I have a couple questions, comments and concerns relating to the update. It seems easiest to just put them all in one thread so that's what I'm gonna do.
So, my first question relating to the new update is related to the menus for the Light and Dark themes. I personally would rather use the light theme than the dark theme, but the top menu for the light theme is clunkier than it is on the dark theme. The drop-down menu for forums is always there whereas on the dark theme, it only shows up if I actually click the arrow next to the word “Forums.” Is it possible for the light theme to be more like the dark theme in that respect, where the words “New Posts”, “Find Threads”, “Watched”, etc… only appear when I actually click an arrow next to the word “Forums”?
The second comment is related to hosted project navigation. When I go into the Hosted Project area through “Enter Hosted Projects Here” on the homepage, I get to what I’m used to seeing. I see the options of genre as buttons and when I click the button, I’m taken to a page with all the HP banners. However, when I go into a hosted project and then use the menu (Forums > Hosted Projects > Fandom >) to navigate back to the hosted projects, I am not taken back to the page with all the banners. Instead, I’m taken to a rather boring looking list of all the HPs. Has this been noted by anyone else yet at all and is it fixable so that I get back to the banner page instead?
Thirdly, inside hosted projects, there’s a menu on the left hand side that includes the banner, “Group Statistics” and “Latest Posts.” Before the update, this menu would go away once you actually clicked into a thread. Now, post-update, it does not and that means that when I’m reading all of the posts, they’re squished over to the right hand side of the screen which makes it rather difficult to actually read posts when your computer screen isn’t very big. I haven’t looked at it on mobile yet, but if it isn’t any different, I’m sure it’s an atrocity to try and read HP posts there.
On another HP note, I’ve noticed that some of the people who I had previously approved to join the HP are now required to get approval again. Is there a reason why some approvals were lost in transition? In one HP, there were five members who had previously posted content in the HP who are now once again on the list of people who need approvals.
Out of HPs and into other things… I’m unable to find the option to disable the RTE. I had it disabled pre-update and now it seems to be back. Is the RTE still bad for bbcode? If it is, how do I avoid it now? Disabling it wasn’t an option I could find in preferences anymore. This question has been answered. xD
Edited in: Another question I've just discovered I have relates to copying and pasting from a google doc. Pre-update, I could copy and paste into the RTE and spacing between paragraphs would stay the way I had it in the google doc. (I like one empty linebreak between each paragraph just like in this post.) However, post-update, when I copy and paste into the RTE, it doubles the spacing. When I copy and paste into the bbcode editor, it removes all the spacing. Can this be fixed so at least one of the options does nothing to change the linebreaks from what I initially had them as?
Lastly, I’m just curious about a few features I’d like to see back again and whether or not they’re possibilities now. Is there any chance prefixes returning to HPs will be something that might happen in the near or far future? Also, I’m wondering if the ability to change the order of threads in HPs is something that will ever come back. It was something we could do in HPs before the update where every rp was an HP for a while and then it hasn’t been back since then.
Anyway, I know that’s a lot of questions so I’m gonna be done there. I can send screenshots of things if needed, but I’m not quite sure who will want screenshots of what so I’m gonna wait until asked.
