I just wanted to say thanks for all the work fixing stuff guys! It's already miles better!
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
You can actually already change that in the preferences page. Under alert preferences, there's an option called "show tags in alerts", which you can disable.Something else I noticed that could use cleaning up is the fact that in any new Alerts a threads tags are included in it. It definitely clutters up the alerts page, if that's removable that'd be great.

You can un-sticky it in user preferences. That way it will just stay at the top of the page, and not follow you as you scroll.The toolbar at the top of the site, is there a way to make it retract when not looking for it?
Is anyone else getting a lot of alerts to normal (non-OP) replies to watched threads? Even ones they hadn't read the latest post on to do so? I wasn't having this happen yesterday, so I don't know why it's started now.
It 100% is, I was playing with that setting earlier as part debugging op email alert issues. Apparently it got re-checked for everyone as I'd explicitly unchecked it a few hours ago, even posted a screenshot of my settings in that thread so I know I'm not mis-remembering.Edit: I'm pretty sure this is caused by the addition of "Generate new alerts without reading thread" option in preferences, which is apparently checked by default. Unmarking that should restore to normal functionality.
It's semi-doable with user CSS, though only if there's info on the thread being Worm-related in the first three tags, or the title of the thread. If the thread has more than three tags, and any indications of worm are not in the three shown on the threads listing page, and the title doesn't show it, this method won't work.Does XF2 have a way to block tags as well as threads and users? It would be really nice if I could ban the Worm tag and then never see another Worm thread ever again.

You might be able to live without one-click functionality for Watched Threads, but I can't. It's the most important (most used) link in the entire menu imo.Topbar looks better now that it's a tight one line.
Thanks!
It would be nice for my personal workflow* to have the Watched Threads as a single-click top bar item, but it's easy enough to just click twice -- once on Forums, once on the exposed Watched Threads button when the main forum view loads -- as long as you don't mind the server loading that extra page every time.
The dropdown isn't great for my fat fingers on mobile, but the two-click workflow* seems pretty reliable.
*) leisure flow? shitpost flow?
Sorry for the noob question but is there a setting that make it so a new chapter alert didn't get automatically read? I usually click alerts so the number didn't get big but I just realize that new chapter alert got read also.

Thx.near as I can tell you need to look throguh all the alerts then manually click the "mark unread" on the ones that interest you
This was fixed. There is now a dropdown for lists again.1. How do I add a formatted list? I do not see an option for that anymore in the rich text editor.
Anyone have more information on the above?2. In the old version, there would be a horizontal bar near the top and bottom of each page. Clicking the hamburger icon (the three horizontal bars) in it would open a site map that let you navigate to completely different sections of QQ quickly. Is there still something like that now? Otherwise, I have needed to go to the front page first to find the link if I needed to go from (say) creative writing to general.
3. Is there a way to automatically expand the sections at the top of the rich text editor as far as they will go? I use spoilers a lot and that button used to be right there in the header bar by default instead of needing to click "More options..." first. Not a huge problem, but adding extra clicks to my normal process can add up.
4. Before, I could post a link to (for instance) Twitter and just have it stay like that. Now it detects and expands to an embedded twitter post automatically, even if I just want the URL. Is there a way to prevent that?
5. Does loading things (especially images) seem slower for anyone? Are there any settings that I need to configure things run lighter?
This is really neat, thanks!It's semi-doable with user CSS, though only if there's info on the thread being Worm-related in the first three tags, or the title of the thread. If the thread has more than three tags, and any indications of worm are not in the three shown on the threads listing page, and the title doesn't show it, this method won't work.
Anyway, create a user CSS using Stylus, and apply the following:
This looks for tags like "worm", "worm au", and "smugbug", as well as "Worm" in the title. Not perfect, but it should catch most of them.CSS:.p-body-pageContent div[data-type="thread"] .structItemContainer-group.js-threadList .structItem--thread:has(.structItem-cell--main .structItem-title a:last-child:where([href*="-worm"], [href*="worm-"])), .p-body-pageContent div[data-type="thread"] .structItemContainer-group.js-threadList .structItem--thread:has(.structItem-cell--main .structItem-minor .structItem-tagBlock .tagItem:is(.tagItem--tag_worm, .tagItem--tag_worm-au, .tagItem--tag_worm-altpower, .tagItem--tag_worm-oc, .tagItem--tag_worm-fic, .tagItem--tag_worm-crossover, .tagItem--tag_taylor-hebert, .tagItem--tag_danny-hebert, .tagItem--tag_greg-veder, .tagItem--tag_smugbug, .tagItem--tag_lisa-wilbourn, .tagItem--tag_amy-dallon)) { display: none; }
You can download the extension from the Firefox addon site or the Chrome store. The pages have links to tutorials and stuff to help explain how to use it.This is really neat, thanks!
Now how do I use Stylus and user CSS? Some cursory googling and searching of my user settings isn't turning up anything immediately.
Seem to still be getting this, even when I've not actually gone on the thread simply 'reading' the alert makes it reset and the next time someone has posted that comes up as the 'new alert'The dividing line for the signatures could do to be a little more distinct, as it is on light it's rather easy to miss.
Of course it's a browser extension, that should have been obvious to me. I thought it might have been a new forum feature or something. Thanks for that too.You can download the extension from the Firefox addon site or the Chrome store. The pages have links to tutorials and stuff to help explain how to use it.
You'll basically just write a style for the site and copy the CSS into the edit window.
If you just click the "Watched" text, it will take you directly to the Watched Threads page.You might be able to live without one-click functionality for Watched Threads, but I can't. It's the most important (most used) link in the entire menu imo.
