What's with the 'Nigger' spacing?

to help tell posts apart until I can figure out something else.

What's with the 'Nigger' spacing?

God knows. I'm using Tor browser which has always had completely broken kerning and text rendering, probably for security reasons or some shit.

 

[OmnipotentStupidity]

Aside from the spacing, which you just said you're fixing, this is already an improvement.

EDIT: MUCH better.
EDIT 2: And it's back to the weird spacing again. Whatever that was, try and go back to it if you can.

The div :after content: “nigger” or whatever is A+, is this a permanent feature?

 

[spiritofamermaid]

The font is #fff. The green is copy+pasted hexadecimal. You are hallucinating.

Ah, I see. It must be the contrast to the black and navy as opposed to grey that makes it seem a different colour. My bad, then.

It's hard to tell new notifications apart from old ones in the alerts box, the colors are too similar.

I do not appreciate the word "nigger" between every post.

You can see upboats on A&N again....oh wait that's what people want, not an error

That's what I love about this website: the madman could have used a dash or tilde, but that would have been too boring.

In a similar vein to highlighted posts having a band around the top, maybe posts could have a slightly lighter band on the bottom, with it being brighter if the post is unread/new?

While we're on it, aping Something Awful's feature of quotes of your own posts being a different color would be handy, too.

I like it.

I don’t know but I’m really having a giggle over it

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Are you talking about the default forum font? It looks the same to me.

Null fixed it already

I don't know what people are complaining about re: post sizing. Going to assume that's a mobile/tablet thing.

here's a screenshot from my tablet. Hopefully it shows the spacing issue better.

I love the subtle "Nigger" title above each our posts now.

 

[Spasiba]

the menu at the top (forums, whats new, members) used to be 14px in font size and 14px in line height please change that back. the 22px in line height makes it too autistic. also line height and font size on main page are aids. it's like im on my grandpa's pc who has it on 500% zoom.

 

[Fromtheblackdepths]

If you change the font size, it actually becomes bearable.

 

[Zig Zag]

Yay it's grey again!

 

[GhostQtzz]

Could just be a mobile thing, but the difference in text size for a thread’s title and its description thing is too small and makes it hard to read.

Doesn’t look terrible otherwise, tho

Okay, since you asked: detailed feedback.

I'm actually kind of alright with this change, but there's a few issues: first, as everyone's pointed out the transparency makes things much harder to read. Even as I type in this box to reply, the text is so much more clearer and...to be honest, this color actually makes it stand out much easier than the other gray used before. I can see you alleviated that a bit with making the comic in the background darker but it'd probably just help if you made the backgrounds to posts filled in.

The font IS the same but for some weird reason in this new theme, the letters themselves look outstretched so that's probably why everyone thinks this is a different font. I've personally had no issues with it, just giving a reason in case you're able to adjust that.

The top bar with the dropdown list being scrollable, while I appreciate having, kinda clutters up the page a bit. That's mainly due to the boxes with FORUM, CHAT, Profile stuff, et al. encompassing them being way too big meaning there's a lot of empty space. The old theme had this too, but because it didn't scroll it wasn't as noticeable, see if you can maybe change the height of those boxes. The width seems fine. Otherwise, I would just disable the scroll ability if that's just not in the cards. Jury's still out for me on the floating profile icons, I'm gonna need a bit to get used to them before I can give a say on if it's a good or bad thing, but right now I'd really prefer there be a background on that too.

The only other thing I can think of is to maybe make sure there's no spaces inbetween posts as that kinda feels unnecessary. The gaps make it easier to look at these individual posts separately but AFAIK that was never really an issue. Overall, I'm alright with this new theme, it's definitely less intrusive and not as bad as I thought it'd be, but it just needs a few tweaks to make it look more appealing.

EDIT: That and on 100%: everything looks so incredibly small. It allows for more information to fit on a single page but it really needs to be bumped up, if only by a few pixels.

Can you adjust the kerning of a font without changing the font itself? That might be why the letter look outstretched.

My China theme is gone! Which is the main thing I don’t like about it at all. I hope they do come back. Maybe it’s about time to also add an AD styler so we can choose and pick our own color layout (like post font color, button color, header color, etc).
