@phenomlab then here it is

Page control arrows for PWA

hi @phenomlab , when the forum is used as PWA, there is no easy way to navigate between pages… Several days ago, I was reading a post on a forum that ...(more)

composer previews have problems… when I show the preview, it becomes transparent.

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Can you reload your browser and try again?

[crazycells]

@phenomlab yeap, it is fixed… somehow I was on the wrong theme… what is the theme that was loaded first? cache issue?

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Yes - sorry. It’s because I’ve been changing the theme names so the old ones aren’t officially supported (as such - they have been renamed). If you are using light mode on your OS, then you’ll get the light theme (which you clearly have). Reloading forces the JS to reevaluate and select the right theme.

Should have made an announcement about this. Sorry.

@phenomlab no problem at all next time before reporting, I will refresh the page…

[crazycells]

@phenomlab There is one thing I have to mention, yesterday I was checking sudonix as PWA (but my comment can be thought as related to general mobile design) and I realized that there is no easy way to go to /categories page… It is indirect through the category panel…

If someone is accessing your website first time, I believe that is the page they would want to see to understand the general theme/aim of the forum… This is usually done either clicking the title or clicking the home icon…

But for this website, they both direct you to the /recent page… I knew how to reach there since I use NodeBB daily but if I was outside user, I would struggle little bit

Of course, if everything is intentional, then there is no problem… I just wanted to bring this to your attention…

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Good points. Thanks. I will review this.

[phenomlab]

@crazycells hmm. Just looking at this and I do see what you mean but if you tap the category icon it should auto expand with the first option in the list being “All Categories” which will take you to /categories.

In addition, it’s possible to change the default home page in your profile settings.

[crazycells]

@phenomlab yes I know, but that is “two clicks”… nowadays “two” is too much to get the main page

it is ok for me, I know how to navigate, but I was talking from a new user’s perspective (even unregistered one)… no need for any change if it is OK for you

[phenomlab]

@crazycells yep. I get it! Good point.

Hi @phenomlab , upvote icon is better as a triangle, however I would love to see my upvoted posts more clearly, because currently, when I upvote, nothing on the post tool is changing, it would be nicer if there is an indication that I have upvoted (like a filled or colored triangle?) .

[phenomlab]

@crazycells hmm. Nice idea, but not that easy to implement unless there’s a hook that fires (not sure there is). Could be done with JS but that could be too the detriment of page loads and ajax calls.

[crazycells]

@phenomlab I think in this case a custom CSS code suffice…

we were using something like this:

.topic [component="post/upvote"].upvoted {
    color: #085EAC;
}
 
.topic [component="post/upvote"].upvoted {
  border: 0px !important;
}
 
.topic [component="post/downvote"].downvoted {
        color: #EF4042;
}
 
.topic [component="post/downvote"].downvoted {
  border: 0px !important;
}
 

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Good points, thanks. I completely forgot that classes are added - makes life much simpler!

EDIT - seems this is pretty straightforward, and only needs the below CSS

.upvoted i {
    color: var(--bs-user-level) !important;
}

This then yields

However, the caveat here is that the .upvoted class will only show for your upvotes, and nobody else’s. However, this does satisfy the original request
