Anyway, using the Greasemonkey script to make the site page width certainly helped a lot, but there is still a lot to be done:

- Colours: the high contrast scheme is tiring on the eyes
- Quotes: We need a 'reply to this post + quote' button and the quoted text needs to be styled different from the rest
- Bigger Avatars (although this doesn't really bother me that much.
- HTML editor needs to be fixed
- HC 1.0 Emoticons

**bleep** that up. How do you quote?

You hit reply on the post you want to quote, and on the page that appears there's a "Quote" button to the top right of the text box.

Anyone know how to see latest posts without seeing every single post? I just want to see them listed by thread.

I think in preferences there is an option to change from the default

What's the greasemonkey thing exactly? I looked at the thread about it and went to download it but it said it was for Firefox and I use Chrome. What does it do?

[Calum]

I've already had two error messages this morning. One when I was trying upload my av and an "authentication failed" message when I was posting a minute ago and which is now lost. I had to log in again. Unless things like that are genuine and very soon to be fixed teething problems then this place will really be fucked.

you can get Tampermonkey for Chrome. Just download and install, then copy and paste the codeinto it...voila: HC in page-width view :thu:

Why are they all 'monkeys'?

I'm on the mobile site writing this. It's not bad at all. Fast, easy to use and blue white and brown. It's like a rainbow but with only three colours.

How do you get on the mobile site? When I load HC in my browser, it brings up the regular page, not the mobile. What is the mobile URL?

Done it. Hmmm. I'm not sure anything's changed. I had the page size at 150% and now I've reduced it to 125% and I can see the full page. I'm not sure if I couldn't before now. :facepalm: Oh well.

There's no need for Greasemonkey. Just set the zoom in your browser until the blue borders are a reasonable size. You might then have to go to your account settings to lower the font size.

Looks fine for me now. What's with the tiny column size for the thread subject on the forum page though?

[pmc100]

Oh, and in settings I see you can also turn off the annoying post complete acknowledgement page.

the zoom option is **bleep**, becasue: 1. you need to change the font size, 2. it mucks up every other page you are viewing, it doesn't change the column sizes. Greasemonkey takes care of all of this

[Acadiafall]

Can't seem to find out how to quote, or indeed paste a link but here's the address of the mobile site

I bet it takes you to the regular site anyway

Yeah the tiny thread subject and accompanying MASSIVE ad to the right is an annoyance. They should try to stick it back up the top where ads used to be and where they can be safely ignored and don't interfere with the width.

[Acadiafall]

Oh the link works anyway. Goddaaaaaaamn. Technology etc

Chome and Firefox are clever enough to know that the zoom setting should only apply to this site. Other sites look fine.

I can live with a little bit of blue and you can get rid of even that.
