NEW Forum Dark Mode

I have created a new Theme for the forum for people who might find it easier on the eye. 

The DARK MODE theme can be accessed by using the "Theme" selector at the bottom of the website.

That is nice to have, but now the light theme has a grey background and some other color accents that don't do much for readability, Personally I like better a white background.

Is this a phone feature? I don't see a "Theme" selector at the bottom of the website. I looked in Settings: Content View Behavior (and elsewhere) as well.

My mistake, when I was testing I restricted it temporarily. I have unrestricted it now. Sorry about that.

Have we lost the extended Edit period? I just went back to a very recent post within a few minutes of the inital posting and I seem to be unable to change it.

Just had the same experience earlier this evening Andy:thumbsd:

It has just moved to the three dots top right, we learned that means "more stuff here". And the hide and seek is gone when looking for "report post".

 

Nice update and nice colors, thanks again Mark!

Well the three dot method let me in and edit the post, which took a minute or so as I needed to put a picture on a hosting site, but then, on 'save' refused to do it saying it was too long since I had initially posted....:thumbsd: So there does seem to be a very short time slot after posting that you can edit!:mad:

I wonder how many would have my same answer if asked to "fix that" - it certainly gets added the list, just don't mention which list!

It would be a good idea if that once you are in 'edit mode' the time out reset. It would appear that in my example I was very near the end of the time to edit the post but that time expired before I could complete the edit and save it......Out of interest does anyone actually know what the edit time out period is? Whatever it is it looks like it needs to be a bit longer....

It’s been the same since we started this website years ago. This is the first complaint I have had in this regard to my knowledge. 
please suggest how much longer you would like?

As JDM already mentioned - there’s now a three dot ellipses which provides a sub menu. 
The developers of this forum software changed this in the new update - apparently due to ‘button creep’, an attempt to de-clutter. 
I like it.

What actually is the post edit time out? I suspect it is about 15mins but would prefer it to be longer and it would be 'nice' if the time out reset, while you were editing a post, it is very frustrating to do an edit, with extra information and pictures only to find that you can't save it to the post because the time out ran from when it was originally posted  ....

Could someone send me a printscreen the place where I can select this dark theme please? I cant find it. Tried to use my mobile too I still have no clue.

That's weird.  I've been it in, and now I've been reverted to white screen, and I can't find the "theme" section to click back to it.  It seems to have gone missing.

I have replicated your error and will fix it - thanks for letting me know.

EDIT: That was quick - I messed up, didn't add the new "Advanced Member" group to the Dark Theme access list - my apologies, fixed now.

    • Heres my watch of today, a Smith 13'" RY . My missus bought me this for this Valentines day a bargain 14.99 with a reduction, the seller has occasional 20% off offers now and then so it was about 15ish with delivery. I love Smiths and i love bulleye dials, this is my first one. The watch arrived non working as stated and i knew what was inside and what would be against me, but i enjoy a challenge, we dont expect a lot if anything from pin pallet movements. A balance pivot was broken and i didnt have another staff but i did have another RY with a battered dial so i robbed the balance and tweaked it around to make it work apart from that mostly just a good clean and relubrication. Keyless works are pretty rough by design and the crown is a bugger to get in and out with the dial on, the setting lever hits the dial before it releases it, so a little mod is needed to help that along. Major problem was the pins on the lever were quite worn which make the old tg have a snow storm fit. Its a similar read for most pin pallets, these were brass as was the escape wheel. But perseverance is me, i didn't change the pins but i did spend some time dressing and polishing the worn areas which improved the trace a lot with some straightish lines 😅 and a beat error of .5 . Not sure what the lift angle should be on these and i Wasn't in the mood to work it out and who believes timegraphers anyway, but at the default 52° it runs with 260ish full 210 after 24 hours dial down , the verticals rates were pretty much all over place. So lets just put it in it's superlight aluminium case and see what happens. Been wearing it now for 3 weeks and it's consistently losing around 1.5  minutes a week winding each morning i think pretty good for an old pin pallet watch. I just love this dial, thanks wifey heres my Valentine's gift for yer sweetie x
    • I have a PDF below that will help. The problem was the PDF wasn't designed for this purpose it was designed to tell you what size watch you  have. Then it doesn't take into account movements come conceivably in different thicknesses.   watch-ligne-size-chart.pdf
    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?  
    • Does anyone knows what size case a need for a dial diameter 20.60mm?
