Forum Downtime...

[Hippo-Drones]

There may be some downtime for maintenance on the forum over the weekend if Dan has time to do it. He has said he'll try and put a timer as a placemarker or something while it is down.
He is going to try to address the colour contrast issues some have mentioned as well as some other bits. Regarding the colour contrast issues, you can do a work around yourselves by making sure the "Toggle BB Code" button is selected, which turns the black writing white.
The downtime may not effect many of you over in the USA or further afield, as it'll possibly be while you are tucked up in bed, but UK and Europe may notice.

So nice of him to make time for this

It'll be good to sort that contrast out for sure. I can't actually see that title on my phone.

Any update on this? For the time being I've been overriding the styles on the site when using my laptop but can't on the phone. Would be lovely to get it more visible.

Here's a before and after:

I just butchered the style on the class around the multiline textbox, adding a color element. Not ideal for the real site but hopefully easy to spot why it's too dark.

I've dropped @dandoolittle a message, hopefully he'll be able to hop on and take a look

I'm looking at it now, but I might have to email support from the software. I can't find that one setting anyway

Forum will be a bit buggy for a day or two while I upgrade and change themes etc

Thanks both. Hope I didn't come across as being pushy. Didn't expect you to jump on it!

Nah, man, it’s been overdue for ages. I also run a men's mental charity in the UK thats blown job big time, so it’s taken up a lot of my time

I posted in the feedback channel, but may have jumped the gun, if other themes are already on the way. My apologies if so.
