed (edited from lead post)
- More button ('...' ) options sometimes not completely visible (e.g. My Home, Urgent games)
- Home page text contrast poor in dark mode.
- Board defaults too large causing layout issues (off screen, requiring a scroll.)
- Close buttons not visible in dark mode ('X' ).
I've been making some changes to tablet sized formatting (specifically when landscape) so iPad rendering should be a quite a bit better now.
@mwmillersaid Is there a plan to update the FAQ section? I have found one thing that should be changed.
I recently recruited a new member for RHP, and explained to him that he needed to take a little time to think about what he wanted as a username, as it cannot be changed. He could change his email or password if he needed to, but the username could not be changed.
And then just ...[text shortened]... be updated by new users once within first 30 days. Subscribers can also update once every 365 days.
I've made a few quick edits to correct obviously incorrect information (such as account name changes) and added processes. (archiving games).
I've also added direct links to relevant settings pages. No idea why this was not always the case!
