UrbanToronto Redesign

[alklay]

A quick rant: every time I come on this board, I curse all the useless clutter at the top and the bottom. There is little room to read the posts, let along see the pictures properly. And as for the mobile version...it is unusable.

I realize that those who have put in the work making this site what it is, have thankless jobs. But I cannot thank you enough. I also cannot wait for us to leave this forum service, or whatever it is, and move to something that works better on a desktop and on a phone or tablet.

Could we get a dark mode ?

Why is the Ontario Line Forum closed to comments??

Because it was getting heated and going around in circles I would guess.

Some suspensions might be a better way to deal with trolls.

I have note before but I never get notifications if someone notes me as @DSC Id=s this because UT (or your software) does not search for short words or ???

This is an example I saw, by accident, today Time & Space thread;

Looking into it.

Yes, this
I was wondering where to post this request and I also think a lot of people would love a dark mode.
UT is the one site I frequent that blasts my eyes every night lol. But, I love it here.

Since some people seem to agree with the dark mode suggestion, one thing I've been doing lately is to install a chrome extension that converts the CSS of the website you're viewing into dark mode. It's something you can just flip on and off when needed and seems to make a big difference at night.

Just take your pick to whichever one you think looks best https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/dark mode

Though it may well be a system feature and thus unfixable by our UT Overlords, I note that being tagged if your UserName is too short (??) still does not work.

Though it may be too much work to do this, it would be great if the DATABASE file had a link to the (Official) RENDERINGS - separate from the contributor photos . The databases have links to all photos (which is great) but for a building with lots of photos it is VERY time-consuming to get to any renderings in amongst them.

Hi all,

We are launching some new changes today to UrbanToronto.

First is our new map: https://urbantoronto.ca/map/

We've also add a new section - Dashboard: https://urbantoronto.ca/dashboard/

Let us know your thoughts and any issues you may encounter here.

Thanks

Edward

This is still an issue so if you are in 'Fixin' Mode" you might want to see if it can be fixed. I suspect it is because my Alias is too short, the search function (which also needs work) ignores short words too.
