Seriously? Do you have different markup to everybody else?
Does your view look like Squirrel's second screenshot? Cos mine certainly doesn't.
Does yours look anything like squirrelkings? Mine doesn’t do that weird thing with quoting.
A slightly wider white border on the lhs would be nice. The watermark keeps catching my eye as I move down the page.
But it's all much better now.
My experience was the same font issues as reported on the last couple of pages, that's running on PC with Firefox. So I find it hard to believe it cant be recreated.
And you've sort of sorted the SwiftKey thing but its still is sh*t.

No, because he has a load of buttons above his reply box 😆
Otherwise the only obvious difference is that the quote text isn't bold like in that, but I don't think that's what he's referring to. I certainly have the difference in font size between the posts and the reply box - from the markup https://singletrackworld.com/wp-content/plugins/stw-bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.min.css?ver=2.6-rc-6701 is included which has the following settings which apply to the edit box:
[code]
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
font-size: 12px;
}
[/code]
So you can see why I was being serious then?
I can see how you missed the point, because he mentioned font sizes, not quoted text looking funny. Do you not have the different font size in the edit box (it's also a different font family, but that's less obvious)?
I don't want to make a big thing of this because it doesn't bother me that much, but it's clear from the stylesheets that the fonts are set differently (and it would also be incredibly easy to fix).
Can anyone select text for quoting on an iPad? My normal method of either press or long press doesn’t bring up the usual selection box. Was going to agree with epicyclo about the watermark but can’t copy the text
edit:and now it works. I wonder if maybe the page hadn’t fully loaded and just took a looong while
Nope you’ve missed the point, we know about the font size believe it or not it may have been mentioned i. When he posted his pics, people proving pics is better than an “I have font issues” we could see that there was something weird going on with the his quoting too.
Yeah leffeboy is there’s a hang while the page loads you can’t quote.
Except that he doesn't mention the quoted text as an issue - from the top of his post "Here’s some pictures of the non existent font size inconsistency issues", to which you replied "Cheers Squirrelking no one has claimed they don’t exist it’s just we can’t replicate the problem so with pics that helps see the issues." which is what prompted my comment. So no, I'm not missing the point at all - the quoted text is an irrelevance. I've even given a link to the relevant stylesheet (the 16px font size is set in the main source code, line 197)
Yeah like I said you’re missing the point.
What exactly is the point you think I'm missing here?
<p>The bits in bold in the quote box. It's closed captions for web browsers!</p><p></p><p>Incidentally can anyone else see HTML paragraph breaks all over my posts or is it just me? I also see a load of div> sub class 12 etc. nonsense on quoted posts too.</p>
<p>Here's a good example of what I mean. Not every post but literally nobody else is commenting which leads me to wonder if it's just me getting weirdness.</p><p></p><p>
</p>
I'm seeing <p> breaks all over your posts but not anybody else's - the screenshot you give is of a bit which was all messed up though, I see the same as you there.
What he said. ^^
Been mentioned before, but the biggest 'issue' for me right now from a user experience PoV is the lack of feedback when clicking/touching a link or button. Small thing but just makes the site a bit weird feeling to use.
Did we ever find out what the point was that was being missed?
@squirrelking - the HTML tags in quoted text is due to people copying and pasting the user name as well as the text of the post.
Correct:
What he said. ^^
Incorrect (Note that I've copied Cougar's name and membership status):
<div class="bbp-reply-author">
<div class="bbp-author-role">
<div class="">Subscriber</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="bbp-reply-content">What he said. ^^
</div>
Hopefully that shows it.
Not in Squirrelking’s case whitestone, whenever he types it inserts the <p> html code after he hits submit.
Ah, OK. That's weird.
Are we any closer to having a page that shows us the threads we've replied to (and not the actual posts, out of context)?

I find you can't highlight/copy text once you started a reply. So you can copy someones post and then start typing your own post and paste it in, but once you're working in the reply box you can't scroll up to previous posts and highlight and copy from them.
I remember people were saying it would be good for the site owners to give some input rather than leaving it all to the moderators. It wasn't good. It certainly wasn't very professional.
So slow.
So washed out.
Preview borked.
And that floating header. WTF.
Could somebody just send me an email when everything's sorted please. Frankly I can't be arsed anymore.
Thanks
Marko
Things are so much better than a few days ago, good work chaps!
It's almost like when we were told that things would get bad for a while, then improve, you knew what you were talking about...despite the rage from the experts on here.

This would be great, the old way was much better than the current.
The sidebar is not quite as annoying now it looks less adverty.
Found a funny thing with the new search - it seems to target usernames - so if you search for your username you get loads of results from yonks ago. I found people wishing me happy birthday 9 years ago! 🙂
I'll try again, there's no quick way to change between bike,chat etc. Will this be coming in either the buttons back at the top or the 'Forum' in the floating header becoming a drop down like most of the others?
I'll put it down as a request. It was mentioned earlier, I think it's a good idea.
I can feel Squirrelkings pain he appears to be using Vista too, no wonder nothing works as expected, between that and a browser emulator his experience is ever so slightly a fringe case.
Aside from the Quote weirdness and the use/size of Consolas in the Reply box my experience is much improved compared to last week. Thanks guys (Chrome Win10 and Safari OSX).
IE11 shows quotes in a different font from Chrome - and usernames wrap over 2 lines, stretching the P and making it look crap.
How many fonts on one page?!
Thanks Cougar 🙂
Most of that Facebook stuff has now disappeared from the right hand side of the screen on desktop, which is very much appreciated.
The font within posts is readable, but the forum overview is awful for me, light blue/grey text on a white background, no contrast at all.
Having trouble posting a screenshot, sadly.

+1. Needs darker test like the rest of it.
Definitely improved over the last week but noticeably slower than almost anything else I visit by quite a long way.
O/T, On the “IE6?” surprise from the last page, in large companies especially with a heavy reliance on Citrix for providing non-local systems, IE6 is still very common. So, while you can reasonably disregard it for home users if you may get traffic from people in offices, it’s a possibility. I’m sure admin has stats on the browsers visiting, anyway so it’s a bit of a non-point.
Only a slight problem with an iPad Mini using IOS 10.3.3
I paste in text to quote, select it and then get an iPad window that obscures the buttons on the forum.

I assume I should just put a couple of carriage returns in before the text.

In fairness, it's almost as good as it was before they broke it.
There is no need to select the text.
Press the quote button, paste the text and then press return on your keypad.
companies especially with a heavy reliance on Citrix
I’ve just broke out into a cold sweat.
There is no need to select the text.
There is for other things, however, eg adding a link: write stuff, select words you want to turn into a link, and you can't get to the toolbar. It just so happens that on an iPhone (my SE at least) the toolbar wraps and the link button is on the upper row, so it's ok. But on the iPad it'll be obscured.
It was also an issue with the previous version of the forum, though.
Thanks Drac.
Edit: and Bez.
Bez if you have the buttons then.
Then do this it works best in portrait mode on mobiles
Then you get this
Yeah, thanks, that's a workaround. Terrible discoverability and usability though (and I know that's Wordpress's fault, and I'm not expecting it to be fixed).
Hahaha!
Maybe for the likes yourself and other tech wide guys Bez but for others it’s a feature to allow them do what you do.
Just back to this after a few days off.
WOW its like going back 10 years.
Apologies if this isnt constructive so feel free to ignore this post but just wanted to vent.
