Please report any issues or bugs you find. We're still deep into configuration and it will take some weeks to become a well oiled machine.

Are the "light" and "dark" style variations the wrong way round? If I select "System" or "Light", I get a dark screen with white text. If I select "dark", I get a white background with black text. I was expecting the opposite. (I'm using Chrome on Windows 11 and my system setting is "light").

Defense Post in thread 'Which Post-9/11 American Wars Were Justified by History?'

hindsight.

@Klystron What would you have done(wrt to Afghanistan or the region as a whole where the Taliban trained), had the decision been yours back then?

First some housekeeping: As far as I can tell I did not receive an alert when you nudged my username.

Interesting question. I am GW Bush after visiting the World Trade Center wreckage. I would summon good buddy Saudi Prince Bandar "Bush" to the White House and demand an explaination for his countrymen's attacks on the Unitied States.

"Bandar, good buddy, what the hale was you thinkin'? Afore I git you-all on a airplane back...

Post #17 - @Klystron reports no notification when I tagged him.

When I select the link for New Posts, it automatically filters to just display Unread posts. I remove the filter when it appears but if I refresh the page, the filter re-inserts itself. I'm only refreshing the page to see if anything new showed up but I still want to see all of the new posts including the ones that I've read. Yes, I'm an admin and could *probably* change it somehow but I'm new to this software and would rather that @Greg Bernhardt weigh in on it so that I don't break something else.

EDIT: Never mind. I found the filter selection that fixes it. Just leaving this here in case someone else needs to figure it out.

I did receive notification for this. Difficult to ascertain which of the three inclusions triggered an alert. No reason to include the entire sequence. Inline "reply" only includes the text you select.

Is this an appropriate place to report this? I found it's the same on my Android tablet; "light" mode (or system setting with light mode) gives a dark background and "dark" mode gives a light background. If it is a bug, then there are obviously some compatibility issues with fixing it after this much time!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

yeah I'll look into this, thanks!

The mathematical solution would be to call it codark and colight.

Still seems the wrong way round, but today I'm seeing a glitch with some text becoming hard to read against a dark background (in what was meant to be "light" mode) in the following post starting with the words "only political" for the rest of the line. Somehow that text is coming out black regardless of style variation:

What's with this black on grey print?
I have seen it before once or twice>



This is from the Collection of worrying incidents thread.

The code (retrieved by pressing "reply" is

F[COLOR=rgb(28, 28, 28)]or that a certain interest and attention span is required. And for most of the "public" and most of the time it's just not there. Thus no opinion just bleating. [/COLOR]


It cannot be seen in the bright display mode (black letters on a white background). So who inserted the color tags? I have also seen it twice or thrice.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

hmmmm it is not standard. Maybe due to a copy and paste that copies style?

@Patxitxi This is happening to your posts, I think. Its odd that it always happens to the final few lines of text in your posts - do you have any idea where this formatting is coming from?
