PCF Style Upgraded - Issues & Fix (8 Viewers)

[Tommy]

Hello PCF'ers

Yesterday, I transitioned to a new customized style that combines a Light theme, Dark theme, and System Default theme into a single style package. This offers significant advantages for updates, upgrades, and custom add-ons, as it necessitates managing only a single set of templates.

The System theme option will adopt the theme settings of your device. For example, if your Windows computer or phone is set to dark mode, PCF will recognize this and automatically apply the Dark theme for you.

The other two theme options are Light and Dark. If you prefer not to have your device dictate the theme settings for you on PCF, you can select either Light or Dark.

Reports indicate that some users are unable to switch between the Dark and Light themes, as the style switcher (now located at the bottom left of the page - for now) is not functioning for them.

If this issue arises, thanks to @triton, it can be resolved by navigating to your account preferences and selecting either the Light or Dark theme.

I haven't experienced these issues with my test account, so I believe they could be related to cookies and being logged in on multiple devices.
Should the problems continue, I am able to execute a database query to transition everyone to the new style ID.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

@Tommy .. I noticed searches seem to be not working or giving very limited results.

Any way to get post reply button etc to return to orange like it was before instead of grey now?
Or unread to be light grey while read is darker which is opposite of how it was before?
I tried changing to dark mode instead of system.
I'm not sure how or what it reads from my phone to choose color scheme.

Of course, orange is the best!

I got that all fixed up for you.

Dark theme always, for all things

 

[Tommy]

The full search functionality will be back after the current search index rebuild is finished. A couple of new search feature will be available. Damn its 3.30am already!

 

[Tommy]

The full search functionally is back with some enhancements. If you have any issues, please let me know.

Thank you for shutting down the search and giving me a few hours of rest.

I have always had better results using Google with "siteokerchipforum.com" as a search term.

Now I can get back to researching hot dog rollers!

When did searching PMs change to go through the global search thing with the "Everywhere" vs "Direct Messages"? Will that be reverting?

If you're referring to this, it's part of the software update. It has been like this for some time now.

Even if they didnt revert back to original, atleast a posts only option would be handy. I mean they have it for DM only so why not the other way around?

Quick menu option would be nice. You can do it in the advanced search though. Just don't check search titles.

 

[Tommy]

You receive additional search options in the quick menus depending on the page you're viewing, such as thread list view or a thread view. If you leave Search titles only uncheck, it searches the posted message content.

Twice in the last two weeks, I've used "mail showcase" in a title search to post about incoming chip shipments and twice, I've posted the pics in a direct message with the same title.

I searched "mail showcase" and found this in the top results.

I am dumb in multiple ways.

 

[Tommy]

Nah, it's just called getting old.
