Is anybody else getting these black dots on the thread title page ?
They only seem to be on the first letter, and not every thread has one. Am I missing something ?
Win 7 Firefox 40.0.3

 

Try hitting "ctrl -" a couple of times and see if they move. If they do, it's overlapping due to your zoom level. I expect that's the case anyway.

Just verified. This is what it should look like:



When the screen is squished down, or if it's zoomed too much, some of the divs will overlap, putting the dot over the text.

 

Nope..that didn't get it... Just made everything smaller. Also tried cntrl + and made it bigger..

 

I can reproduce this problem with Windows 8.1 and Firefox 40.0.3. It seems like the dots only appear over the first letter of the titles of unread threads.

I thought that too, but not the case. If you look at the pic I posted you'll see that there's one on the thread I started (this one)..
I don't know what the qualifier is, just like now, I seem to be stuck in the bold mode..

 

Hmm, would have thought changing the zoom would help. How about changing your screen resolution?

 

I'm at work now, and the problem has followed me here. I cannot change resolution here, all those settings are locked. Same OS and ver of Firefox.
I don't change resolution, sometimes zoom in, don't know what could've caused this.

 

I am running the same setup as Gerty and am getting the same results. If I hover over the dot, the link info says that it leads to the unread posts, while if I hover over the title it does not. FWIW, I noticed it yesterday with the dots over the titles, and then a little while later the dots were back where they were supposed to be, so I assumed it was a new feature in the site software that required a little tweaking. But today, the dots are back in the wrong place.

ETA: and I only see the dots over threads with posts that I haven't read.

 

Some browsers treat the code differently. It could be an issue with the layout not having FF support. This would suggest poor page design, but we all know that is not an unreasonable assessment.

 

This appears to be a FireFox specific css bug. (I also tested in Chrome, Safari & IE). Will do my best to get it fixed today, thanks for pointing it out @gerty.

 

Hello,

In qupzilla and konquerer the dots are also visible for unread threads in the recent posts list.

If you hold your mouse pointer over it ... a popup will show you the WHOLE title.

It's a truncated page title.

like you see at the top of this posting ....

Title | All About Circuits
Dots?? | All About Circuits
Feedback and Suggestions | All About Circuits truncates to
Feedback and Suggestions | ...

The title exceeds the maximum tab width.

 

Don't know what happened, but it appears to be fixed now!
Thanks to whoever fixed it.
I changed nothing on this end, and I haven't tried my 'puter at the house..

 

It's not fixed ... you still have the three dots.

 

@JoeJester , the problem wasn't the dots, the problem was that the dots were sitting over the text. The dots SHOULD be beside the title. Just not on top of it. See the original post.

 

@DerStrom8 ,

OK ...

 

It's not fixed ... you still have the three dots.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on that Joe..

 

No problem gerty.

 

Hi Joe, my apologies if my post sounded rude. That was not my intention.

Regards,
Matt
