Probably belongs to a separate thread, but...
Any chance to increase the font size for the code tags body?
It's barely readable as it stands..

Sorry, I'm not following you. The code tags are already huge (see attached) on all versions of my desktop browser (Chrome, Safari and FF) and on Chrome on mobile.

The code font size are the same as they have been for years.

Sorry, I stand corrected - my zoom was at 90% in FF.
Sorry again..

No worries.

It's easy to get confused with a site is changing.

That's why "the big companies" offer previews and "go back to the old site" links until the transition is done.

We don't have the luxury of operating like a company with a building full of web developers, but we can use the same tools.

I am considering changing all the legacy tables to use Bootstrap table CSS.

LOL

What should we do about unread confidential posts? Add another badge? Alternate them? Or just add another badge in another corner? Use one badge and just change colors? Or just change the blinking rate when there are unread confidential posts? Not sure how to proceed with badge notifications for CPs (confidential posts).

What do you think?
I'm happy with the numbers in various colored circles around the avatar.

I'm still concerned about manually clearing confidential post counts by hitting the "Mark Forums Read" button. Hitting that button builds in a race condition that can clear notification of unread confidential posts before I receive notice that new confidential messages have been posted.

It was that way before.

When one of our admins wrote that plugin years go he did not add any hooks to update the notification system (to my knowledge) when a confidential post is viewed; and so it was the same before; however, it was not noticeable because it always appeared in the text area (at least for me) so I always had to clear notifications for confidential posts the same way. Nothing has changed from before except the fact it is more noticeable now because of using badges.

The notification feature increments not only for confidential posts, but according to the code, increments for all notices (posts in mod queue, picture comments to moderate, etc) except PMs. It may be that the notifications will update (decrement) with the vB cron during periodic system updates, but I've not testing this yet.

I will write some debugging log code in the notification system and see if I can understand how to make this even better; because I would like for these notifications to update in near real time without refreshing the page (or marking the forums read); and that goes for the PMs as well.

Thanks for staying on top of this.

OK. I just checked (step 1) and the plugin that is responsible for the confidential posts does not use the built in notification system and instead sets it on global var for each user:

Code:
$newhiddenposts

I'll dig further and see if I can get this to update after a confidential post is read.
