@twig are you aware of any ajax notifications support for phpbb?

There's a fair bit of empty space in the bar at the top. I think it would be convenient if some of the options in the "Quick Links" menu were moved out into the bar, especially Search and Members.
Edit: I'm using proSilver Dark, if it matters.

Remove "edited X times in total."
Fine to leave a timestamp of last edit, but I don't see a need to show a count.

Show more posts per page. I didn't count the exact number but I see threads going to page 2 with very few posts total. I didn't see a setting to change that on my end.
Skip the confirmation page after changing a setting. Right now it takes you to a page saying it succeeded and it doesn't seem to redirect, so you have to click the link to get back to the settings page.

Recent topics feed on the right has a lot of empty space. Looks like it could easily be compressed.
Also, this blinding white background in proSilver Dark for the spoiler box is kind of lame.

Let me know how the recent topics is now, I suspect it's only partly fixed but wanted to see if that helps before I fix the rest.WhiteShark wrote: ↑ February 5th, 2023, 06:23Recent topics feed on the right has a lot of empty space.

FYI I'll only be supporting the prosilver_dark theme as I consider it to be the main theme. I think @twig might support a separate one, but that's up to him.

Spoiler background looks good now, thanks.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ February 5th, 2023, 12:41@WhiteShark tweaked the spoiler, let me know how it is now.
Is there something like the "What's New?" button from the old place? I used to scoff at it but it became useful.

Ah, yes, I forgot. It is smaller with the box at the top left of reach entry gone, but I believe it also told you whether there were unread posts in the thread, so it's a bit of a loss. Either way each entry still has a lot of wasted space.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ February 5th, 2023, 16:03Try again please, ctrl+shift+f5 to clear cache.

The little arrow next to it will be red or blue depending on whether it's unread or not.WhiteShark wrote: ↑ February 5th, 2023, 16:38Ah, yes, I forgot.

That's much better! The only strange thing now is that some of the "by <user>" entries are left aligned and some are indented.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ February 5th, 2023, 16:44The little arrow next to it will be red or blue depending on whether it's unread or not.
Also, try again, let me know.
edit: And it doesn't seem to be regular. I see entries that are indented to varying degrees.
edit2: Ah, got it. They're all right-aligned, so the length of the username changes how far left they go.
When you hit the bell, there should be an icon (maybe a yellow star or asterisk) that’s shows the new responses. there’s not enough color contrast.

It seems you can't give titles to spoiler boxes. spoil="blah blah blah" still results in a generic spoiler.

The newsposting will continue until morale improves.
"Post approved" should have a message explaining why it's there, and what it takes to make it go away.

If you put a quote inside a spoiler, the font color becomes dark (presumably because originally the spoiler background would have been white) and this makes it hard to read. Demonstration:

I think the Off-topic section and the Off-topic board should have different names for clarity.
