I have been trying Dark mode and it works but has a couple of issues for me.
1. Quoted text is black/dark  which is unreadable to me on the darker background. I have to highlight it to read it.
2. Not specifically dark mode but the text is smaller in the quote and that makes it even harder to read. I can't find any text size adjusters in settings so I have to use Firefox's and that screws up the boxes in the forums at the sizes I use.

Just a couple of inputs. My eyes thanks you for the dark mode.


Note AFAIR that it is an experimental L2 Early Access feature.

A trio of Topics have recently become unavailable. In the past, reorganisations always included 'redirects' to the replacement Topics. Not this on this occasion - have I missed something?

1) https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=54.0 was once L2 Commercial Cargo and Crew
2) https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=34.0 was once L2 Historical Section
3) https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=29.0 was once L2 Orion/Future Vehicles

NB my NSF bookmarks have not been updated in a long while so some of the above Topic titles may be out of date.

We have done some L2 spring cleaning. Please go via the menu to rebookmark.

I can't seem to get to the forums on my Android phone anymore without scrolling down to the latest posts and entering there.  The link when you tap the three lines is gone.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

Regarding the wrong mobile menu : that's fixed now. We are performing some maintenance tasks during this weekend and this specific issue was overlooked during one of the updates. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Someone posted a way to search this forum using Google. If they could post that search parameter here, that would solve your search needs. Such a search parameter could be uses or adapted to other search engines.

Paste this into the Google search box:

[put your search terms here] site:forum.nasaspaceflight.com

Note, this will only work for the public threads, L2 stuff is not accessible by Google.

And the Google equivalent query to search in the title only should be

site:forum.nasaspaceflight.com intitle:"Forum Bug Reports"

See also https://churchofgoogle.org/search-tips.html
Just a friendly reminder that the "search tab" on the forum is behaving strange for the last few years. Here a screenshot of an example via NSF (left) which came up empty three times in row before a good result, versus a search engine (right).  Would be great if it was fixed.

This happens all the time for me as well.  Do we have any idea why internal forum search is breaking, and whether it can be fixed or worked around?

The favicon has been updated to the new logo for a while now, but if you open an attached image in a new tab it will have the old favicon with the white background.

Fixed and updated to the new logo, woohoo!

I have a few annoying users blocked* so that their (always inane, never useful) posts don't show up in my view of forums threads.  I see that they posted a comment, but the body of their comment is replaced with a message saying I have them blocked.  It's a useful feature that I appreciate.

I noticed today that this doesn't work on mobile.  I'm logged in, and I'm seeing their posts :)  Not the end of the world, but it might be a bug.  Mobile platform is Samsung Android Chrome.

PSA #1: EST does NOT mean "Eastern Time".  Use "Eastern" or "ET" instead, all year round, and avoid this common error.  Google "EST vs EDT".
PSA #2: It's and its: know the difference and quietly impress grammar pedants.  Google "angry flower its" .  *** See profile for two more NSF forum tips. ***

cross post...

Youtubes algorithm blocked the NSF article video for this mission for copyright reasons - at least in some countries.
Can you guys upload to a less restrictive video hoster?

The forum suddenly looks different in my (Chrome) browser. Has anything happened? Have you upgraded to new forum software?
Suddenly there are cobalt blue bars at the top and bottom of the screen. There's no usual header bar with options to select from, no search, etc.
When I look at posts, I no longer see who's liked them. Container widths for everything seem to now span the full screen width.

I have an older iPad 2, and recently I have been getting "This website encountered a problem and had to be ...". I use Safari. I have been using my MacBook Pro the past couple of days and not experiencing the problem.

Any known issues with older iPads?

Nope. No changes from us. I'm in Chrome too, all normal.

If you have an unsupported device then the devices native browser is also unsupported once you no longer receive software updates. The older the device is the more likely breaking changes occur resulting in the user needing a new device and newer browser version. I'm not sure what the minimum hardware and software specifications are for our forum's custom SMF software version compared to the normal SMF version provided by Simple Machines. Apple products are typically supported for around ten years but can vary.

A note for future reference:
For forum help please always include your devices model name, model year, operating system version and revision number (typically in parenthesis on Apple products), your browsers and their version information. With most browsers you can download what is known as an Extended Support Release or ESR to provide security and functionality updates for your unsupported device for a certain specified length of time that does not add any new browser features.

Our SMF version is 2.0.15. See Client at the bottom and make sure your browser meets SMF requirements:
https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.0:Requirements_and_recommendations
I'm not sure if our custom SMF version uses any 2.1.x components, but if it does the additional following must be met:
