@klaus Nothing to do with the browser. Happens with any browser on Mac or PC.

Your screenshot is not what i'm talking about. That's why I included a screen shot.

Click the magnifying glass icon in the upper right section of the page.

As you type, the "look ahead search" produces a list of results. The look ahead search result list font color is what i'm talking about.

Oh, now I see. I can reproduce the problem.

Luckily, you are an administrator of this forum, and you have IT skills, hence I hereby happily shift the burden of investigating the issue to you

Bad UX form to use ultra thin fonts in header material.

Just sayin', because I'm a dick and Klaus knows this. But he could use Comic Sans and it'd be okay. Thanks for all you're doing, it's crazy how many features you were able to add while keeping it bot-free.

I’m having a hard time reading everything here compared to yesterday, has something changed? Everything seems smaller. (On my iPad - maybe it’s just me, and I need to put on my other glasses. But it looks different. )

Jodi,

Post a screen shot. That might be my fault. I inadvertently clicked on the darkly skin in admin control and forgot to look at what it was set at before I did that. So I just picked the first one on the admin screen.

Klaus, does selecting a skin on the admin panel set the default skin? I was not aware of that. I thought I could inspect and or modify the attributes of the skin. My bad.

[Copper]

Yes, a new font is used on the General Discussion
directory page, it is less bold (skinnier lines) and darker color that blends with the background - needs more contrast between letters and the background and bolder font

It is hard too tell the difference between read and unread threads because the colors are similar and dark

I don't know, but I also noticed that the forum looks different now. Maybe you can revert what you did?

[Klaus]

I changed the default skin to "Paper".

It looks similar to what we had before but I'm not 100% sure it's exactly like what we had before Mark screwed things up.

Thoughts?

[Doctor Phibes]

Very sophisticated. I like it.

[jodi]

@doctor-phibes I like this font, but it’s harder to read - skinnier and thinner. Especially on the table of contents page (ok, that’s not the right set of words, can’t think of what it’s actually called ) - the light grey (read) and the light blue (not read) are really pale.

[mark]

I set it back to the "Readable" skin. Which I think is where it was before I screwed things up modifed the default.

You can modify your personal settings to change it to anything you like.

[jodi]

@mark Yes, it’s better. Especially the first page. Thank you!

I use dorkly darkly.

I do too but any "dark" theme has this issue with the type ahead search popup.

[Klaus]

Wait, now it looks different again? The "Readable" skin is still the default, though. @mark (or @Axtremus ), did you do anything?

I did nothing.

Is there a way to insert a bulleted list?

I see the little icon to the right of the Italics, but when I select text, it only puts a bullet by the first item. Inserting a CR after each item doesn't seem to matter.

First Item
Second Item
Third Item

=-=-=-=-=

• First Item
  Second Item
  Third Item

=-=-=-=-=

• First Item

Second Item

Third Item

[Klaus]

@george-k

• first item
• second item
• third item

Seems to work fine. You have to start each line with a * or another kind of bullet marker. I guess you can also nest.

• first item
  • first subitem
  • second subitem
• second item

[George K]

@klaus what am I doing wrong?

I make the list, then I select all the items on that list and hit the button. Only the first item gets the bullet.

First
Second
Third

[George K]

Ah, you have to select EACH line?

Well, that's a pain.
