Update:
Did a lot more today:
1. Updated the center nav bar, adding a drop down for man pages.
2. Added some more menu items to the drop down and rearranged.
3. Added a few things back to the quick link drop down.
4. Cleaned up more code and fixes some formatting issues in the usercp and options area (by turning off Bootstrap CSS on those pages and more).
5. Used some JS to collapse some things (forums, activity, whois, etc) by default on the home page. However, if you uncollapse them they will stay visible.
6. Fixes some drop downs for guest users (search and man).
7. Change the background color of the code tags (for fun, from very opaque green to opaque blue) but left the quote tags very opaque green for now:
Code:
background-color: rgba(7, 27, 183, .05);
If you want other colors for the code and quote tags backgrounds, please post with rbga() suggestion. Also, if having some the forums on the home page collapsed by default is annoying let me know which ones you don't want collapsed by default).
I'm still getting (what I think is) strange behaviour.
I log in, click on "New Topics" from the menu bar, it says "Sorry" there are none, etc, but then, if I don't touch anything (just let it sit there), it times-out after 10+ seconds and goes to the "Search Forums" page.
Is it supposed to do that? Or, again, I'm I doing something stupid?
I can see me being banned. ;oDD
Both logged in and NOT logged in, not sure if this is a bug or required by yourself...
Hope the gibberish makes sense...
When the mouse pointer is over the pull down menus they switch perfectly.
BUT, when the pointer is over a non pull down menu ready to be accessed they don't cancel.
They do close down IF the other menus are actually accessed.
The cancel if you click anywhere outside the the pull down menu area.
In the image the snapshot does not show the pointer, BUT, the menu is highlighted to show the pointer is over the HOME menu...
See image of NON logged in mode...
EDIT:
OSX 10.13.5 using fully updated FireFox.

I have tried the menus on FF, Chome and Safari (all on the Mac) and they work the same they have always worked for the past 10 years. There is no changed behavior because the JS is the same.
You click on the little arrows, they open; you click on the arrow again, it closes; and you click on an arrow it opens and you move the mouse to another area and the new menu opens and the prior menu closes.
This code is controlled by a JS which has not changed a decade and it works fine on all three browsers (FF, Chrome, Safari) and works the same when logged in and logged out.
In other words, nothing has changed since 10 years, the behavior has not been modified because the behavior is based on the original, unmodified "vbmenu_control" and associated JS, and I just tested and it works fine.

Since you are on OSX; I suggest you make a screen movie and post it.
I am running Mojave (Beta 3) and it is very easy to take screen movies from the menu.
Upgrading to Mojave is no problem (I'm been running Mojave since day one, but you have to join the Beta program with your Apple ID); to be safe, make a full TimeMachine Backup before upgrading.
I kind of liked and has gotten used to New Topics and Quick Links being next to other in the nav bar as I keep bouncing between the two most of the time. Others might have different opinion.
I think the User Header (not sure if it's the right term) display uses lots of real estate. I'm a minimalist by nature and think some space can be squeezed out to make the header not as bulky comparing to the "body" of the post itself. See attached.

Hey,
Upgrade (step 1) the posts, by putting a "user info" icon in the top right and making it so it toggles the user info.
The user info icon has a badge which shows the number of posts. I will have to dig around in the code more to get the total posts thanks and other badges working; but... (22 Replies)

4. Post Here to Contact Site Administrators and Moderators
Just wondering why the board is configured not to show any avatars in the post displays? I haven't seen anyone else asking this question and there is no mention of it by the admins anywhere (correct me if I am wrong).... A little bit of playfulness would do unix.com good :) (2 Replies)
