Great changes @AnthonySmith! Would be great to have a little bit of padding between the store badges when equipped

yep, that can be done, I will work through the first part of the list first and then probably ask for UI opinions and duck for cover for 3 days again.

weeee LETv2 with space invaders!

You can equip up to 6 badges. Unequip one first.

OH NOES.

Custom title for the win, no abuse, thanks.

Thanks for the admin role, I will help!

Fun, but don't do that, I am stressed enough.

Sorry, this is why I put the post in!
I've changed it.

I am not sure if custom titles should be for everyone (or they need to cost mooore, much more (like 2000+ and have a public changelog?).
I don't really want to people upvote "other people" aka multiaccount single post just for karma so they can buy this and then send PM's with tag "Administrator" or "SYSTEM" or "Payment Required" FFS

AnthonySmith

I just need a not allowed words list really i think.

@AnthonySmith Minor - Not sure if you are tracking this one, I noticed the poll options number are off as I add new options.

Everyone makes the same mistake of putting the question into the title, then the first answer into the question.

Every one does it, no one notices

Check again haha.

stupidgenius

Okay, I got what you mean. Thanks fixed it. Still it goes from option #1, #2, then #13, #14, etc. (Does it mean Option 1.3, Option 1.4, etc.) or is it a bug?

aphs

Dark mode notifications are buggy CSS

Multiple badges should probably have a bit of margin-left:1px or 2px

Personally, I do like the brighter green!

Thanks so much to Ant for all his hard work!

I blame Vanilla for that. Question should be highlighted or gapped more thæn options...

The custom titles, badges, regular titles, are all of different sizes...

I'll pay 1k karma points for the flan! Of course it should be the most expensive item of the store (wtf apple?), at least until Christmas.

Send me the image you want I will add your flan and let you set the price and limited quantity.

5 units. 1k points.
Only flans for ORL.

Hey, were can start somewhere... I think .MItem.LesKarmaStore-badgeRow { margin-bottom: -3px } gets pretty close to baseline

If the theme is switched I was expecting an inplace update, not a full reload of the page. Causes one to loose track on current page and advance to next page

Well, my thinking was, you mess around and find the one you like; you are not switching theme in the middle of reading or posting, so effort/reward sum = reload is fine.

But maybe I am missing a common user case for switching themes; just because I don't see it does not make me right; happy to listen.

Nice work, being able to switch between all the themes from one place easily.

Looking forward to seeing the vBulletin themes flattened out with all the categories on one page, like regular Vanilla.

You might try pure white for the text on the vBulletin dark theme to see how it looks with better contrast.

Wow LES is looking really great!! 🤩 Nice job!

The space invader animation thing seems to be spiking up my CPU usage. Just an observation.

Clearly I'm not the only one who misses it at the top but am I the only one who wants it back?

Can you let me know how you found out its that specifically so I can replicate and debug?

AnthonySmith

@nullnothere said: Clearly I'm not the only one who misses it at the top but am I the only one who wants it back?

Did you honestly use it often? Not a loaded question, to be honest; I did not even know it existed until someone said it's not working.

On mobile it now requires two clicks to get there, that will take a while to get used to.

On the other hand it's in a lot of different places across different boards. So it will always take a while to get used to.

But congrats to @AnthonySmith again, this time specifically for aligning the labels and badges and all that shit. That was teh most annoying thing to be honest ;-) ;-)

So I guess what I need to do is make an active header plugin so you can decide what you want yourselves on the header, default of build your own. I guess that solves that, if I add to much to the header it messes up the layout for others.

I am still amazed how much has been said about drafts in general. I accept I might be the odd one out here, but I literally never used it on either green forum in 15?!? years haha, so this has caught me off guard. (Does not mean I am right)

Yeah, the alignment was painful; there is still a list of UI tweaks to do, things that are not quite right, I can see them, its gonna be lower priority but i will get to it all.

@AnthonySmith

THX for the new features, I find them good awesome.

I have just one request/ thing to add. Company Registration Number should be mandatory for providers.

WSS

For whatever reason, I was logged in this morning and getting annoying popup ads on mobile.

there is a dedicated appology thread for that

Some providers or service providers are sole traders.

The community will decide who is a provider or not going forward the vote system is already in place and fully automated, if thats the thing the community does not like, they wont make it through.

I am also going to be removing all non-active hosts in the next week or so so we have a better picture.

I totally get why you say that, but we have some good long-standing people working as sole traders here, and my goal is to make the place as self-moderating as possible, so I don't want to enforce that as it does not prove anything, I can register a company in many places UK/USA and be totally anonymouse and do it in less than 24 hours, it does not really prove anything, its obviously best, but .. well, I think its best to let the community decide, a good example: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/11110/hosting-provider-request-zoo just so you see how it works now.

AnthonySmith

aaand the side bar threads are clearly not updating hahahaha, no one noticed (or reported it), I guess that shows how useful the sidebar isnt.

But maybe I am missing a common user case for switching themes; just because I don't see it does not make me right; happy to listen.

To me it the theme preference could change depending on the lighting conditions/ device used - especially when switching. I have rarely seen any implementation where page reload happens.

Wanted to simply point this out. It could be a low priority item.

lemme look into it then, makes sense.

I use it all the time - it's my way of "catching" up so that the next visit shows "new" stuff. It's hard without it (for me) as otherwise I get lost on all the goings on.

LES and OGF have it right up there in the top banner/part and so it's really quick-n-easy to just skim, read whatever is interesting and mark all read so that the next visit is fresh.

Pretty please bring it back to the usual spot.

Doing it for the main 3 (dark, light, grey) is fairly trivial, so thats done, hopefully that works for you. it still kind works when you go to vbulletin themes but not so much going back

aphs

vbulletin dark has some rough colour combinations; body.Section-Profile .ProfileOptions .Button-EditProfile and .theme-vbdark a, .theme-vbdark .Frame a (!important) clashing

Not_Oles

@AnthonySmith Thanks!! Thanks!! Double thanks for fixing the top bar!!

Peaceful! Green! Spacious! Almost like a walk outside in the forest!

Here is what I was seeing just a moment ago, before posting this.

I love the store. I can spend money the way I can't in real life.

lapua

@AnthonySmith said: Did you honestly use it often?

i use it daily when i leave les i do mark all thread viewed/read.

"Show LES" and "Store" i never use.

MichaelCee

The About page was very out dated. I made some minor changes to mention the handover of the forum and that there is no donation system

And I do exactly the same, and guessing we are far from alone.
So if I can add: "Please add it back to the header!"

Done, About moved to footer along with privacy policy

AnthonySmith

ok so, from a functional perspective, the only thing remaining is switching the new member registration system to use cloudflare turnstyle instead of google recaptcha and manual audit from mod/admins, i am going to finish that today hopefully.

I understand the vbulletin themes are still a bit messy, they will probably be a longer term work in progress, the main 3 themes should be as they are supposed to be now and also with a none reloading switcher.

Mark All read is back, hopefully the header still works ok for special resolutions for visually impared.

If there is anything else you want changed, let me know, but please consider the wider audience when doing so.

after this I am going to work on the optimisation/speed more, its just basic memcached/opcache + cloudflare and fom tuning right now, for me it feels about the same as the old one even though I now have about 90ms extra latency, i am sure for usa peeps it feels faster.

Then we get to the blog finally!
