Postmortem Blinded by the Light

Asking for shit? Okay, how about one of those animated cursors like from back in the early 2000s
like a little bouncing kiwi bird next to the cursor

Can we have the home button at the bottom of the page link back to the home page, or the old Forum > Subforum > Thread. Failing that there used to be a kiwifarms.st link near the bottom.

I don't know if this is caused by the theme issue, but I have noticed two things since the theme issue began.

First, the message that pops up saying "Messages have been posted since you loaded this page. View them?" does not disappear once the new messages do. It will remain, and clicking it multiple times will cause the same messages to be added to the page, as many times as I click on the link in the message, like so:

Second, whether or not I click on the link, once it appears, if I post my my message, my draft will remain once I hit Post Reply.

The jannies are probably going to have some extra double-posts to sweep up in the short term.
 
Not sure if this is intentional, but why can't you insert quotes on user profiles?

It's only possible in threads, for some reason. Somewhat annoying.
 
The featured submissions header has each entry taking up two lines when not logged in. Once you login it behaves normally. (Also shouldn't it be featured, or am I just being a sperg?) (Also also, the webp compression is...a bit much...)

Not really a concern, but I like the way the little clickable boxes for spoilers and stuff turned out, Nool. They look nice. I also like how sleek the options along the top of the screen are. Hoping the random text can fit in there properly at some point, I saw you adjusting it a few times through the night (at least I think I saw it changing sizes).

Things are looking sexy as hell now. Love the new Post Reply/Attach Files buttons. The dark with the green text, chefs kiss 🤌. I have a couple notes, some of which are mobile specific:

I do wish these icons were still green:

But I can see myself getting used to the white over time.

These should definitely be green though, same with the post's timestamp to the left of these icons:

Mobile header navbar would benefit from some bottom padding matching the top padding.

This footer section on mobile sticks out pretty bad. Maybe give it the same bg color as the forum itself so it blends in?

Also it's quite tall. Possible to also restructure it a bit? Maybe center align the text after the social icons? And center align the social icons? I would also flatten out the link list instead of having it as a vertical list, maybe with some styling to space items out?

Also the mobile sidebar, I like it now. Much better than the full green. I think the items could maybe benefit from some thin horizontal borders between items to help separate each list item a little bit

Also the "Style variation" item seems like it has a space at the start of the text because it's slightly indented, just a silly nitpick.

Could use some padding/margin between the site logo and top menu for when this situation is encountered:

It looks fine normally, but when you open the menu like I've done above, it touches the logo. And now that I zoom in on this picture, the non-mobile header menu could also use some bottom padding to match the top, just like the mobile headers.

Only thing i’d like to ask for is for someone to make a theme that gets rid of this block of space in this, or returns this section to what it used to look like. If someone has already asked for this sorry for doubleposting!

Not sure if it’s just on my end, but when I make a post and return to somebody else’s thread, the box where you type your replies still appears to have your replies and attachments in the box

I am sure it’s just a bug for now but it makes new posts a lot more difficult because you have to highlight everything and hit delete over and over again.
