If I click the link you gave I get this picture but I always go straight to new post page from Firefox recent link list and it is https as it use to be.

Another suggestion which is very much a personal preference - not sure if this will be popular so ignore if not: move the New Posts and My Posts to the top level menu and move the two server links into Quick Links as I am **guessing** that the posts links are more useful day to day?

First thing I always check when I visit is what people have been chatting about since my last visit.

Hi,

Sorry to complain about this more, but the Private Message, Find Member screen, is causing problems, the text is off black on white background, with the border of the text boxes in white.

I can not enter the correct data to perform the search.


Regards,

Derek

There seems to be a disproportionate amount of web developers in ql scene maybe one can step forward with a theme?

So this means nothing can be changed?

If anyone has access to the theme's CSS file "colours.css" (or is it colors.css?) then change this code:

Code: Select all

html, body {
    color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
    background-color: #ECF0F1;
}

to this instead:

Code: Select all

html, body {
    color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0);
    background-color: #ECF0F1;
}
This will make the text colour completely black instead of just 40% black.


HTH

I just noticed if I open another tab in Firefox so the QL forum is not the focus the cpu load disappears if that helps identify the massive cpu load used by your not so green site despite the colour. :lol:

Thanks Norm, I've updated that now.

Can you try this test again please?
I've removed the particles in the header, I'm assuming this was the cause, but I couldn't replicate it here.
