Vivaldi’s forum has been updated
-
@luetage which issues that couldn't have been introduced by nodeBB are you referring to?
-
yay!!
-
- Some nice new features there that will make my life easier.
- Some new toys to try out
- The post edit history will help us moderators. The way that it is implemented is better than any other I have come across.
-
Just to name a few:
Misaligned login entry
Dropdown menus cut at top and bottom. Might be intentional, doesn't look good though in my personal opinion, especially when they're kept spacious otherwise.
No left margin/padding on notification entries in the dropdown.
Big top margin on user profiles until text starts. Might be intentional too, but questionable for small screens. User avatar still misaligned. It's
left: 50%; margin-left: -64px
But that doesn't take into account the 4px border on each side. -68px is needed to center it, I reported this numerous times. Also the account pictures seem still cut off at top. They're larger really. -
Sooo, blue is the new color now? Red was better, IMHO.
-
@Nekomajin It was black though.
-
It seems the bugs i reported ( CW-806, CW-805, CW-686) are all still broken, as far as my testing find them.
-
Wow! I like. The blue is so cool. The blue is less harsh than the red was.
For some the blue will take a little getting use to.No emojis here.

I prefer the windows Segoe emoji
Now I miss the Segoe UI Emoji too... Not that I have anything against EmojiOne - well, maybe except for the fact that it's not the latest version and it translates the emoji that it does not support at all...
Also, the blue top bar... I hope that it's temporary. Thank goodness we have custom CSS...
But other than that, the update is a great improvement, thank you for that!

I miss red too
-
If having the inline emoji menu scroll with the page while the chat window remains static is not a design choice, then it's bugged.
Also, the peach looks like an ass, but that's not a complaint
-
@LonM thanks for the feedback, will check it out as well and get back to you ASAP.

That avatar pic is also 1px off of the left side of the menu itself
-
The font used in notifications seems to be bold. It looks cramped and is not as easy to read as it might be with a regular font.
-
@Pesala It's always been bold, it just looks bolder now because the padding is missing. But that's not a change that came with this update.

@gaelle said in Vivaldi’s forum has been updated:
You can now see all your uploads by visiting https://forum.vivaldi.net/me/uploads ,
I assume that this is only going to refer to uploads going forwards, I see I only have a single upload listed.
-
@LonM Yes, before uploads did not track which user sent them.
And the "Red plus" when composing has now changed to a comment balloon, and it has a title/tooltip text (my patch ).

I know it has often been stated that vivaldi (the browser) isn't going to be fully open-source. I understand the logic behind this as keping it with a defined vision, not having tons of forks, keeping cohesive, business reasons etc.
But that same logic isn't (in my mind) transitive to
vivaldi.net
(the forum). If the forum itself were open source (as the base nodebb already is) - users could contribute fixes for whatever nagging issues exist, like missing paddings and the like. And you're not going to lose any business with an open-source forum, no-one uses the browser just to accessvivaldi.net
.Case in point: The forum mod, and this:

Just a thought that occurred to me.

Great to see so many positive changes!
I'm so happy to see that what I wished only a month ago became true
Thank you Vivaldi! -
One issue I just found...
I use the forum in a tab stack with tiled tabs. On the smaller tiled tab, I don't have the navigation features anymore which were shown on the side after clicking on the hamburger icon (I can read in dark grey undefined right under the NAVIGATION title - see below) :
In the previous version, I was easily able to navigate through the full menu (Unread, Recent, Users, etc.)
Is this a bug or is it made on purpose?
Thanks in advance.
