Is there a way to fill the page horizontally? Because this a lot of wasted empty space, especially on a 1440p monitor and imagine even more so on a higher resolution screen. Looks more like a a CRM portal than a forum. Edit: Nevermind, found it! :D
Yeah, I don't know what XF was thinking. Slide-out hamburger menus on the left requiring a tap in the hardest to reach corner on the screen is just plain obviously bad design from a UX perspective. What were they thinking? I love ResetERA, but I really foresee a mostly negative reaction to this update because it's a regression in a bunch of little ways that matter a lot. And I say this as someone who prefers Day/Night ERA over the legacy themes.
And no way to not have to deal with it now.. The new mobile site is so far away from anything that should be pushed out and I don't understand why this update needs to happen now on the 2nd instead of taking your time and letting the beta run as improvements are made over time with continued feedback from the users and then once it feels like a great improvement over the current site its released.
This is something we will investigate post-launch. If we can do it, I think it would have to be optional. Love it or hate it, unicode is now close to a universal standard. Refusing to adopt unicode over the long term carries real security risks. It really isn't optional. There are user-side solutions that might help you filter them out, but just about every modern website today will support unicode (and therefore emojis).
Oh another question, perhaps this is better for a bugs thread, but I currently have issues typing on mobile where if I get a word wrong and I go and press the suggested corrections on gboard, sometimes it won't fix the error or it makes it worse. I think people brought this up back when the site first started. Is this still an issue in the new version of the mobile site? I think it had something to do with the rich text editor
Thanks! If it is not possible, or just not worth the effort, I understand. But I am glad it's on the agenda at least. You can't turn off emojis while keeping the unicode? I am not versed in Xenforo, or modern website development in general for that matter, but it sounds strange that it is such an all or nothing thing. Either you adopt unicode and everything that comes with it, or you don't adopt it at all?
Filtering emoji out of text would mean introducing text parsers where there are none, which is where the server load and security concerns come in.
I see. I think I am still stuck somewhere in the 2000s with my head, as I remember emoticons being a thing you could just enable/disable at your own leisure. But apparently emojis work a bit differently. It is what it is then. No need to apologize, Cerium. If anything I should apologize for jumping to conclusions.
