Re:


Well just because the software isnt supported doesnt mean people arent using it,important to remember that....
Did somebody forget that?

The point is that if Microsoft won't support IE 8 on any active operating systems, that seems like a good point to cut things.

I saw a post somewhere (maybe ...

Re: Which IE versions should we kill?


Well, Microsoft is going to kill Internet Explorer itself, but only in Windows 10.

Where has that been announced? I've read that IE has been kept in Windows 10 for enterprise compatibility. I have not heard that Edge will get those features.

Also, as a reminder, in January 2016, Microsoft will ...

Re: [Define New Theme] 8. Utilize Font Awesome icons where icons are needed to simplify server requests.


Required viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xXBYcWgCHA

To summarize and save you 20+ minutes, icon fonts are bad for several reasons:


Some browsers don't support them (like Opera Mini)
Some browsers/operating systems without the font map icons to different things (Etsy had a half ...

The pending approval indicator could use some improvement as it's not really clear if it's part of the topic title or an icon. Before it was in a triangle so it was more distinct. The reported post indicator is just an exclamation mark but it is also red so it's a little more distinct.

I agree ...

Re: CMS auth


a little thing that *beep* me off was you guys said no to "topic time" for listing posts (so they can see topics as posted without the bounced replies - kunena has it as a default option but thats getting beyond the request for CMS auth plugins
Yes that is out of scope in this topic but I'm ...

I still owe posting my changes, but they were for phpBB 3.0.x (probably x=9).

Re: [Define New Theme] 8. Utilize Font Awesome icons where icons are needed to simplify server requests.


I'm actually seeing the same missing icons problem on my work machine (IE11) but I think it's some policy they've implemented here on the browser. The site looks fine on Chrome on the same machine and looks fine in IE11 on other non-work machines, although it looks fine in Edge on my work laptop ...

Re: [Define New Theme] 8. Utilize Font Awesome icons where icons are needed to simplify server requests.


Viewing the topic list on my iPad in portrait mode and with unread replies causes the new replies icon to be on one line and the topic title to be on another. Not sure if that's a result of this ticket or another or if it's already been fixed but looks pretty bad.

I get that same behavior on my ...

Re: [Define New Theme] 8. Utilize Font Awesome icons where icons are needed to simplify server requests.


Pony, are you using an adblocker? Some of the more overzealous ones block icon fonts (have I mentioned yet that they suck?)

Not on this PC. I used to have problems with graphics showing up on phpBB.com (like avatars), but that problem went away a while ago. The proxy here does block some domains ...

Re: [Define New Theme] 8. Utilize Font Awesome icons where icons are needed to simplify server requests.

I'm still seeing this problem on my work system using IE 10. Are the icons being delivered through a CDN or something?
