tempStyle 3 Q&A

Can I continue to use the old styles?
Change can be difficult but we suggest you try using tempStyle 3 for a while to feel the benefits. Unfortunately we are retiring the old styles and starting today they will no longer be available for use.

Why is the page so narrow?
Click this icon

in the bottom left of any page.

But what about the dark and black themes?
tempStyle 3 was delayed while work on the dark and black themes was completed. You can find more information on how to select them above.

I prefer right handed navigation on mobile?
You can enable right handed navigation in your User Prefs > Mobile display settings > Right handed navigation menu.

I cleared my cache and now my custom style is gone! How do I get it back?
Unfortunately, this is not currently an option but we are looking into it.

I made a cool custom style! How can I submit it as an official preset style?

I have a suggestion to improve the new style!
Please let us know in the dedicated thread by clicking here.

I found something that doesn't look quite right!?
We are still working on the new skin and bugs and some sections of the site may have been overlooked when designing it. Especially if using a non-default style. If you find a bug or something that looks unpolished or in need of updating please let us know in the dedicated thread by clicking here.[/INFORMATION]

Heads-up messages should use the secondary colour in dark theme instead of the tertiary one, because it's way too large of a surface to display a light colour.

Please don't use light 'shadows'.

You REALLY should just offer the option for people to stay on the old theme that worked just fine, if not permanently at least until these problems get worked out...

However, I don't agree with forcing a new style on the entire community, especially when some don't like it, can't use it, or whatever reason. tempStyle 2 worked just fine, I prefer it for more than purely subjective aesthetic reasons (though I do prefer it aesthetically as well). I see no reason not to add it as an option. In fact, I see no reason to have updated it at all, let alone a forced update for everyone.

While I agree that the new style shouldn't have been outright forced on everyone, this approach makes people see the rights and wrongs and submit feedback so the new style can be improved for everyone.
Maybe a better way would be to default to the new theme, but let people use the old one for a couple of months, while it gets improved.

The full Tempy logo is too large and complicated to be used as a favicon. Either create a more simplified (or zoomed in) version, or keep using the old one.

Bad contrast.

@alexander1970 do you have any settings turned on to clear session cache/cookies when you exit/close the browser? Do you have cookies set to expire on session end rather than until the cookies themselves are set to expire?

I'm aware of all the issues related to the custom styling of TS3 and am looking into alternative solutions.

Thank you for your Reply and your Advises.
I checked everthing double and three Times.

If I stay on the Site and klick on the Likns for eExamples "New Coontent" or "Blogs" and in the same Window on the Threads and Posts,it works.

But when I ope njust a new TAB (not a new Site) ,all is gone....
Also when I close/open the Browser....

I can try it on two other Windows 7/Firefox PCs and report you back.
Thank you.

 

[Alexander1970]

Unfortunately I am at a loss ...

3x Windows 7 Pro 32bit - Frefox 71.0 32bit.
1x Windows 10 Pro 64bit - Firefox 71.0 64bit

Nothing works ..... the other Themes are not "saved" either ...

But I assure you 100 Percent that the old Styles worked...

 

[shaunj66]

Several updates made . See first post.

The review approach section is incredibly hard to read with Rosy Blossom, and by extension my edit of it. I'm not even sure what I should be asking for here since it's just a theming thing. Maybe having the lighter background carried across to the approach box like in the all black theme?

I know a lot of the reviewers don't use the approach box but it'd be nice to see it all the same lol

The sidebar on threads just started appearing for me even though I always had that option disabled???

Have you pressed the 'collapse sidebar' button? It should hide the sidebar?

Oh okay but that also hides the sidebar on the forum list and all other pages that have a sidebar?

Hmm, can you check you have 'Hide the sidebar within forum threads' selected in your User Preferences ? Under the 'GBAtemp Options' section.

The animations of featured content cards glitch out some forum icons.

Profile post cards suddenly started acting up. There seems to be a background in the parts that were previously transparent, and the rounded corners are gone.

The glitch on icons seems to be a browser issue. Not much I can do about that, though it only effects certain icons. I'll see if I can swap them out at some point but it's not priority.

Popup post cards are currently effected as I make changes to some CSS values for custom styles.

I would like the categories to have drop down menus with subforums just like the navTabs, like it used to be. The only way I used to navigate the site.

 

[The Catboy]

So this was a neat bug to find

Did it go away after a refresh?

Same deal with thread locked-messages.

 

[Quantumcat]

New messages aren't working anymore - if you get a pm and tap the envelope you can only see your old messages unless you go to All Messages

This is on ios safari.

 

[nachuz]

Is this appearing white a bug?

Sorry for the late reply, it fixed itself after a refresh

 

[DeoNaught]

has this been picked about yet?
the sub forum drop-downs are transparent and hard to read
