New M4C Format... Issues & Bugs Log

To throw a tag-along, it seems like there hasn’t been a “final” decision on handling subforums. The general firearms area, for example, has both the big buttons and the old forum-style subforum navigation below it, then a list of all posts.

Perhaps just leaving the subcategories dropdown in place for filtering would be beneficial?

to add, eliminating the clickable subforum buttons/folders and leaving just the dropdown filter would clean things up a ton in places like the marketplace. There are so many subforum options there that it’s a mess

That is one of the Forums I am working behind the scenes to clean up.
Hope to have it organized & making sense soon

Yup. There’s three separate menus for the same list of subcategories on the same page. Seems like a lot of redundancy and screen clutter. Anyway… the dropdown list is what I use on desktop and mobile. Simple and quick with no need for scrolling.

it looks like the text wrapping thing got fixed on my phone

Light / dark mode doesn’t work for me using Chrome on desktop. The only thing that changes is a couple blue lines and blue dot over Message icon.

Noted. I will pass that along.

It doesn’t work for me on iPhone. Besides that, do I need to change the interface settings?

I just checked on my iPhone and it worked.
UNK if there are interface settings you need to change. I will send it up the flagpole and ask the ?

Light/dark button doesn’t appear to change much, if anything for me.

Light / dark doesn’t work iPhone14 iOS 17.7

Light / dark doesn’t work with Windows desktop Edge. Same blue on a couple lines and Message icon, that’s it.

iPhone14 latest iOS/Safari = Fail
Mac / Chrome older version = Fail
Windows / Edge latest version = Fail

Since I had to log in to use M4C on my Windows machine it doesn’t appear that logging off and back in is required to for the update. I looked at the FAQ section for this new update = Fail. Curious what special dance might be required?

ps The light/dark color scheme on the old M4C was easy on the eyes.

Thanks for that, @ChattanoogaPhil! Check it out now.

Check at M4CARBINE.net - M4Carbine is a trusted, safe community for firearms owners and advocates of U.S. Constitutional values, offering tactical expertise and a space to connect with like-minded Americans.. There is a checkbox there that says “make this theme the default on all of my devices”–you didn’t click it. I impersonated your account and was quite confused that it wasn’t working! Then I clicked that box (which has now gone away, so I can’t get a screenshot of it.

My guess is that you set it on your phone and then looked on your desktop, or something like that.

You can still select WCAG light and dark in your settings and see if you like those better (and keep an eye out for that checkbox). BUT there were some overrides in the main site theme that I think were mucking with colors that peoplle were complaining about (like quotes being invisible). I’ve reverted to the most basic set of colors to see that things are legible and we can work.

Going forward, I’ll look at the other stuff in that original theme and see what in there we want to add back.

Maybe you need to reload? When I impersonate you, I get these:

Y’all may have noticed the annoying “Periodic Table” display is gone!

Thanks. It worked after I rebooted the phone.

Still have this occasionally:

, where it places a blinking cursor somewhere randomly on the screen instead of where the typing is. Not a huge deal for typing, until I notice a typo and try to go fix it.
