Jan 19, 2016Hi all,
We will be using this thread to post subtle new updates as we perfect 2.0. New mods or big news will still get their own thread.
This OP will be updated as well so bookmark this post with the new bookmark feature to be alerted when it's edited.

Koolo had the Giphy mod customized, so it is now inline with the reply box rather than a popup.

A few updates to make smilies easier to use:
- Smaller smilies in the smilie picker so you can see more at once (looks much cleaner too). The smilie will still appear at its normal size when posted.
- On mobile, the smilie picker box is larger, and scrolls much more smoothly (in most mobile browsers). Thanks @able for the idea.
- I think that's it, as you can see I'm reaching for updates..currently working on organizing the emojis and making them higher quality.

Today's update is the dropdown avatar changer, similar to the one in the Portal. Thank you to @Immy, @FullSpeed, @able, and @Slyk who had suggestions about this. Hover over your user name up top, then hover over your avatar to access a quick link to update it.

2 updates today:
- The style toggle in the top left will now stay on the same page when you switch between day/night, rather than redirect you to the forum home page
- When viewing a forum/thread in "best posts" view, clicking the heart to like a post will now update the number of likes
Also it is confirmed that the sports forum users are the stingiest users when giving out likes

In a continuing effort to simplify things, when you hover over your username in the account dropdown menu, you can click the pencil to be brought to the "Change Username" page.

heard the complaints loud & clear -- darkened the font on the Day theme. may re-visit this again tomorrow with fresh eyes, but landed on #333333 tonight. may waver to #444444 if i feel it jumps too much now.
also slightly darkened the sxn headers on home & forum views. had to find a happy medium between what worked on apple devices vs others.

Users who liked a profile post or profile post comment should now appear, when on someone's profile page.*
-Loyalty
- *Profile posts within popup windows (ex: from the recent profile posts sidebar) do not have this effect, it didn't fit well. You can still click the number to view the likes.

1/19/16
When viewing threads on desktop, the "likes" number should now show who liked the post on hover for all posts with > 0 likes when the page is loaded.
- It doesn't yet live update like the number does, when you like a post.
- This only works on thread posts at the moment, not profile posts or profile post comments. (Coming soon!)
Please tag me with any bugs you find.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, been a bit busy at work and Slyk has been vacationing in Hawaii.

and yeah, that was me who mentioned the dropdown menu problem on smaller resolution smartphones. The width is not too much of a problem, but since all of us are perfectionists, I thought I'd mention it.
Two more things which are important when you visit SXN80 as a guest:
The 'Log In or Sign up' box interferes with with the buttons when you're not viewing SXN80 in fullscreen mode.
What 6OD mentioned (removing a few of those buttons up there for guests even tho he had a different reason for that suggestion) seems like a good solution. Keeping the Portal and the search button are important as f--- in my opinion tho.
In all sections (while viewing as a guest), the avys interfere with the text. The reserved place where the unread dot usually is might not be necessary at all for guests.

A solution would be to replace 'People I Ignore' with 'Avy'. Long-term wise, people will rather change their avy than see who they ignore.Slyk, Loyalty and sxneighty123 like this. -
