Broken? style sheet in Graphics Forum header issue
-
@anomalaus said in Broken? style sheet in Graphics Forum header issue:
I wonder if the site admins have backups from a month ago. It might be informative to see if anything has changed. My suspicion is that someone is modifying a style sheet (other that the defaults) and letting it go live without sufficient testing prior to implementing some new feature. Otherwise I call "Shenanigans"!
Backups don't help. The data is changing in the bootstrap CDN, not in our site here.

They are looking into this.

@kalypso OK, well, I wasn't seeing it last night, but now that I've logged off, and rebooted the computer this morning, I'm also seeing that weird banner. I'm not having a problem typing this response, so we shall see what happens. I don't want to switch to Default, because my poor sensitive eyes can't take an all white background for any length of time.
-
It is impossible to post in the forums now, when you are getting white text on a white background.
-
@Deecey I had to set my style to default so I could read and post. Stark white background is harsh on the eyes.
-
@ghostship I agree which is why I don't want to change it.
It would just be nice to see it working again.
-
@Deecey You know, at first I was just going to say, that I wasn't getting any text at all. I've not been able to post while viewing in my usual Cyborg skin, but I thought it was because it was opening full page, and even though I tried writing a response, I couldn't see it, NOR could I select it, which would make it visible if it was white on white. In fact, there's no Discard or Submit buttons, just the white "+" in a red circle, and forget about backing out of it. I had to leave the forum and come back.
Sooooo, I just switched to the Default skin to type this message, and guess what I saw . . . you guessed it, I saw the 4 or 5 words I had started to type while in the Cyborg skin, so it WAS typing, white on white, but I couldn't select it, nor delete it. So white on white isn't the only problem. I couldn't Discard it, or Submit it, because the buttons are missing too.
Very weird, and I really wish they'd get this fixed.

Unbelievable!! Been 2 weeks and not a beep from SM about this and the problem is still here.
-
The issue is with the writers of the forum software.
Things like css, style sheets, etc, are pulled off of their repository.
-
There is a patch to correct this version of the forum software, or it can be updated to the newest version.
Let me see what I can do to get this resolved.
Thanks for your patience.
-
@shvrdavid Good news, thank you for letting us know.
-
I just changed my skin setting to No Skin and voila, this forum is now readable again !
-
Not for me. :(
-
Until now, I never experienced a problem with this forum, but probably living on the other side, I'm not using the same servers as all of you...
-
@ibr_remote Oh I had to reset my skin to Default to get it to work properly, not just for reading, but for adding posts, and the stupid banner area I was seeing with my preferred Cyborg skin.
-
I don't think I can take this white anymore. Is there maybe a specific browser or an addon that will dim the white on a page? I don't want to make changes to my monitor just for this forum.
-
@kalypso I have Chrome and an add-on called Dark Mode. Literally a flip of the switch, and you get a dark background. Some websites end up looking a little strange due to the change, but otherwise, it is probably simplest fix for now.
-
@Ghostman - the dark forum skin I was originally using has such small fonts, I really had to squint hard. The fonts in the No Skin forum version, those I can read more easily.
-
Now using the plugin for Chrome called Care Your Eyes. Works pretty good. Atleast the white BG is gone now. :)
-
Thanks, I got both and am currently using Dark Mode. I think I can go back to browsing comfortably now. :)
