Just wanted to say thanks for reconsidering the thread name font — it's much less fatiguing on the eyes as it is now. Keep up the good work!

Indeed its much better now .

We just now need to get rid of the silly title above each post !

MX are pretty dust proof , alps less so but if there is a high level of dust on the plate chances are your stripping the alps switches anyway to clean them inside. Space invaders for the first attack i would honestly leave the caps on and use the super thin attachment on the datavac.

I know people may be a bit worried about blowing dust into the switches but a good tool is a datavac https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metro-220-240-DataVac-Electric-Duster/dp/B003BZCOKK it is very powerfull and will get all the dust form the plate very quickly ( even without removing the caps !) So its good...

Do people use mobile/ tablet for anything other than reading ebooks and checking twitter whist your having a number 2 ? ( i like to only check twitter whist having a crap , then i know its crap in one end crap out the other :lol: ) I was under the impression that all that mobile web browsing and "ap...

The highlighted topics section is pretty cool.

I would leave it at the top where its noticeable.

I put in quite thin soft foam but several layers of it , use the case fixings themselves to slightly compress the foam So your making a sandwich between the PCB and case. This helps quite a bit ! The foam stops the echo inside the case and the fact the foam is pushing on the case reduces movement , ...

let me explain what is happening. to move quickly and avoid issues I've used the default phpbb theme and simply reskinned it. There's just so much customization that you can do this way, but you are 100% sure that everything is going to work. That said... I'm still not 100% sure we should keep usin...

USB2 gives you only 2.5 W. That would not be enough for LCDs.
They would be limited to USB3 with Power Delivery.

Normal LCDs yes, not sharp memory LCDs , they as little as 6 µW to show a static image and use about 50µW when updating an image.

Its an interesting idea.

But would they not be better with sharp memory LCDs ? The contrast will be way better.

Welcome back!!

Quick question (with maybe a long answer): why is gzip off?

gzip is slow compression, should be using LZ4

I want to disable them already... It was an option to , i had them disabled on the old site. Can we also have the quote post option strip nested quotes ? Further to that , i think some of the issues i have with the new layout are shading and wasted white space ( modern websites love to waste space ...

Yeah I mentioned that earlier in this thread. Fortunately, the title does not propagate to subsequent posts. But it does dirty the Spy, and the repetitive titles in each thread are entirely unnecessary anyway. I look forward to their murder! Edit: ooh! Looks like they’re already ignored for the Spy...

I can replicate but error log is completely empty, so I'm not really sure what is causing this. It will be hard to fix without an error trace.

I would just disable that form the list then , more concerned people getting locked into it and not being able to access the wiki

Few minor wiki errors.

If you select the Modern theme then you get an internal error.
The icon is messed up on the mono book theme ( i much prefer this theme as the info is more compact.)

yeah I noticed that, unfortunately phpbb works with "post subjects" and not "topic titles", we were using an extension that took care of zeroing the post subjects and always use the topic title instead. I agree that limiting extensions is something we want to do ( and something you want to do for a...

It’s the big year now, my English friend. Don’t be too sure your Scots pals will join you off the cliff in March! You don't have much of a choice I am afraid. But its ok, we fought side by side to to defeat the last tyrannical state that tired to rule all of Europe, we can do it again. Anyway lets ...

I’d like my wee saltire back, too, when possible. Seeing all that user metadata cruft on everyone’s posts reminded me to check my user page.

As long as i can get my local county council flag too!

I got mine!, for my shame i sent my one out super late , sorry to <name redacted> you will get it soon. Been stuck in the house all holiday season and i think it got me down a bit so never went out to send , but its on its way now. Hope it gets to you soon.

I didn't want to be too negative about the logo, we'll get used to the new one and over the years logos change. https://deskthority.net/download/file.php?id=51024 Minor change to the logo but i think it improves it . Another Issue is that on the main page the latest post shows the subject not the m...

dt_mockup.png I did a quick mock-up of how the new theme can work with the old layout. Also WOW the upload is WAYYYYYYYY faster. I don't think we need a Subject for each post , the title of the thread is enough. New logo is ok IMO but i don't like the cut of T That can be our header logo with our n...

Any chance we can get the old theme back ? Or is that dead ?

EDIT. Or at least the ability to move the posters info back to the left. Amazing work by the way , i like the way the new header works .

Please no. Don't have it scale when you zoom.

Prefer it how it is now where its locked to the correct size

I have one but it feel off the shelf and cracked the case so done nothing with it.

I should see what i can do about a case for it.

OK so there is no service on the device at all, is your sim card working ? Do you have another phone to test it in ? Sometimes a sim can work in an older phone but not in a new phone or can partly work. Not sure how it is in consumer space but when i used to services phones for a large company we co...

Well imagine my shock!

Can you describe in detail where you are getting to on the step up ? Can you take a photo.

Is it not just much simpler to buy a phone from a company that does not screw you , then you dont have to miss out on new features and security and have full use of the phone that is your property ? I mean i 100% agree that any phone should be locked down by default for the normies, but you should h...

once you have had tab on a numberpad you never go back !

Only on iOS 9.0.2 or lower. Take it to apple i am sure they will be more than willing to help you.........right ? Chances are they will tell you to fuck off and buy a new one but you never know, its worth a try.

Not much else you can do i am afraid

Why would you give up a split + on a num pad ? Its the best feature of the terminal versions!!
