Why doesn't this forum take 100 percent width? Why is there a bottom scrollbar to only scroll couple of pixels.
You can try using the forum on mobile if PC doesn't work well. Usually, the CPU threading is working better on phone than PC in some cases.Also try using WebGL or something of sort for that banner animation, because it really tortures the CPU.

Depends on case ofc
could it be your browser?Also try using WebGL or something of sort for that banner animation, because it really tortures the CPU.
Yeah, might be Firefoxcould it be your browser?
I use firefox with a user.js, and it gets laggy, the whole computer, than on vanilla librewolf, it has no effects.
I'm not sure what you mean by WebGL, but one can also pick the banner element with uBlock and ban it. element picker mode < pick element < create.
When you need to resort to another device or for external software to tweak issues you know the design is flawed. The best solution would be to offer selection box settings such as "disable featured content", or "disable head banner". That way everyone has built-in possibilities to change their own user experience based on their needs and wants.

What's Currently Still Being Fixed After Migration
, post: 485559, member: 71402"] Can you send me the links that don't work? Hi. It is these two https://ancient-forums.com/index.php?threads/pictures-in-case-you-missed-it-or-were-asleep-welcome-to-dystopia-communism.79695...www.ancient-forums.com
I made another recording to show how the browsing forum does not work correctly on the Firefox browser.
The side panel does not scroll down when scrolling down, except when the multilingual section is closed. In which case other subforums below do not show up at all.
Very interesting response considering that I have brought up several issues in a reasonable manner. I go beyond simply appreciating his work. I owe him at least one lunch already.Good things takes time and effort brothers. Lets first of all appreciate brother JG ApolloAbove for actively participating and contributing to all sites of JoS to troubleshoot, and implement new things.
He is working on the forums and on other things too, we can't expect him to do all our request in a week. We can't judge on how slow or fast he is, because we don't know how much problem he needs to solve, how much he needs to learn and research, etc. When we reflect on others, we should also reflect on ourselves.
My suggestion is that we should make a list of the problems, bugs, and suggestions we have regarding the forum. For example on JoS-projects, where we can all edit the list. This way, ApolloAbove can prioritize these things and see what needs to be done in one place.
BTW this comment is not for you specifically, Henu, but generally for this thread.

Because you were triggered. It's okay.As I said on the last line, it wasn't meant for you specifically, I'm not sure why I quoted you in the first place.
Because you were triggered. It's okay.
Also, the first post in this thread was made nearly 2 years ago. I'm not sure why it was bumped.
You can't cross-reference existing attachments. I noticed this upon translating the new year message. I had to upload the same video again instead of let's say, use the link of the existing file by [ATTACH = full] 1462 [/ATTACH] - (the same ID of the video file HP HC posted). This seems inefficient and could bloat the server later I don't know.
Now that some users have small symbols put next to their names, could you please put somewhere what the meanings of these symbols are? Some of them are more obvious, but some are not.
Also the new trophy for having majority of posts receiving good reactions. I'm wondering how this is calculated, since most of my posts were made before there were reactions. If it is just taking the average with total number of good reactions divided by total number of posts, then I could earn that.
I must mention that the search function is...kinda bad?
For example, I cannot search for specific term, and include that only. Let's say, I type in "solar return". I get result for "solar return", but I also get results for "solar" and "return", so I have to sift through mountains of unrelated stuff to find exactly what I am searching for.
No, putting the search term in quotes does not help either, which is weird, you would expect it to (in that case you would be searching for the exact string).
Search is definitely downgraded from previous platform, BUT, it is possible to manually improve it. Fingers crossed here.
Well, that's one thing, but overall old forum used to have more refined and advanced search, so I would say it's somewhat of a regression in that regard.I'll see what I can do. Frankly if all that can be complained about is exact search phrase not being respected, I wouldn't consider that bad.
I have never had either of those problems. I used filtering by poster quite a lot. Nowadays referring information to others via search is too cumbersome so I do it over 95% less than before. Fortunately, we have some resources handily available in repositories and joswiki, to name two examples.From previous experience with the old forum, if you searched something like "Runes" it would search recursively inside quotes. So you would get nothing but the word Runes inside someone else's quote, which was quoted from another user, etc. Sometimes the highlighted search term wasn't even visible within the search result, meaning you would just be staring blankly at a result with your search term nowhere in sight. This system doesn't search quotes.
The wiki and this forum use the same search system, but configured differently.I have never had either of those problems. I used filtering by poster quite a lot.

Wiki has concentrated information, and using "omni:" will filter results nicely so there is no issue there. The issue is finding relevant information here.The wiki and this forum use the same search system, but configured differently.

But then again, if it proves to be something too complicated to implement, I guess we can live with it. It was a suggestion after all.
I know, I have been part of that work. I simply wonder if the search can be customized, that is all.The wiki was started in 2021 and has required JG Blitz and a group of volunteers to meticulously organize the information. Not only that, but they still aren't fully done and work has been ongoing for years. So I would hope it would be easier to search and find information, as opposed to years of unfiltered forum posts of varying quality. That was actually the main goal of the wiki, so I am happy it works well for finding info. Should I wave my magic wand here and organize the years of forum posts too? It is easy to suggest some vague fix, but the wiki only came to be useful from years of manual work.
