Also in this thread to suggest bumping the posts per page? 10 feels like I'm constantly needing to click to see the rest of the new posts in a thread when it's not actually a super busy thread on a forum of this size.

Maybe regdate could be cut? or the format changed so it only takes up one line instead of two? idk

Also I had no idea that "Contact: [@]" didn't just start a PM to the user, haha

While I'm complaining, this blue is really garish on the dark theme

Screenshot_2025-07-15_12-26-09.png
* The notification type (Reply) is near unreadable
* There are no spaces surrounding the username

This is with the 1982 - Dark Readable theme but I suspect the missing spaces is independent from the used theme.

Would it be possible to default links to open in a new tab? This is my preferred behavior but I'm not sure if the forum writ large agrees with that, or how easy that would even be to do.

A possibly large thing:

I'm having a lot of trouble seeing when one post ends and another begins. I would love if every other post was a slightly different background color. This is one of the few features of Discourse that I miss, but I suspect it's not as easy as that sentence makes it sound.

EDIT: Nevermind I switched to the 1996 theme and this solved the "cant tell posts apart" problem lmao. i love this theme other than the giant looping GIFs at the top lmao

Lolo De Puzlo wrote: Tue Jul 15, 2025 6:42 pm For the large thing: So the 1982 theme actually does this, but the background colors are probably a bit too dark to see the color difference. I could possibly change them to be more pronounced and actually probably should.

For the small thing: AFAIK, this isn't possible in phpBB. and, for the record, not my ideal way of opening pages. I just rely on middle mouse clicking links.

Mandrake wrote: Tue Jul 15, 2025 6:52 pm Something which I find a bit weird is how the "unread posts" icon is an open envelope with a letter inside, while the "no unread posts" icon is a sealed envelope. Surely these should be the other way round? You have to open an envelope to read what's inside...

At least in the context of "local attachments are better than external linking because externally linked images will break at some point". Nothing lasts forever but seeing old threads with tons of broken images stinks.

There's many obvious downsides to this, primarily cost, but thought I'd throw it out there.

As there's no way to react to a post to indicate agreement, I'll risk being a bit spammy with "seconded."

I'm all for letting anonymous users read the forum with regular ol' HTTP, but for logging in or registering, or once you're logged in, I think requiring HTTPS would be preferable.

Or perhaps just giving users the option to show/hide that sidebar field to everyone while still having links on their profile would be nice too.
