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]

Hello Team.

It is very sad,I still can not use the new Style Themes.....
And yes, the cache was cleared 4,264 times, cookies were allowed and not deleted when you log out and so on.



Thank you.

Hello.

Today i am "forced" to use an other Browser (Edge) and the Style works with that.
Needless to say it has to do with Firefox.....

Wrong background color on the XP page? It doesn't go away after a refresh

On profile cards displayed next to posts, the image used is too small and appears pixelated.

Almost 2 months later and the tempstyler is still broken?
It's still just stuck on the dark theme and I can't open the theme chooser and change it to anything else
I already tried logging out and I'm assuming all cache would get updated after 2 months

Try a different browser? Works fine for me on Chrome.

Yes it seems only FIREFOX has this Issue....

Well that's upsetting... Seems like GBAtemp doesn't like the fox.

Yeah it seems to not be broken in ungoogled chromium but I'm not going to use that
It's broken for me in icecat 60.7 and palemoon 28.7.1 and I'm pretty sure it was also broken in mobile safari

Weird, for me it works perfectly fine in Firefox 74.0b6 on macOS and 73.0.1 on Windows 10, but not in Safari 13.0.4 or Edge 44.19041.1.0 (this is the old edge though, I suspect the new one will work since its Chromium based)

I tried it a few Weeks ago also on Windows 10 64bit...the same Result ......all Browsers except Firefox worked.

If I use private browsing on Firefox, the Dark Theme (or any other) just stops showing up after some mins have passed.

Also, opening threads in new tabs also seems to remove the selected theme back to default.

I guess it's worth mentioning that the colours breaks at random when you load a page, and is usually fixed from a quick refresh.
Really not a big deal but it's still happening.

Gonna point this out but on the mobile layout recent is literally the last item box on the front meaning you have to scroll all the way down

 

[xxNathanxx]

The search options are pretty cumbersome to access now. You have to click on the looking glass, then click on the gear and only then can you select to "search this thread only". If you want to access the advanced search, that's another click (though I suppose you could bookmark it).

I don't know when it was added, but you fixed my biggest functionality gripe. We now have an immediate edit button. I just got used to it being missing. Now I'm glad it's back.

My biggest issue with the switch is that now everything is way too huge. I feel like I need to turn this tab to 75% or lower to read the same amount of content.
Modernizing things are fine, but I really hate the new large bubble layout that mobile phones are pushing. I don't need massive margins on a desktop, this isn't a mobile device, so treating it like one is stupid.
Edit: I need a drop down to edit posts and report? Great, another abstraction brought about by the mobile themes that can't handle too much content on the same line without wrapping. Also, while we are at it, give us a way to disable the levels and message count, or at least compress it down. Single line posts are now 50% larger than they were in the previous theme that just got disabled.

Every last one of my actual usability issues from 18 months ago are remedied. Disabling leveling and message counts is a nice thing, but I'll take wide screen support over it. Bubble layout is a personal preference, and not usability.
@shaunj66 I love you. Thanks for all the good work.

I'm having troubles customizing the New Content Preferences:

Yesterday I accidentally replied to a thread on the Gamecube Forums thinking that It was the Wii Forums.
I'm sure I hid forums of consoles I'm not interested in / don't own.

I was sure I only had the Wii and the NDS forums "visible".
So, I went to the New Content Preferences and hid the Gamecube Subforums.

Once I went to the homepage, I noticed that indeed the Gamecube Subforum get's hiden, but the Playstation Forum gets visible. If I hide the Playstation forums, The Xbox forums appears.
If I hide the Playstation and Xbox and Gamecube forums, the Nintendo Switch and the 3DS forums appears...

No matter which forums (and subforums) I hide, they always gets replaced by other subforums!
It's like GBATemp won't let me hide a certain number of forums, because they always gets replaced by other forums.

Apart from it not saving i love dark mode....

 

[ShadowOne333]

Apart from it not saving i love dark mode....

Same :/
I'm still crossing my fingers for a proper fix to that, so the Dark Mode gets saved, despite if you log off, change tabs or use Private Mode on the browser.

Still stuck on the dark blue theme because the theme switcher gets locked on that and I can never change it again...
