New forum

Two quick modifications:
- restored the favicon
- videos can now be embedded in posts

My mobile keeps getting an antispam prompt since the upgrade, quite annoying.

I'm still testing/adjusting anti-bot mods. Can you show or describe me what you get?

A page telling me I am probably infested with malware, which then makes me do a math problem, then redirects to an identical page with another math problem.

Is it when you're logged in, or before? After solving the maths problems, can you use the forum normally?

[Serapth]

It was not logged in, after solving the two math problems it allowed me access to the site.  At which point I logged in, and upon returning ( without logging out... does anyone actually log out? ), it didn't present me with the spam page.

[Laurent]

Ok thanks for the details. It doesn't appear in my log, so I'm not sure which mod does this, and why. I hope it won't happen too often.

The search function seems not to work correctly. For example, if I enter Thor, I get several threads where the word "author" is contained, and even more threads were nothing alike has been mentioned.

I enabled the "match whole words only" option, should be ok now.

Is it possible to have links from the old forum redirect to the corresponding topic in the new forum? It's frustrating to run into posts that link to other topics, only to be thrown a page that says the forum has moved with no way to get to the actual topic.

Nice, now the search works! Although only some minutes after you wrote your post

By the way, why is the forum fixed to a constant width? On my screen, only a little bit more than the half width is filled with the forum frame. This leads to unfortunate line breaks in codes, such as here...

And something I just remarked and I really like is the warning that a new answer has been posted in the meantime

This is how the theme works. Other themes, such as the default one, have a variable width.
However the current theme can easily be modified to have a variable width too. So later I can provide two versions of the theme: fixed or variable width, and each user can choose its preferred option.

Personnally, I think that very large lines tend to make reading harder, so it's not an issue for me.

Okay, didn't know that. Otherwise, the current theme really pleases me, it's just the code lines that are sometimes broken. But at least we write shorter lines like this

I changed the CSS to fix this. Now there's a scrollbar instead.

[Nexus]

Sorry, I didn't mean you should change it to a scrollbar (especially not a vertical one as in the example)

I think it was okay before. In case you add a variable-width theme one day, we can use that, otherwise we just write short lines. What do other users think about that?
