There are some weird quirks with the forum...
Seems like all the drop down menus keep popping up and when you close one and then close another the first one pops back open again. At first I thought it was just something janky with the mobile site but it's doing it on my desktop, also. ><

I'll notify goober. This is above my paygrade.

Re: There are some weird quirks with the forum...
So, it seems that it is a style issue, since goober has just updated the software last night.
I've contacted him and told him of the issue.
Unless he can fix said issue, I'll deactivate the style until we have something usable to replace it with.

Re: There are some weird quirks with the forum...
After a quick search, it looks like the DIV class "dropdown" in phpBB used to include "display: none;" by default, but now does not, so everything displays by default. Further, since the JS code in the theme assumed display: none was the default behavior, clicking the controls fires a "toggle" function that just switches it between "display: block" and "display: none". Since, without any explicit setting, a DIV is set to "display: block," and the toggle switches it to "display: none" when you click what should control the menu.
Worse, since there's JS code looking for a click away from a drop-down menu (so that it hides when you want to stop using it), clicking away makes it reappear (because it uses the same toggle, which sees that it's set to display: none and switches it back to display: block).
From what I can tell, editing the "dropdown" class in a central CSS file should fix it. Based on my fiddling with my browser console, it looks like that's in common.css under the theme folder of our primary theme (/forum/styles/proDVGFX/theme/common.css) and that adding "display: none;" to the .dropdown class fixes it.
There are also other things that have been broken. The format buttons, for example.
I also think, based on what I'm seeing posting this, that under .codebox code, white-space should be set to pre, not normal. But maybe I'm crazy.

position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 1.2em;

border: 1px solid transparent;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 9px 0 0;
margin-right: -500px;
}

I actually understood all that. I guess some of the stuff I learned in class did stick after all.

You're probably right, Arch.
For now, we'll set prosilver as default. I'll do it tomorrow, if goober doesn't beat me to it ;-)

Re: There are some weird quirks with the forum...
I'm doing training this week, but if I have time I'll look into it and see if I can find a fix, or figure out how to fix as suggested. I was thinking there must have been some kind of update that was applied, as well, but fixing from a cell phone isn't exactly ideal.

Re: There are some weird quirks with the forum...
I apologize for the eye-watering colours, but at least the drop down menus are working.
Someone more knowledgeable in CSS than I can try to fix it (Cadden). Otherwise, the author of proDVGFX (our custom style) is working on a fix, but has no ETA.

Re: There are some weird quirks with the forum...
I will try to get a fix worked out this weekend. I've been training this week with limited Internetz access. Hopefully it's as simple as Arch's theory. If not, we'll just have to wait for the author to update it. I'm not well versed in CSS to dig that deep into this. I'd probably break the forums, knowing my luck.

Mir doesn't know what the cause is, but the effect is that you smell like poop.

Re: There are some weird quirks with the forum...
The "display: none;" code fixed the drop-down issue, but, of course, there's still nuances that need to be addressed before we can re-activate the old style. Might just be easier, at this point, to wait for an official release, I'd think.
I browsed their current demo database, there really isn't anything that particularly strikes me as a good alternative theme to implement now.
