westernwill Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Could not see a topic about possible requests for changes or improvements to the new forum. So have started this. My problem is that the font of the content, .e this paragraph, is very faint and with my poor eyesight I cannot read it unless I expand it quite a lot. The old forum font was fine. Would it be possible to make the font darker so that it is easier to read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 We will pass this to Hornby. There have been other requests for improvement for visually impaired members. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog RJ Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Darker text would definitely help, maybe a larger size too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 If they do consider improvements for accessibility, then adding a function for image description might be worthwhile. I suspect not many would remember to use it but I know it helps those who are partially sighted and use text readers. There may be an assumption that such folk wouldn’t visit this site, but I think that would be presumptuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Good point. Added to the list. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The font seems about right to me but yes I'm sure it may be a bit small/thin for some folk. Need to be careful not to start making everything bold though otherwise you lose its usefulness as a means of emphasis. The browser should allow you to change the font size of the page as a whole. Maybe increase the default size to 16 or 18 like this (seems to be 14 at the moment). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The editor is versatile and even lets you see what it would look like on desktop, tablet or phone by clicking the 'look at page' icon (far right). The only addition to font would be type which could create all sorts of odd effects, so simply adjust size and emboldment, justification, tabulation,, etc as required within this box before posting. If it looks good then go for it. In addition you can insert hyperlinks, quotes, code or emojis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Another change request - All Topics / Specific Topic view discrepancy. When viewing a Specific Topic, the list shows each thread’s latest poster’s avatar (on the right) along with time since latest post. However when viewing All Topics, the list shows each thread’s creator’s avatar (on the left) & the time since last post is very faintly shown underneath. It would be much clearer (and therefore appreciated) if the All Topics view could match the Specific Topic one.

LTSR_NSE Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Could the strikethrough text button be reinstated / included in the new forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Don't you see it LTSR at the top of the reply box? R- Edited February 27 by RB51 Test strikethrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Nope not on iOS. Is it still available on PC then? 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Certainly on W11 machine, and this from iPad. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Very odd - on iPhone 7 (both Safari & Chrome) show just this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge1965 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Also on IOS i don't think you can change font size and colour and align left/right/centre , like you can in windows/PC? Edited February 27 by Dodge1965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I think strikethrough is useful but might be device specific. I’ll pass it to Hornby for a chat with developers. R- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 IOS on iPad - default red and bigger bold and centred strike thru' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Normal iPhone 7 text (red and bigger) text written after copying from 96Raf’s post (strike thru') hmmm… so apparently my phone can use these fancy font features… (bold and centred) it just can’t initiate them - how bizarre!

96RAF Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I wonder if its a mods vs gen-pop setting. It shouldn't but it may just be a tick box thing. As Rog says it will be passed up the line for fettling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There do seem to be two versions of the site, one for mobiles other for desktop, which is quite normal. Functionality does start to change and get confusing if you regularly go from one to the other! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge1965 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) If you choose the option to "ignore a user" , why do you still see their new posts, in the unread section. Yes i know their comments to other posts are hidden and u can choose to see these or not. But surely the whole idea is to "ignore" them and not see anything from them??
