Quark 1.5.22.0

[Code Monkey]

Is there an update coming for 1.2.4 and the RM?

 

[Dad.]

Yep, right away, but we've added dozens and dozens of new features so we need another few days.

In case anyone else encounters the same issue, I had a terrible time with the Quark included Exo font and Chrome. I changed to Exo 2 and it renders fine.

Yes we are going to be changing the font in the next release, sadly Chrome just can't render fonts :/

So what's going on with this? We are weeks past the XF update now. I understand you are doing many updates but keeping up with XF releases is important.

Are you planing on giving us a list of the updates you mentioned? I hope you are fixing how ugly an odd number of nodes looks on forum home. The odd node out should just look like a more horizontal version of the others not the way it looks now.

I mentioned in the UI.X thread that there were no significant template edits, so the 1.2.3 version works perfectly fine.

And yes, the RSS icon positioning is fixed if thats what you are talking about, for the odd node.

I guess I should subscribe to that styles updates then.

No I mean when you have a odd number of nodes in a category on forum home the bottom node is stretched out across the width of the two above and is only half the height. It just looks ugly. Especially since the lower part is now on the right. It would be better if it was the same height and still had the latest post stuff underneath. Symmetry is important to the eye.

What about an option to fill the odd space with a overall stats panel, staff online panel, ad panel or lots of other possibilities to fill the space so that the odd end forum is the same size as the others.

I'm sire there are lot's of things that could go there.

Im not sure, but this looks custom to me. Is Quark doing this by default?

So show the stats panel every odd category? I don't think that'd work very well. For any bit of information.

That has gotta be custom CSS. You did all nodes/forums with certain CSS causing that.

Here is the default look:

Thanks @Sheldon. Would you like a setting to toggle last odd node showing full width or half like the rest?

No you misunderstand. If you have an odd number of categories, instead of stretching the last one across the entire width, display it as normal just as if there was another category next to it, but display a stats panel there.

That's what he means. Instead of "The Great Debates" stretched across the entire width, have it display just like the 2 above it and place something else beside it to fill out the full width.

 

[Code Monkey]

I understand what the default looks like. It's ugly and messes up the whole look.

 

[Sheldon]

With some simple CSS edits, you can get this look:


I think that is what you are asking about....

 

[Code Monkey]

Yes that is much better. How are you getting the RSS to show? I don't see those on mine even though it is on.

I'd say you edited the CSS to it somewhere. It always appears, just depends on where the numbers line it up. (If you have it on obviously). Also, if you have images, sometimes hard to see because you usually have to hover over them to make them appear. Changing the opacity would fix it, or going with a different icon for it.

 

[Code Monkey]

What was the css fix you used on the node?

and @Audentio that should be default. Looks much better. And even more so if you are putting images in.

 

[Sheldon]

Do you want it for all nodes that are last, or just a specific one?

 

[Code Monkey]

All would probably be best since it's the same in every category.
