Since we began the open beta test earlier this month we've had two rounds of bug fixes, and things are going well. We still don't have a firm date for the final launch, but at this point we're hopeful that DU4 will be here sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we're opening it up again for another round of testing.
Aside from a variety of code and text fixes all across the site, here are some of the important changes we've made since the first round of testing:
LARGE FONTS
There is now an option to increase your font size in Default Mode and Night Mode. Go to My Stuff > Account Settings and scroll down to the Visual appearance section to find it.
SITE SEARCH BAR
Added in the previous round of fixes, there is now an easy way to get to site search -- click the magnifying glass icon found in the main site navigation bar at the top of every page, and site search will appear. (Only available on non-mobile devices.)
ADDITIONAL SHARE OPTIONS
The Share button at the bottom of OPs now includes additional options for sharing to Reddit, Mastodon, and Pinterest, as well as Twitter and Facebook. The new sharing options could use some additional testing so please let us know if they are working (or not) for you.
EDITORIALS & OTHER ARTICLES
This forum was originally scheduled for retirement on DU4 but after discussion with forum regulars we've decided to keep it. It is now located at Issue Forums > Editorials & Other Articles. If you want a quick link to it in your left column navigation, simply subscribe to the forum.
OTHER FIXES
Here are some other fixes of note:
- Fixed issue with pinch-to-zoom on certain mobile devices (we hope -- please let us know if you are still having a problem with this)
- Fixed issue with highlight tags displaying wrong color in Night Mode
- Fixed issue with post form scrolling too far on landscape mobile devices when the virtual keyboard was touched
- Fixed post footer buttons not displaying correctly on certain devices
- Fixed blocked members not appearing on Topic Forums About pages
- Fixed issue with site logo not centering on mobile devices
