Don’t look at how long I’ve been here or my post count, but what are breadcrumbs?

The flyover when mouse is over title and first post last post pops up doesn't seem to work well. Seems like it shows ...... a lot. No big deal, just reporting ? bugs.

Each Member can select the style they prefer, but only after I reset the default style. For now, the new style overrides individual member settings.

To change the style:
1. Click the down arrow next to your name.
2. Select User Control Panel.
3 From the tabs across the top, select Board Preferences;
4. From the My board style, select SE Gamer: Light.

Another thing..... the text for the user profile link is invisible against that background (see attachment).

Breadcrumbs are disabled in SE Gamer template. Not sure if the developer did that on purpose or not but edit template: SE_Gamer/template/overall_header.html
On line 106 delete <!--
On lne 110 delete -->
Breadcrumbs will appear and show the way home.
Never mind all that. I installed a fresh/clean copy of 3.2 and clean copy of SE Gamer and breadcrumbs are as they should be even with those lines commended out.

That's because the style is using the user name colors from the board. So Administrators will see their names in dark red, moderators will see theirs in blue or green. Everyone else is black unless you hover over the name then it turns orange.

Mark Forums as Read doesn't stick. Every time I come back, all the titles are glaring red, and I have to reset them.

This has been an issue for me for quite a while. I have to click that link, wait for the pop-up to close, click it again, & wait for that pup-up to clear. Only then will all the threads show clear.

It seemed to be working for me, so I tested it by marking all forums read, logging out, then logging back in. All thread titles were black.

When logging in on IPad I get website not secure. Is this something to be concerned with?

I don't know why you are getting that warning. The new SSL has been in place for several days.

Just a note:
I only use this forum on iPhone. When i used to turn my phone sideways, the words would be bigger and easier to read. This is not the case now, the letters are the same size.

Thanks Charles, I’m not tech savvy so maybe something on my end. I’m not sure what to do to fix it.
I’ll report back if it stops.
