I hope this is the correct place to put it.. if not sorry

I noticed that the blue banner at the top (the one that says forums, what new, members, calendar, ect.) fades away when scrolling sometimes, is this just me?

i probably should've added that it only occurs when there is the "click to expand" button, oops

First I've ever experienced this.

I've noticed this issue too. Try scrolling until the bottom of this block overlaps with the header:

Root cause, if you want it, is the "click to expand" link is an absolutely positioned element with a z-index of 100, and so is the floating header, but because the expand link comes after the header in the document source, it gets a higher stacking order.

Perhaps this element just needs a slightly lower z-index?

Yep. It disappears for me as well.

It doesn’t disappear for me using an iPhone and Chrome

Suggestions for the database and map -

1. Add an "Approved" status for projects in orange on the map, similar to some of the renderings on Stephen Velasco's future model TO

2. Have a filter option to only show project icons you are following on the map

To add on to this I say
1. Maybe add something that indicates whether it's a residential development or an office building etc and a filter that goes with it.
2. Sometimes the database map can be very laggy because of the immense amount of developments tracked on the map. So my solution is they add a way to only view the map for a specific city being tracked on here.

Can I suggest a rule that users posting content from social media (more specifically Twitter) must post the text or a screenshot into their forum posts? It's a bit annoying to get to a post that just links to a social media site that I can't read since I don't have an account.

 

[Cyber98]

A suggestion I have is that in articles you guys should refer to the area as the GGH rather than the GTHA as I feel the Greater Golden Horseshoe represents the general Toronto area more as it includes the Waterloo and Niagara areas which are covered on this site a bunch. I also feel that in general the GTA label should be dropped and replace with GGH as a whole.

A bit broader than the forums themselves, but I am not sure of a better place to put it. With what's happening on the "ex-bird" site, have you guys looked at making an account on Bluesky? The Toronto and broader urbanism community has really flourished over there, and you guys (and anyone else) should give it some serious consideration. @ProjectEnd can back me up, amongst others. A couple things to highlight:

• You can self-authenticate by making the site domain as the account handle ("@urbantoronto.ca"). And if desired, some staff could have their own accounts with subdomain handles (e.g. @PinkLucy .urbantoronto.ca). Instructions here.
• Bluesky is built on the ATmosphere, a decentralized protocol that lets other socials on the same protocol interact with each other. This would also let you move from Bluesky to something else in the future, if need be, without losing followers or posts; you basically move your content over. You may or may not find integration opportunities in the future as the protocol and everything else built on it matures.

Cheers.

I joined BlueSky yesterday in response to the cycling advocacy/protests but haven't had time to explore it.
