Can we change the default style variation from Dark to Light. Light background is more common and easier on the eyes. thanks

Possible to add headers so it's clear what these numbers are for? Thanks for all the hard work!

Don't know if this falls under bug or new feature, but for the longest time I've wanted to enable searching for strings that are three or less characters. I forgot the reason why it wasn't previously enabled, but searching is very different for things like ATO, CO2 monitor, CO2 tank, alk, Ca, Mg, pH, GAV, GFO, vendor abbreviations for frags (e.g., WWC, RR, TSA), etc. list goes on. Makes it difficult to find old posts with valuable information.

probably a feature request as it has always been like this, but big +1.. Usually search is an expensive operation and searching on short (1 or 2 letter) strings may result in unwanted results (as, an, I etc for instance).. but in this hobby, since there are tons of acronyms, it makes a lot of sense to support 3 (if not 2) letter (token) strings.. I personally have had issues searching for similar terms like ATO, GFO etc..

I swear I saw some initials like R for replies, V for views (or something like that) etc next to them when it initially launched.. a recent regression maybe @yosemiteclimber

You should be able to select 'System' which will follow what your system settings are.. if that's not working as intended, then it's a bug

Bug: Even if I hover over 7 (which is the number of replies in the thread) or 95 (which is the number of views in the thread), it always shows the tooltip for the number of reactions on the 1st message

HA! Just ran in to this searching "CFM" - this is a Xenforo limitation but I am working on a possible workaround.

System works, I am using it myself!

Looking, thanks - I think part of this was the mobile tweak I had to do for those sections as they were getting poorly concatenated...

Have we always been on Xenforo? For some reason I thought this was the update you did recently

Yep, always been Xenforo!

Not a urgent need for a fix. But noticed on my android galaxy 25 ultra in portrait mode. The high tide, reef nutrition and a few other banners are cut off and others seem not to be centered. They seem to look normal in landscape mode.

This isn't anything affecting functionally for anyone purely aesthetics so just mentioning it for later consideration.

OK - need to tweak mobile a bit, some of these sponsor images don't seem to be auto-adjusting to screen width like the rest.

Hmm, R2R is also using xenforo.. I just tested, short word searches (even 1 letter token) work there.. maybe custom tweaks? You can check and use the same tweak if needed

Yeah there is a setting buried SOMEWHERE...

I think it’s not xenforo’s restrictions.. I think the setting is in DB (default is 4) which explains why 4 letter strings works in search.. are you using cursor or any other agent to code? Might be an easy fix.. let me know if you need help debugging

Fixed!

still happening on Chrome (PC)

Actually it seems be both - the native sql limit plus there is a setting admin side for min/max character limits in search.

One trick for now is wildcard search
CFM* for 3 letters
*ph* for 2 letters

Innodb also has preset stop words iirc, I’ll get this updated tonight so we don’t need wildcards.
