I don't reliably get alerts anymore, and haven't for some time (I keep finding quote replies to my post of which I was never notified). My settings are unchanged (alerts on for everything).

Guest posts don't alert. Is that it?

[Hamamelis]

Most likely. I am retarded, apologies.

I like the newspaper theme, but I don't like when too little content gets stretched across columns. Look at the bottom row of this screenshot to see what I mean:

I made a css/javascript workaround to fix this. In the newspaper css theme, add these to .post_body:

Code:

    column-fill: auto;
    max-height: 50ch;

And in threads.js, add the function adjustMaxHeight and its function call. It reverts the two css rules in the case that the content overflows. 

Code:

var Thread = {
    init: function()
    {
        $(function(){
            Thread.quickEdit();
            Thread.initQuickReply();
            Thread.initMultiQuote();
            Thread.adjustMaxHeight();

            // Set spinner image
            $('#quickreply_spinner img').attr('src', spinner_image);
        });
    },
    adjustMaxHeight: function()
    {
        var columns = document.querySelectorAll('.post_body');
        function checkOverflow(el){
           var curOverflow = el.style.overflow;
            if ( !curOverflow || curOverflow === "visible" )
                el.style.overflow = "hidden";
            var isOverflowing = el.clientWidth < el.scrollWidth || el.clientHeight < el.scrollHeight;
            el.style.overflow = curOverflow;
            return isOverflowing;
        }
        columns.forEach(function(column) {
            if (checkOverflow(column)) {
                column.style.maxHeight = 'none';
                column.style.columnFill = 'balance';
                console.log("exceeded");
            }
        });
    },

This is what it look like. Compare this to the above example:

I also think that justified text looks bad. Here is what it looks like without justified text. Compare this screenshot to the previous:

This looks quite neat and works as its own serious option for how to look at the site. I would like to see this added as a proper option, and would do so myself right now if I knew how. Thanks for the contribution. I'll show chud.

I created a new color scheme that also uses the auto filled columns. Any thoughts?

I'd use that for a while. I think we need more colour options. What I'd really like right now is a dark one sort of like Lainchan.

[Mason Hall-McCullough]

It looks good though I would personally make the backgrounds darker. I'd like a theme that was both dark and used the serif font.

The newspaper theme also needs a fix for YouTube embeds.

Cindy theme is good; imo it was better with blue links.

Thank you so much for these tweaks, from the bottom of my heart. Am a bit "out of it" at the moment but will augment site to match as soon as my head clears up

Sure thing. I don’t think it would break anything else, but I’m not super familiar with the code base. Hope you feel better soon.

Certain posts have black text over the dark background in Cindy mode.

I usually pride myself on my punctuality.

If you want this username don't even bother trying.

Ok Niccolo, no fun allowed. Just wanted access to the chat but I guess I can choose something else.

Thank you. And you should be able to register in a couple of days or so. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It is now, but it wasn't showing up on my screen for a while the other day.
