Looks the same to me (just obviously different resolutions).

Whats going on?

@UltikanaRe

You really need to start explaining with more than just an image link. Why is this different behavior for you? What are you highlighting in this image? What do you expect to happen and what is not happening that you expect? When did this change happen? What browser?

Any reason I can't Like/Laugh/etc a status from someone's User/Bio page?

@Ruby

It's coming soon™.

The fuck...

@UltikanaRe

I knew Apple was going to merge Mac OS X and iOS one of these days.

I wouldn't particularly desire that. The text is small enough already, and that would just add confusion. I'm in favor of making the entire timestamp the link to the latest post.

@LegendBegins

Mobile pages need less clutter, not more. In fact, if there are links to the username on desktop, I'd suggest disabling them on mobile.

Mahz's Dev Journal

Obviously the UI design here kinda sucks at that width, but until I think of something better, the idea is that people can associate the [-->] button as the "go to the latest post" button.

If timestamps were always hyperlinked, do you think that would be obvious to people? Maybe I can just replace the buttons with hyperlinked timestamps altogether?

@Mahz

Well, I looked through a swath of boards that I'm on, and here's what I see for last posts. By newest unread post, I mean the post directly following the last post a user read. By last post, I mean the final post in the thread at the moment.

IPB:

Title link: newest unread post
Timestamp: last post

vBulletin:

Title link: last post
> > button: newest unread post

SMF:

Title link: newest unread post

phpBB:

Title link: last post
> > button: newest unread post

XenForo:

Title link: newest unread post

To answer your question, @Mahz, no, I think that would be confusing behavior to link the timestamp to the newest unread post. You may be able to get away with linking the topic title to the newest unread post, however, as that seems to be conventional forum behavior in about half the modern boards.

<Snipped quote by LegendBegins>

Sucks, but I can understand the reasoning behind it. i guess things like quotes will have to go in the bio and status updates rather than the sig space.

@Altered Tundra

Don't worry, people like me who have sigs turned off won't see them anyway.

Given that it is a school computer, it is perhaps more likely that your school's firewall is not liking the Guild, probably for reasons tied to the Guild's content.

@BBeast

Considering it's a Mac, it's probably using Safari, and likely an older version (because schools are notoriously bad at good IT). This is probably as @LegendBegins mentioned, a rendering problem.

Mahz's Dev Journal

Mahz, did you or someone upload a virus to the site because the Mac* here at school is flipping the Hell out whenever I visit this site.

To make everyone comfortable: there's nothing going on I needed to pay attention to at this time.

*Yes I know this seems almost contradictory because "lolMacsDon'tgetViruses", which is surprising me.

@Dinh AaronMk

Is this a serious question? Are you actually accusing Mahz of uploading a virus? *SMH*

Mahz's Dev Journal

@Captain Jordan Maybe only track unread posts for topics you've viewed then? (imo) It shouldn't apply to every topic on the guild, it is just really distracting imo to have [NEW] covering every topic on the forum.

@TheMaster99

That seems like an interesting idea. Between FRESH and NEW (but only after you've viewed it at least once), we should have enough ways to indicate topics that have new content, without overwhelming people.
