IT LOOKS DIFFERENT!!!

Tez

I’m trying to decide if I hate it or I’m just disgruntled by it looking different. WHY IS THE BAR ON THE SIDE NOW

Meg

i hate change. get off my lawn. thank you, have a good day.

MisterBoring

Big fan of the new layout.

Roz

I’m most annoyed at the colors of my preferred skin changing lol

MisterBoring

@Roz Wait, there are skins? Where?

Roz

@MisterBoring They used to be in your user profile, which they may still be, but now they’re also more accessible: there’s a paintbrush icon on the bottom left in the menu bar, and it’ll bring up a quick skin picker.

MisterBoring

OMG that’s awesome. Thanks for the pointer.

Jennkryst

It’s always sending me to the top of the thread instead of the last post I read, but I could be doing the thing wrong.

Edit: okay so now that I’ve said that it’s stopped, maybe it’s only when there’s new post?

Faraday

Does anybody know if/how you can make the buttons and stuff be across the top instead of the side, before I spend a bunch of time hunting for it?

Roz

@Faraday From what I can find, it looks like NodeBB built an entirely new default theme for v3 rather than continue to iterate on the old one. From this Github, I did find this:

For the v3.x release line, Persona will be a supported theme bundled with NodeBB, but will not be active by default.

So possibly the old style could be turned on?

MisterBoring

Would that old style be a per user option or a “we all go back to the old style together” situation?

Beyond using this forum, I have no experience with NodeBB.

Tez

Changed themes from the default since other people seemed to hate it as much as I do. Bar is back on top.

MisterBoring

Aww shucks, I didn’t hate the new layout…

@MisterBoring I changed themes bc everyone everywhere hated it and no one at all liked the new layout. I definitely didn’t take the fact that a few early voices agreed with my bias against it to excuse changing. Absolutely no one anywhere at all expressed approval of it.

Pavel

I can still see posts I don’t like or disagree with. This update sucks.

MisterBoring

@Tez I’m not broken up about it.

Did the fonts used change too?

Gashlycrumb

I don’t care what it looks like, but is there a skin where the page-up/page-down button does not cover up the drop-down to edit or delete your post when your post is the last one?

Edited to add that this is fixed, perhaps by magic.
