As above, when you 'reply' to someone's post their name doesn't appear in the reply. This has been happening for a bit but it used to show the name.
Is there a reason for this, or just a bug?

It's there. But the font is too light for it to show up. You can drag your mouse pointer over it to highlight it then you can see it.

That is one hell of a camouflage. What's the point in making it that colour.
Is there a way to change the colour, so that I can actually see it?

Any chance of a fix @Dan

@Dan

This is the section you need to change in the CSS:

.fr-view blockquote[data-quote]:before {
display: block;
content: attr(data-quote) ":";
font-size: 13px;
color: #f90;
background: #fafafa;
padding: 6px 10px;
margin:-6px -10px 6px -10px

content: attr(data-quote) ":";
font-size: 13px;

background: #fafafa;
padding: 6px 10px;
margin:-6px -10px 6px -10px

If that fixes it then you get an award. Cheers. And a pint of Old Peculiar. Well, half a pint. And some crisps. Ta.
 
The theme could be changed with a link at the bottom of any page, but it’s gone now.
I think the only options were normal and Christmas themed.... that’s Christmas 2019!

Good to see someone speaking @Dan s language.

Web design is something I was involved with in the past - Before wanting to retrain to become and electrician of course!

Also noticed another hidden but of text at the bottom of the longer quote boxes "Click to expand...

This is the section that needs fixing (the color line)

CSS:
.bbCodeBlock-expandLink a {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 6px;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 13px;
    color: #f90;
    text-decoration: none;
}

For those who want to fix it temporally on your side, install the Chrome Stylus extension: Stylus - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne?hl=en

Create a new style and copy this in:

CSS:
.bbCodeBlock-sourceJump {
    color: #f90 !important;
}

.bbCodeBlock-expandLink a {
    color: #f90;
}

then you'll be able to see who's been quoted in the post :)

Oh I wish it was parsed like that, and that easy matey.

That is what code you see spat out.

What goes in, is another story. If I change the colour (and I will get there) for that username font (which is a link, so it's not that code you say it is, it's the URL code color) it will change umpteen other colours.

So it's work in progress.

Hang in there peeps lol

That's way way down the list of things to do.
