Postmortem Blinded by the Light

• Reply to normal sized posts are white, which prior to the update, reply would be whited out when the post was too long to reply to, and could not be clicked.

• ITG and Chris icons are larger for some reason, not to mention the icons are no longer unique.

• Reply button color doesn't fit the now forced default theme (or maybe Insert/Attach are the ones not updated?).

• .webp - Total .webp death.

• On mobile, my keyboard wouldn't open up to reply to a post I wanted to.

• Globohomo corporate share button.

• Double site wide alert present, and in an awkward spot in reactions received tab.

Everyone, go to World 2 with your cannons and RIOT until this is fixed.

Don't fix it, Kiwifarms looks better that way anyways. I also like the stark contrast between the foreground and the background.

On a more serious note: I had some issues logging in. My credentials were correct, but the site would redirect to a white page that simply said "an unexpected error occurred" or something to that effect.
Same
 
I just keep finding things

god i miss my old theme so bad
1744551352467.webp

edit what the fuck man
1744551427683.webp
that second image didn't show up at all on the bottom until I scrolled

edit spacing got fucked up at the top completely
1744552020251.webp

while the Live Free or Die. link is broken down below
1744552062455.webp

and the "change width" animation is gone now, it just clips between both widths

edit I keep clicking the theme button on accident when I want to check notifications, might be better to move it next to the profile instead of putting it where the old alert button went? :thinking:

edit ???
1744552998194.webp
This was in between both sperging sections, not sure what it was before. Might want to change the name

additionally, eewwww
1744553055886.webp
formatting in this one is completely broken, the indents aren't making much sense and the green is very hard to read
pls fix

edit you can't click on non-.webp images anymore? For example, in the Dobson OP, you just can't click on the images. If you want to zoom in or see their filenames you have to right click and open them in a new tab.

Quotes no longer have any differentiation from regular thread notifications in the alert box (they used to have a blue bar on their left, and regular notifications had a white one), which SUCKS because that was like my favorite change to the alert box. Please bring it back.

The site is being extremely responsive at this point. Whatever maintenance you did was a resounding success.... minus fucking up the themes and random.txt.
ermm no akschaully it's bad because I'm not used to it. the farms are supposed to be SLOW. MAKE KIWIFARMS SLOW AGAIN NOOL, IT IS TOO UNCANNY

nah, really, that's probably the best part. Using the site feels great now, when not accounting for my eyes bleeding
I also really like how the Highlight and New buttons are colored, it helps posts stand out and make it easier to catch up! I hope that bit sticks around

edit: I also like the new scroll bar, it sticks out less and looks very nice

I have conducted routine maintenance. It went pretty well, all things considered, until I accidentally deleted the Dark Theme. So now I have to redo the themes. A good excuse as any to freshen things up a bit, it's been like 4 years since the last time i updated the theme.

If anything is BROKEN (as in, does not work) please let me know. If things are so ugly it's literally unusuable, also let me know. If things are just ugly -- trust me, I know.


P.S. You now see DMs in people's profiles. These DMs are DMs you can see. This is not leaking to the public.

Oomf my guy. Hope you get some Zs in
 
Ok, for all the Dark Theme appreciators out there: I whipped up a quick-and-dirty CSS fix.
If you have a browser add-on that allows you to use custom user styles, create a style for kiwifarms.st and paste the following code:
CSS:
  .button.button--link {

Here's what it looks like:

Some things still don't look right, so I'll probably post an update, but that'll do for now. Notice that this only works for Dark Theme (since that was the one I had buffered)

EDIT: EWWWWWWWW WHY IS EVERY IMAGE A WEB PEE NOW NIGGER WHAT THE FUCK
