Will the Unreal Theme be restored soon? The latest color scheme hurts my eyes when i look at it for too long.

I actually love it now. The only two things I don't are:

as said, when you click on a thread title from the forum page (ie. General Discussion), it takes you to the first post even if it's bolded and has unread posts. I believe it used to take you to the latest post you haven't read.

also when you scroll to the bottom to the quick navigation thing, there's no "Go" button like there used to be.

Loving vb4 now though, surprised it only took a couple of hours to get used to it and love it.

Yeah, it's quite easy to get used to. But I still want that feature of taking you to the last post ;)

The feature to rename the spoilers is gone. So if they do anything similar to that below. They will not work.

I would like some theme changes or at least colour changes too, to add to the previous to-do list. Please make the Line where the sig is more noticable, i actually believe now that every time sqrage posts he adds
This is a part of my post, not a signature.
xD . And shift the colours for new threads, light blue and grey are aful when you keep trying to skim through the posts.

Yes, we have said that already in this thread. What we're asking for is for the links inside User CP of subscribed threads to lead us to the first unread post automatically like it used to in vB 3 ;)

Oh now...I finally get what you guys were asking...I thought you guys already knew since it's pretty obvious out there, but no...:p

Not a fan of the theme. The text does not read well with the background (not dark enough). :(

Probably. That's phyrex1an's department, however, so it will be up to him to fix them, most likely.
Oh, I hope it's soon. The WC3 resources posts are pretty FUBAR at present, especially since last I looked
didn't work any more, either. (Although,
this works?
)

And shift the colours for new threads, light blue and grey are aful when you keep trying to skim through the posts.
Agreed. I'm no usability designer so I can't tell why, but the readability of this theme seems worse.

The focus seems off too; I'm staring at the left side of my screen trying to read a thread.
Me too.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
