Fitting four distinct characters into a 16x16 box is not as easy as it sounds. :)

We will consider yellow-on-black, though! We have something like six official neon highlight colours for the site, and we're using a logo with a different colour for each different page, so the main page & forum might end up being the pages that get the yellow logos.

There haven't been any complaints for over a month, this forum must be perfect now or something ;)

Small inquiry; is it possible to make it so that when you click a URL link the webpage opens up on a separate tab rather than redirecting you from the page you were on originally? I know I can right click and select "open in a new tab", but that's sooo much more effort ;)

I'll look into it. Opening in new tabs/windows is actually not optimal from an accessibility standpoint, but it's more convenient for ableists.

You can also ctrl-click, ya lazy bum!

I guess for me when I click on a link in the chat I don't like that it takes me away from the chat so I can't reply right away - especially if it's a page when I end up clicking on many things and have to press back multiple times to get back to the forum. But I never knew about that ctrl-click thing so hey, problem solved! :lol:

could it be possible so in chat you can see what time people send messages via your timezone?

If you mean your own timezone, change it in the User Control Panel -> board preferences - global settings. Just changed it for myself as times were off 1 hour since summertime switch.

If it's possible and not an issue, it'd be nice if it took two clicks to logout. Even if it's just sort of an 'are you sure...' Prompt. I log myself out accidentally more times than I care to admit.

A quick reminder to those affected: if you're using Summer Time / DST, you may need to go into your User Control Panel and toggle the "Is DST in effect" setting to get the correct times to show, since the time switched this weekend.

Good reminder, forgot all about it last week and hadn't noticed any differences yet. Summertime ended a week earlier in regard to NA.
