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
upload_2019-12-31_22-5-17-png.191864
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?
Please use the tempStyle 3 styles thread by clicking here!

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]

Hi,
Not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but the post preview page width doesn't seem to match either the narrow or wide page view settings, so what you see in the preview isn't actually what you get when you create a post.
It would be nice if the preview matched your current width setting.
Edit: upon checking, I think the preview only doesn't match the narrow setting, but the wide one works fine.

As an aside, I think a "middle" setting between narrow and wide with the "preview" layout in question would be a great compromise for people who aren't satisfied with either current setting.
The narrow one has a lot of unused space on the sides, and wide means sentences can get very long.

Do you allow "Extract Canvas Data" for gbatemp? Try clicking that little picture icon on the left of the browser's address bar.
i had it on "default - ask always", but manually giving permission fixes the thing, thanks

it did not ask for permission at any moment tho, now im angry at the browser :v

I've noticed two bugs recently:
In forum view, avatars are stretched a bit:

Opening the image viewer anywhere on the side shifts all content behind it down and left a bit:

I'm using Chrome 88.0.4324.27 on Windows 10.

Ads are showing up for me on this site now despite using adblock. I don't have a problem with this but I'm wondering is this a new thing that the staff are doing to bypass adblock? Are too many people using it?

No it's not , unless the ad network made a change we are unaware of.

Could you provide a screenshot or more details?

It only happens on this website, so I'm sure it's not adware or anything. Every page has ads on the top and bottom, sometimes on the sidebar (such as homepage). As far as I can tell, they're all non-intrusive.

Use ublock origin, not Adblock Plus. ABP enables "safe ads" by default as they're paid by advertisers to allow ads through their "blocker", so if you never disabled that setting, there will be some sites that still show ads.

Ublock Origin, however, doesn't have any such feature, and works just fine for blocking ads here

These ads still support GBAtemp, I assume, and if so then I'm fine with seeing them.

It might just be me, but I would appreciate a few more body background patterns in the future. A less noisy block grid in large or small sized would be nice, or a tiling GBATemp logo would be my suggestions.

I do love the new styling system, though. It's nice to be able to set up a proper dark theme with Tango Desktop Project palette options. It's a hell of a lot more versatile that what, say, Twitter has now for an example.

When using a mobile device with a larger screen/resolution, the top nav bar's "..." button is impossible to use, as the menu instantly closes after you tap it. I imagine it's expecting a mouseover, as opposed to just a tap on mobile.

ie:

Makes it very inconvenient trying to get around the site on my phone :(

Not sure if it's an issue with the site or with my actual browser but every time I reload the site I get the below message. Doesn't matter what of the two options I pick the message always reappears every time I refresh. It's super annoying lol. Don't think its the browser though as it never happened until a few days ago and now the message is popping up every time and my browser hasn't had a update in a month or so.

What browser are you using? I don't think it's the site identifying itself as a web app, as the install icon doesn't appear for me on Chrome, like it does on Twitter:
