One of my least favorite things Android has ever done is switch my phone to dark mode every time my battery gets to 15%. Drives me batty

Everybody should still be square. Force a refresh etc.

OK, I added the switch, it’s in preferences, interface. It will switch to the Dark theme when your browser thinks it’s dark. Autoswitching is disabled by default for everybody.
We’ve got thread counts in the dropdown again :)

Does that bother you? I disabled some old components that didn’t seem to be doing much of value.

Amazing. I just tested it and it works! It’s automatically changing between the Light and Dark themes as I flick my iOS setting on and off. Wild. Thanks for enabling it, hope I’m not the only weirdo who will take advantage of it.

Noice! My pleasure.
Discourse makes it really easy to add stuff like this, and it even checks the source github for updates to the addons automatically. The software takes up a ton of resources compared to VB and Xenforo but it’s super slick.
I’ve noticed recently that on my Android tablet and using the app in desktop mode that I’ve lost visibility to the scroll bar/option box that’s usually on the right side:
What am I doing wrong? : )
It’s just clutter I think. No-one is going to that menu for that info.

The scroll bar is right there, to the left of 1884. What are you missing exactly?
If just clutter in the dropdown, I see no reason to enable a component just to change it.
That screenshot was from my laptop. On my tablet it looks like this 👉
It’s missing unless I scroll to the bottom of the thread - which becomes an issue when entering a long thread for the first time. I usually just switch to mobile mode to scroll, then switch back when I’m done reading.

That’s really weird. Try clearing your cache and cookies and hard refreshing? Could be a bug on tablet android, because nobody in the world other than you uses one!

Apple’s got about 25% of the global tablet market. Android (including Amazon’s shitty version of it) has about 60%. Apple has the biggest share of any single company, but as with the mobile phone market, there are more Android devices out there.

On my shitty Android Amazon tablet running Firefox the scroll bar is fine. Could be a mobile browser issue?
Edit: I take that back. I still see the message count on my phone and clicking on it displays the scrollbar.
There was a point this weekend when both were missing (just like @abidingdude). But it’s fine now. Must have been a CSS change not having been picked up yet.
I also am using a (rooted) Kindle, so maybe the issue is specific to our shitty Amazon devices.
I did notice that the thread count/clickable item appears correctly in Firefox so perhaps it’s just a Chrome issue.

Sorry to bring this up agai. but Qt3 is really hard to read in iPad. And I think it is probably a Qt3 specific settings which seem to have the Category column in Latest.
Here’s two Discourse forum using the same iPad … is there no one else reading Qt3 from iPad at all?

I read on iPad all the time. Your fonts look really large to me for some reason, and I have no clue what browser you’re using but it isn’t safari. Here’s what it looks like for me.

I am using the Discourse iOS hub app. That app that allow one to have multiple Discourse forum. I have been using it for so long, I didn’t think it would be different from Safari.
Here’s my screenshot on Safari. Yup, it’s slightly better. Improvement!
Looks like the category column in the table needs some css rule to let the category label wrap. Perhaps max-width? Probably something like max-width: 15em? I’d have to play with it to figure out the best value.
