      @chrcoluk I set skin to default, using dark reader and then a couple of tweaks with stylebot

        It’s the Netgate hardware forum that’s not visible but the empty spot is clickable.

        It's white on white in the Unread list:
        <a href="/category/64/official-netgate-hardware" class="badge px-1 text-truncate text-decoration-none border" style="color: #FFFFFF;background-color: #ffffff;border-color: #ffffff!important; max-width: 70vw;">

        Official Netgate® Hardware
        </a>

        Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

          @SteveITS yeah I change the stupid white on white with this in stylebot

          a.badge.px-1.text-truncate.text-decoration-none.border {
            border-style: none;
            font-weight: 400;
            font-style: normal;
            background-color: #181A1B;
            text-decoration: none;
            border-color: #181A1B;
          }
          

          Here are all the stylebot changes I have

          li.category-item.hover-parent.py-2.mb-2.d-flex.flex-column.flex-lg-row.align-items-start {
            padding-bottom: 0px;
            padding-top: 1px;
            margin-bottom: 5px;
          }
          
          a.text-reset {
            font-weight: 500;
            font-style: normal;
            font-size: 18px;
            line-height: 20px;
            
          }
          
          a.badge.px-1.text-truncate.text-decoration-none.border {
            border-style: none;
            font-weight: 400;
            font-style: normal;
            background-color: #181A1B;
            text-decoration: none;
            border-color: #181A1B;
          }
          

          I could export the json from dark reader if you need/want it?

          This is what mine currently looks like

            Hi,

            just a (maybe stupid) question: Is it not easier to contact the sysadmin of the forum and ask to change the underlying software in a way that makes it more readable/usable instead of using lot of self developed solutions? IMHO

            Regards,

              Yeah we are still looking at what we can do here. It looks like the theme we use doesn't play nicely with the skins in this version.

                @stephenw10 One thing I have noticed on iOS Safari and just put together…if I reply to a message it looks fine. When I tap into the text field to type it zooms in enough to hide the > icon. Let’s see if this makes it:

                c1e202b8-de5f-416b-9b6c-1609936a78e7-image.png

                …so I have to zoom out or scroll right to submit.

                  Also "Off-Topic & Non-Support Discussion" I see.

                  BTW re: my iOS Safari comment, that might be an iOS thing? I think I've seen it on other web sites occasionally. It's oddly annoying but easily fixable by pinching or swiping left to "scroll" right.

                    Looks like some update added previews of the images posted in the thread into the end of the subject line...
                    Not a fan of that, makes the forum look very cluttered.

                                @mvikman yeah those work great from what looks like to me

                                before/after

                                better.jpg

                                If you add new features like that - it should be able to be turned off.. This isn't /funny in reddit where people just post memes and videos, etc..

                                  Yup you would think there would be some obvious setting 'image previews' or similar but..... I'm finding nothing!

                                  It looks like it's using the first available image as a topic thumbnail but there no setting for that 🤔

                                    Looks like it's this but I'd still expect to be able to disable it completely:

                                      @stephenw10 completely agree - the user should have a way to disable this. And if they wanted to get fancy, have the ability to turn that off per category/section, etc.

                                      Depending on the forum - maybe there is a meme type section where users just post images where that might make sense - where you might be able to tell from a little icon of the image if you have seen that one already, etc.

                                      While I am all for images in posts - they are required to be honest to see what the user is seeing, etc..

                                      But to be honest - these are pretty useless for anything other than distraction.. You sure can not glean any info off such a small image to what the user is wanting to show, like their firewall rules or settings in a gui page.

                                      I am a big poster of images to be honest, it's the easiest way to show the user where a setting is, or a basic network drawing on how to connect stuff, etc. But not really a fan of this implementation.. Glad @mvikman was nice enough to post some filters, so I didn't have to dig that deep..
