It'd have to autodetect the time zone of the user which might get wrong sometimes, like some sites detect me as being an hour behind because of BST.

you already have to set your time zone (in Preferences). how do you think the site displays when posts were made?

oh

I forgot this wasn't MyBB, which auto detects it for you.

I love the portal and the option to have it full-width or not. It looks nice and it aligns right in the middle of my browser on my 27-inch screen.

Would such an option be possible for the forum? Reading a post doesn't feel very nice, when it takes up 90% of an 27-inch screen.

The toolbar for mobile just broke this morning in portrait mode on Samsung's browser. The "menu" button is now on top of the alerts/messages/user/upload buttons, which makes it impossible to select any of them

Edit: never mind, it looks like the problem solved itself :S

When a user has set their flag as UK, but not set a specific location, hovering over the flag does not show what country that the flag represents. This is an issue because my Desktop PC's display is 1080p with 125% DPI, and I have this site set to 110% zoom level, and even then I can't make out the tiny flag icon on the screen unless I directly view that user's Profile and open the 'Information' tab. Considering I have 20/15 vision, that is a problem.

I tested this with five different users across one thread, each belonging to one of 3 groups: 2 users (Group A) had their flag set to UK, but had no specific location set. 2 more users (Group B) had their flag set to UK with a specific location set as well. The last user (Group C) had their flag set to Antarctica, but had not set a specific location like Group A.

The results are that only Group A would not show a popup with what country the flag represents when hovering over it.

Could this be fixed? I assume fixing this would be particularly challenging, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

The Twitch button is missing on the mobile Site Index.

I couldn't find "Go to first unread" when viewing a thread on the mobile site...?

I dunno for you, but both mobile and desktop site take me directly to the first unread post of a thread.

Depends where from - eg yes in a forum index or from "Recent Content" on front page, but not from "Tutorials" on front page.

Yeah, well, the username is too long and it seems breaking words is not implemented, so of course the patreon badge gets extended to be able to contain the complete name of the user (when you check the details of the badge).
Erm... force shorter usernames or implement word breaking?

This is my first time seeing this happen, thanks for confirming it wasn't just me

I wonder if it would be possible to make the banner dynamic instead

O.o I could swear I saw the exact same post yesterday night.

Aye, I posted it in the Tempstyle beta thread.

tempStyle 2 doesn't have the option to change the name of your blog.

Nicely spotted! I can confirm this one. Only working with the older user style.

TempStyle 2 Dark (probably light also)
Desktop/Chrome/macOS

The watch blog entry button is unintuitive to find.
It should go just below the blog post, or below the comments.
Its actual placement at the right side below the blog roll is unintuitive, and specially hard to find when the blog roll is long.

Well, when someone already knows it's there, it is easy to find, but I think it is not the right place to put it.
IMHO.

Looks pretty easy to find IMO.

You are not picturing the "long blog roll" part of my comment.
And anyway, when you know where it is, it is easy to find already.
But TBH, it should be in the upper right corner actually, in the same place it is for threads.
I think it is better to make the whole site design homogenous, to make it easier to use.
