Hi Fred,
The logo at the top on a mobile device still shows phpBB on the ProLight theme.

Is it possible to move “active topics” back to its own position instead of hidden under a menu while there is lots of screen space to show it. For me the most clicked link
I support this wish for the separate 'Active topics' link, as I'm using it very often too
Everything else works fine for me, everyone should be able to find a prefered theme/style
I created this quick and dirty user script, which adds the 'Active topics' and 'Unread posts' link directly next to the FAQ link:
Code: Select all
var quickLinksElement = document.getElementById('quick-links');
var dropDownDiv = quickLinksElement.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];
var quickLinksLi = dropDownDiv.getElementsByTagName('li');
for (var i = 0; i<quickLinksLi.length; i++) {
var linkElements = quickLinksLi[i].getElementsByTagName('a');
if (linkElements.length > 0 && linkElements[0].getAttribute('href') && (linkElements[0].getAttribute('href').search('active_topics')>=0 || linkElements[0].getAttribute('href').search('unreadposts')>=0)) {
var clone = quickLinksLi[i].cloneNode(true);
var navBar = document.getElementById('nav-main');
navBar.appendChild(clone);
}
}
You can add this user script for example with the browser extension

Change the registration procedure to stop spammers.
1. More complicated auth to deter bots.
2. Add the requirement of X (trial period) posts before the user is allowed to post any links (including images).
If any link is posted before that (including signature and private page) -> auto ban + all posts are deleted.
If the time difference of 2 posts in that trial period is below a certain threshold -> auto ban + all posts are deleted.
If there are 2 posts with the same content in different forum sections within the trial period -> auto ban + all posts are deleted.
If any post is reported in the trial period + X posts by a trusted forum member (X+ posts) -> deactivate account + all links are removed -> message send to admin for review (including the removed links).
Dont allow registration with the same name (match non numerical part) within X minutes of each other -> show information pls wait...
Block the same IP address from sucessfully registering more than one account per day.
Something like that...

A captcha should be enough

You would think differently if you had to delete several spams a day and ban their authors.

I think most of them are bots.
They should be locked out with a reasonable captcha.
So a shit as they write, no human with mind can write.
I also do not notice more than ever.
Real people you can not stop anyway, they always find a way and then adapt to the circumstances.
Whereby I can hardly recognize an interest for a reasonably thinking spammer or Phisser to waste his time in a PB forum.
Statistically, every thousandth to ten thousandth spam or phishing mail results in success.
Amazingly, the more idiotic the more successful.
This can also be applied to clicks on a posting.
Since most of them do not reach 50 clicks before they are kicked out, the effort for a real existing person is in no relation to the success.
How many do you have to delete per day on average ?
The time required is rather small, I think.
I could not log in via GMX anyway.
I think freemailers are blocked ?
If that's the case, most of them will be locked out anyway, even if they are not bots and mean no harm.
To that extent, for myself it was exceedingly difficult to be able to register at all.
You sign up, then nothing happens, not even a mail that you were rejected, just nothing.
That was a year ago.

I disabled the sticky header for prolight.
Thank you, works great now. Maybe you could do the same for the german forum?
Again, could you do this in the german forum as well?

It does not work yet on the german forum. It still has a header that stays when scrolling. Example post link:
https://www.purebasic.fr/german/viewtop ... 80#p359980
The same seems to be true for the french forum.
Also, the forums have no PB logo for the narrower layouts. Resize window to a small window width to see this.

Replaced "unreadposts" with "egosearch". I am looking for answers to my threads. Previously, the link was on the right.
Another would be to do localization

Fred ,
please if possible : switch to Consolas Font for Code , instead of Courier New or Courier Font
Consolas Font size=10 or 11 , would make better readable posted PureBasic Code
and ProSilver Special Edition style looks great ! thanks .

The change from "code tags" to "textplain" looks very modest to ugly under "dark edition". The background colours do not look like this at all and the font size is too large.
Please adjust once.

Hi all,
I hesitated to write this post because it is such a good forum and I didn't want to start an argument; and while I know a number of you have indicated liking the white text on black background for code snippets, I find it very uncomfortable to look at and I cannot get used to it - the contrast is too stark and I have even difficulty locating the slider bars. My vote would be to stay with black text on a light to mid-grey background, eg. RGB(192, 192, 192). I know we all have our preferences but surely I'm not the only one finding the white text on black background uncomfortable to read.
