Difficult to move posts now, on mobile.

Bugs
16 3 5.3k 1
  • I’m curious if this is just on my mobile, or if this is replicated on iphone?
    I have posted previously about difficulties doing Admin tasks on mobile, and accept that more complicated tasks may not be achieveable.
    However since upgrading to v3.x, some simpler tasks have become difficult.
    An example is moving a topic from one category to another.
    On mobile, in mobile or desktop view, a popup window obscures clicking the category to move to.
    Here is example, clicking Move seems to do nothing!
    The box asking ‘to which category’ has opened but is completely obscured behind this menu!

    @Panda nope. You’re not imagining it. I too have seen this and it’s pretty annoying. Looking in more detail, it should be easily fixed with a simple z-index CSS value.

    I’ll have a look at this later.

    How do you achieve that? And can you click through transparent areas?

    @Panda you can provided the index order places that specific element on the top.

    @Panda why would you want it transparent ? It’s probably like this for us because we have heavily customized themes.

    @phenomlab if I was understanding correctly, by making that pop-up transparent I can click through an area of it and get to the move post box that is currently hidden?

    @Panda Also happy to do it the way you suggest, making the back box z-index higher.
    What would I type to do that?

    @Panda no, you wouldn’t be able to. The issue is z-index which is the stacking order of elements. The higher the value the higher the reference.

    For example, -1 means place under everything else. By default, the index figure is 1, so you’d need a much higher value to ensure it was always positioned over other elements.

    I’ll provide some custom CSS for this once I’m in front of a pc.

    Yep I have the same no transparency menu at first :

    It’s just the popoup after select move topics who is transparent :

    12fb3015-a1a2-491a-9b78-56f641a4491f-image.png

    I have customcss code, maybe on your site this is not transparent.

    I solved the problem with this code (to be adapted to your environment) :

    /* BUGFIX: Popup topic tool transparency */
    .card {
      --bs-card-cap-bg: var(--bs-node-card-cap-bg);
      background-color: var(--bs-node-card-cap-bg);
    }
    

    RESULT :

    Arf I just realized that we don’t have the same problem at all 😆
    In fact you don’t see the popup name “Move Topics” at all whereas I see it transparent

    The z-index solution suggested by Mark is indeed the correct solution I think

    Maybe this :

    .tool-modal {
        z-index: 1055;
    }

    @DownPW Yes, it is. It’s set far too low meaning other elements with a higher preference will sit over the top of it.

    @Panda yes, for some reason, that is the case. If you need an urgent response, it’s probably better to post here because of the time difference.

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base. Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information. Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.

    And now, after all this time I finally discovered that the CSS I previously referenced was for something else - and used the same CSS name, so I’ve had to reinstate this block .tab-content { max-height: 0; padding: 0 2em; color: #898989; background: #eeeeee; transition: all 0.35s; margin-top: -5px; } And, add this below to make it more specific. .emoji-tabs .tab-content { height: 100%; max-height: 100%; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
