I've still got the image uploader issues in that it'll take multiple attempts before they'll attach. These ones didn't . Double space isn't giving me a fresh capital in the text box, either. Occasionally getting a double first letter. Firefox on a Samsung S20FE.

That is interesting, I had that bug before a while ago, but thought I'd fixed it as I'd not seen it for a while.
Double space thing I'm unaware of, I wouldn't expect that to give a capital. May be device dependant (I'll see if there is a setting for the editor that prompts the device to do that??).
Today's list:
Plain text editor (useful for me for debugging too)
Old background colour (adds more contrast for the menu now)
Hide/Show menu on all browser sizes, with memory of your choice.
If I can get to it:
Font size on Likes text Like, Reply, Quote, Edit to move to icons at smaller sizes
Sticky navigation for paging (trying to work this out without eating all the top screen real estate on mobile)
Unlikely but I'd like to get to it:
Time to play some video games.
After that: Just discovered you lose strikethrough text when you go back in to edit something that already has strikethrough Editing issues, seems to be better than it was in what I've done over the last few hours, but likely still lurking problems around Quoting formatting causing issues (multiple problems here, but I think they are likely all the same root cause) Image uploader problems (if I can repeat them) Quotes within Quotes definitely an issue still, need to work out a fix for that. Style Editor Switch button (all of which means I'm going to be doing javascript a bunch, my least favourite programming language)

Nothing major and it all appears to work fine on my iPad using Safari however… In the burger menu there was a selection for Bookmarks which appears to have disappeared since yesterday. Has that gone somewhere else I have yet to find? Also, and I realise this is a minor thing in the great scheme of things you’re working on, if there was a new post on a bookmarked thread it would appear with NEW next to it. Now I have to go to the select menu and choose Unread to see what’s new.
Like. I said, it’s a minor thing that feels like a step back but I have no idea of the implications that minor things can have on the big picture so it may be a necessity. Thank you for your continuous work on giving us the best possible forum!

Bookmarks are on the top menu now, between the profile and mail. I don't have many bookmarks so I'm not sure if they are working as intended, I know the mail and profile things are, so hope the bookmarks are. If not I'll have a look at them. The new post type functionality is unchanged. It could well be a pre-existing bug in proboards, certainly the stuff that jpsmit observed with the things not being marked as read is well outside the control of me and the styling update. Just testing the plain text editor edit state, don't mind me

Some signature images are causing the page to shift left like this blue space on the right (8" Android tablet landscape 1280x800 Chrome) The editor switch seems to work OK 👍

apologies if you've already answered this (I've not read every post of the 4 pages) but how do you attach photos from other sites? I used to be able to copy the image address and post them in there but I cant find the function for that now. The paper clip just opens my file browser. The link function just posts the URL for the original site where the image comes from like this - encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTKx9DQD8N_EUb7TLlBrYcVWiTIHMjRLY2iFcO0HwhBI4tC9S31fEq5mWEp6W836pFmp6k&usqp=CAUThis is what the reply box looks like on my computer- The way around this I can think of right now is to copy images onto my PC then re post them that way.

Couple of niggles from me (Edge on window 10) when you get to the bottom of a page and click next, its then going to the bottom of the next page rather than the top
When going to a previously viewed thread, there used to be a new button that would take you to the 1st new post on it, at the minute this seems to be missing and clicking on the thread takes you to the 1st page and have to try and remember where you had got to. (although returning to this thread to edit this, it did bring me direct to my post?)
When I'm in one of the sub menus (build threads for example), the top banner is hidden (where you can click back to the level up), but it is there if force the scroll up it appears, but as soo as I let go of the cursor, it scrolls back down to hide it
Visually, not a fan of the menu on the side, doesn't really add anything being there all the time prob because 99% of the time I only ever use the forum and not the other options on it.
But, at the end of the day, this is a free forum so cheers for continuing to develop it to try and make it a better experience for all (and such things as resolving the photobucket fiasco ) and it still being a thriving site

I can't see a link for that function either, no doubt it will be added at some stage. But for now just use img tags like this. ( img) address here (/img) The round ( ) brackets are so you can see my example, you need to replace them with square brackets [ ]

Let me try this If that works, I did it the old fashioned way with squarebrackets and img tags ... I'll see if I can make a more user friendly way to do it. My ultimate plan is to have linked images upload to RR. Although with a link like that it doesn't have .jpg or .png anywhere in it, so what I have planned probably wouldn't work.

I'll look in to this, it may be because I now have two paging elements and it is getting a little confused. What I've done shouldn't change this behaviour, but maybe it is a knock on from it no longer being sticky...
This stuff definitely shouldn't have changed, but I'll double check I didn't accidently delete something that makes this operate when I changed the layout on the thread listings to have avatars either side.
Yup that's on me, just missed those sub boards out when testing, will see if I can get that resolved, unlikely today, but it is now on the list
Yeah the hide menu and remember option is going to be the key to this I think. I'll try and get that functionality working today. Only snag I've come across is even though it remembers your choice it hides it anew each page you go to, so it kind of flicks up and goes away, which isn't a good experience. Particularly when I start finessing this thing with some nice transition animations and such.
It is free, but people should expect a certain level of quality and usability.

I umm'd and ahh'd about signatures. Thought they could be a thing that displays in a users profile more than in a thread, but then you miss the links to people's builds and stuff like that. I may make them text only, which I think is an option in Proboards itself, rather than me doing anything

Is there a facility to limit signature image dimensions ? or a proboards plugin ? I know some forum software has this option. For info: regarding the next button, if you click next at the top of the thread it takes you to the top of the next page. If you do the same at the bottom of the thread it takes to the bottom of the next page ( back works the same way)

Am I missing the "new" icon somewhere? Or should I be looking for another way to jump to the first unread post?

Okay Menu is now hidable on all sizes... I need a better way of dealing with it appearing and then disappearing. I'll have a think on that and an experiment. So for the time being you'll just have to put up with it Also as a result of that change I've changed a bunch of the content width changes... so see how you get on with those. I'll try and do this top nav thing next and then I'm going to call it a day and enjoy my Sunday.

Pagination still not right, but it is now sticky ... for some reason it doesn't scroll to the right location when going to next and previous pages. I'm not 100% sure why, all the right stuff is in place for it.

On my iPhone this afternoon, in desktop top mode the screen is filled with a menu only giving a 15mm slot at the bottom of the page to see text. I’ll try and up load a shot but I don’t think I can navigate to do it
