Decided to make a place to keep track of all the things I've noticed that need changing/fixing instead of just randomly saving screenshots to my desktop and hoping I'll remember why I saved it.

If anyone notices anything wrong on the forum or has suggestions, please reply in this thread.

Just a few things to start out (will edit post as I add more):

​
1. The red text is sometimes hard to read on lighter grey backgrounds. The problem also affects the hover color on links in form posts.​

"Dark theme with red text is readable but harsh."​
​
​
2. [DONE] Buttons on places like Login and Post or Reply to thread are missing a border and different color that makes them look like buttons.​

​
3. [DONEish] Not a huge fan of the logo and favicon. I whipped it up quickly in photoshop but want to improve it while keep the same general idea.​

Meh, I quit for now. It'll just be kind of generic and boring.​

Maybe something like this would be better?​

4. Add and fix some of the classic emoticons (now called emojis).​

(too dark bowrofl),

,
etc.​
​
​
​
5. [DONE] Get a GIPHY API to add support for directly adding animated images.​

​
6. [DONE] Fix YouTube embed and add embedding for other sites that XenForo doesn't support out of the box (like redgifs.com)​

I had to change the server referrer-policy to "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"​
​
​
7. Report of xerq.cc being blocked by work filters. Probably nothing to be done but wait.​
Workplace filters don’t wait for Google.​
They block on:​
New domain lists (NRD feeds flag sites days old by default)​
Category engines (forum + explicit NSFW allowed = Adult / Forums / Uncategorized)​
Heuristics (.cc TLD, cheap host, little history)​
None of that needs search-engine scraping. A first visit or a feed match is enough.​
​
​
​
8. Getting Page could not be loaded error occasionally.​

​
​
9. Logging out on mobile browser logs you out but the page hangs after clicking logout and doesn't redirect or indicate the log out actually happened.​
​
​
​
10. [DONE] Allow multiple thread prefixes so NSFW can be selected along with another topic. Done. Found an add-on that allows it. Set to a maximum of two prefixes as to not make thread titles look too cluttered.​
​
​
​
11. [DONE] Gate check NSFW threads for non-logged in users (guests) to display a warning before continuing.
