Postmortem Blinded by the Light

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
After I post the text in the post window stays and is not cleared like normal.

Two more suggestions for High Contrast:
-The boldened bar on highlighted messages pop out because they are the same color
-The Highlight/New boxes should be colored outline like with the tags and page numbers

Here's an example and a mockup I made for comparison: (webp compression made the colors less saturated but you get the idea)

Update to this:
Seems to work fine if I attach an image, remove it and then upload it as a thumbnail from attachments.
What doesn't work is if I attach the image as a file and then upload it as a thumbnail. It results in a goop webp monochromatic mesh.

Both cases convert the image into webp, but the latter is unusable.

Thank you for posting this work around.

@Null I am having an issue on mobile where if I bookmark a post and try to fill in the message or labels the keyboard won’t pop up.
 
Using the main dark theme, the colors for links within the body of a post as created by [url] tags, and all other links are slightly different shades as all others. Compare the color for @CEO of Gay, or the report/like/quote/reply links in the footer of this post, to this link to Post #1083, where you can see the same. It looks like the normal color for links is rgb(107, 166, 94), where the color for links is rgb(137, 184, 127). It is subtle, but once you see it, you can't un-see it, and the subtle inconsistency is distracting.

Edit to add screenshot so others can see what was in case this gets fixed:

I had that theme on and it changed to not-ito looking comics. Then it just changed to default green. Bless you erverlerd
 
Opening links to posts that are towards the end of the page still open scrolled to halfway up the previous post.
The image preview/carousel is still cocked up and crushed into the right hand side of the screen.

My retarded ass finally figured out how to get the dark blue theme back.
I was using high contrast but it was pissing me off for some reason.
Thank you!
 
The "Post Reply" text in the Stealth dark theme is a bit hard to read with the light-colored buttons.

For consistency reasons, I would also appreciate a better choice default background color instead of what is presumably the default from the original theme for all dark themes, as I mentioned here:

Postmortem Post in thread 'Blinded by the Light'

All dark variants have a problem where the background color of the webpage do not have the same tone as the rest of the UI elements, so there's a very noticeable clash between the grayscale background and the bluish UI elements. It's really easy to miss since normally there is an image in place of the color, but if you're using the Stealth style or have a shit connection you can see it.

I suggest setting it to match the lighter half of the top bar, which is #22262a. The end result looks something like this (applied using Inspect Element), but do keep the heavily lossy webp compression in...
 
Why aren't any prefixes showing when I try to make a thread in a subforum where I'm required to have a prefix for a thread?

Glad to see the Stealth Theme finally available in Dark Mode.
