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

@mark said in Forum Issues:

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.

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?

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 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?

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.

[Klaus]

Oh, so you are selecting an existing text and want to convert each line to a list item?

Hm.

A "low-key" solution if you really want this would be to select the text, pop up a "search&replace" dialogue (which may or may not require a plugin in your browser of choice) and replace all CRs by "CR* ". If you are a Mac OS command line nerd, use sed.

[George K]

@klaus let me try that....

[jon-nyc]

It looks like you can create a list as you type

• by
• leading
• each
• line

with an asterisk and a space.

A complication would be that you need to know how to "type" a CR into your search/replace dialogue. That's a hard task for old farts some.
