I've noticed something in the past week or two that I just figured out and thought I should share. A few days ago when I got online I saw that quite a few of the buttons were gone from my usual forum experience. I couldn't readily access my account (I had to run a search for my previous posts to be able to access my user name at all), and I didn't see a button for checking my messages etc. I figured the board had undergone some recent updates and I would just need to get my elbows dirty to find out the solution to my problem.
After a day of not finding the buttons anywhere, I came here to look at the past couple of pages to see if there was a thread about my problem already. I couldn't find one and resolved to make my own. Unfortunately, when I went to make a new post I found that I couldn't find that button either. Crap. By chance, I noticed some white text that was all but swallowed by the light blue background of the forum, and once I highlighted it I found out that all of my missing buttons were actually just really hard to see.
Does this mean that there's a problem with my own settings and I ought to reconfigure my appearance settings, or is this a more or less universal problem that I've uncovered? Any help would be great, thanks!

I've noticed this too. I just now found the "messages" button, hidden underneath the profile tab at the top. Is APK under construction, or is this how it's supposed to be, because I think it should be made easier to find the navigation buttons. As I said, it took me about a week to find where it went.

The buttons are visible on my other computer, but it's a tremendous eyestrain attempting to find them on this one without highlighting them.

This should fix the problem. Actually, the buttons out to the upper right are styled according to the "mirrortab" class, which can be found at line 427 in the same file. Change that style in the same manner and everything (that I know of) will be fixed. |

So, will we need to wait until someone fixes this? I'm pretty sure I don't have the power to do it myself.  Yeah, you will need to wait for an administrator. |
