truncated IPv6 addresses

The GUI expands IPv6 ? I don't see that happing :

that won't break with updates?

Make your own theme ?
It's just plain CSS and maybe some html.

Compare this list :

with what you find in this folder : /usr/local/www/css/ and you' re half way ;)
Don't edit files, add your own. It's lost during upgrade ? No issue, just put it back in.

I think your v6 IPs happen to have a lot of 0s so they end up taking less space. They are truncated in my installs.

Hi Stephen!

Yep, you are both right, IPv6 IPs with a lot of 0s can be written in a shorter way so they end up taking less space...

The ones I put as a test do have a lot of 0s but I wrote them in their entirety, this might or might not change in the future...

I have a lot of catch up to to regarding IPv6 and how similar and different it is from IPv4.

Thank you and have a nice day!

But his do as well, not sure why these are expanded out..

Those should just be ::, also in his other post 0001 is expanded out??

That seems odd as well.. See in first post where its 0003, that shouldn't be like that either.. See mine where I have a 3 in my address, but its just shown as 3, not 0003, and see were address ends in a single digit 2, its not 0002

edit: Ah if he wrote them like that?? Maybe that is why their fully expanded.

edit2: You could also just get a wider screen or run higher res, I have 4 columns in my dashboard and pretty happy with the layout and overlap of stuff.. There is some minor stuff - but all readable.. If I set it 3 columns there is none.. But then again I don't fully expand my IPv6 ;)

Mmm, I was thinking there may have been some other collapsed section under the redaction but, I agree, that doesn't explain :0003: vs :3:

I just added leading zeros to one of the interfaces and the interface now shows as:-

So the widget isn't stripping them, however an ifconfig on the interface doesn't show the leading zeros.

I typed them like that...

I do know that you can strip "0" from them but I have never played with IPv6 before so I preferred not to use the shorthand notation until I was more comfortable with the thing...

I did not realize until someone else posted a few posts ago that the screen assumed the IPv6 addresses were written using the shorthand notation and that my choice of writing them in their entirety was to blame...

Sorry...

PS: HD screen here, 1920 x 1080...

[stephenw10]

There is no blame here. It's just an artifact if how it's coded. It could probably be better but since most users are unaffected it's pretty low priority,

@knight yeah no blame anywhere.. But you could get one of those new ultra wide monitors ;)

I see a 49" wide that does 5120 x 1440 resolution.. heheh I am just having a bit of fun, not actually suggesting that as a fix, but it would solve the problem hehehhe

Its only $1,138.38 on amazon right now ;)
