Please help us out by testing the new libcom theme

I noticed that when quoting a comment, the quoted content seems to show the raw html.

Can you post a link to an example of this for us to check out?

Also, it seems there is a hyperlink that says "logo" at the bottom of the page. I'm guessing this is either supposed to say "homepage" (since that's where it goes), or the logo next to it is supposed to be clickable, which it's not for me at least.

Yes, this is a bug which is on the list to fix.

Two search buttons also appear for me whenever I search for something.

Thanks for this, where is this? Could you post a screenshot of what you mean using imgur or something?

My only other stylistic suggestion (though others might disagree) would be to remove some of the buttons at the top so that you can get rid of the red divider. It sort of clashes with the black underline when hovering over the buttons. I would probably throw some of the buttons in the Menu thing like you have it now, though maybe keep the Recent Content button on the homepage.

Sorry, what page are you talking about here, which buttons and which dividers/underlines? A screenshot would be helpful.
Many thanks for the feedback!

It also seems to do the same on the current site.

Right okay thanks for clarifying. That is unconnected to the theme and is the same at present. You only see that when making or editing comments. This will change when we are able to install a What You See Is What You Get text editor. This will be coming a bit later.

Thanks for clarifying. This is because the search box is always in the top bar. So if you are on the actual search page, then you will see 2 boxes. But the lower down search box does slightly overlap the results, which is something we will fix.

As I said others might disagree. Definitely liking the new site though.

Thanks for clarifying, that is our main menu, which is the key way for navigating around the site. We are going to tweak this slightly over the next couple of weeks, but the basic functionality of it cannot change (it acts very differently on mobile devices).
But thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated, and very glad you like most of it!

haha thanks! The penguin is this guy

to the same article on the new site:
https://dev-54ta5gq-tqb6dex5mimpg.fr-3.platformsh.site/article/experimental-anarchist-colonies-errico-malatesta

I tested on windows 10 on google chrome

This is a fantastic spot, thank you, we will get that sorted

Method of Freedom wrote: It's not technically bug but I tested searching Malatesta and Anarchism and the results were not ordered from newest to oldest

Yeah that's not related to the theme, that is the site search which is the same as this version. It sorts by relevancy, not date.

Thought so. I'm liking the new look especially bringing back the red look instead of the blue one. I tried cliking on all the stuff on the new page (one article, one donate etc.) and did not find any other bug than the footnote one.

Is the platformsh and fr-3 in the test link clue that it was designed by 3 French Platformist?

Great spot, thanks!

Also I think it would be great if the application automatically adds a header 'Footnotes' if an article includes footnotes.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. That article you linked to doesn't actually have footnotes in, as recognised by the site. The author has just manually typed in footnotes like text. This is an article with formatted footnotes, so this is how they will appear on the site so please let us know what you think about this. Also could you please explain what you mean about text overlap and provide a screenshot?

Thanks for the kind words!

WithDefiance wrote: Hi Steven, thanks for the reply. My mistake then. I think the new team looks really good. It also seems to display well on my phone. Before I looked at my computer. There it showed the following: when hovering over the link of the footnotes the line that shows was going through the top of the text of the next line. I have 1920x1080 resolution on the screen, browser Firefox.

This is great, thanks very much. Taking a more detailed look, this is an issue with all hyperlink underlines in Firefox, so we will get that sorted.

This should now be fixed, could you check again?

Hey BlackFlagSyndey - forums are here https://libcom.org/recent/discussions

You can start a new thread by going to the menu top right and clicking on "Submit new content" and then "Discussion".

I suspect a mod will see your post here though.

it's been a while since we set it up because we launched the new libcom ages ago now (this thread is just about the new theme, which is just cosmetic differences). But I'm pretty sure anyone who registers an account can post content now.
Just click submit content, and it should let you post articles? If not let us know.

Great, thanks. We have changed your permissions so in future anything you post will bypass moderation

When do y'all plan to implement it?

Thanks. We plan to implement it as soon as all of the kinks are ironed out. Hopefully early in the new year
