Odd Hyphen observation

When someone has an image in their post, if you click the image from the front page instead of taking you to the post it takes you to their profile. Baffling behavior.

@100percentjake That’s because how the platform handles thumbnails is to replace the user thumbnail with a large one selected in the post, so the url is to that of the user.

It’s on the list to tinker with and see if we can get different behavior from it.

@jminer aaahh. What's the site built on? Other than bootstrap css classes I don't see any obvious hallmarks of existing forum software here that I'm familiar with.

[jminer]

@100percentjake It's a pretty unique forum that it is running on top of. Nodebb is the platform which is a node.js backend with a CSS wrapper.

We've customized it a good deal already with more coming.

@jminer that sounds dangerously flexible AWS I'm assuming?

Any chance I could make some stylesheets and get them added to the theme switcher? Certain UI categories aren't visually distinct enough from each other and it makes navigation a bit of a challenge for me.

[jminer]

@100percentjake Yeah, on AWS. We’re not mucking too deeply into the platform right now, but are injecting bits of css here and there to adjust certain bits of the layout. We’re only starting to use the categories now and almost everything is in the main Oppo category.

What in particular are you wanting to adjust?

@100percentjake it is annoying but i can live with it

@jminer I'm on dark mode; I added a 1em padding and an rgba(0,0,0,0.2) background to .topic [component=post] .

Adding the same low-opacity contrasting background to .category [component="category/topic"] on the home page helped keep the topics from looking lost in a sea of the background grey. Adding a 0.5em bottom margin to the same element helped clearly separate the posts from each other.

I haven't yet seen how this would translate to mobile as I don't generally use forums on a phone.
