Yesh, yesh... please wait :s13:

Like I mentioned, the usage for the forum differs from the main site.
Thus we're tweaking it as we go.

We've agreed internally to amend this point.


Can remove the irritating drop down top menu or notch ?

Blink in blink in out simi sai lai de jin headache leh ~

:(:(:(

actually with the green up arrow button thing... no need for the top menu to drop down bah... ppl can just press that up and jump straight to the top of page to access the header... :s11::s11:


regards,
wacky

I hope that the 100% view is made available for people who do not log in as well.

Thank you.

You may download Tampermonkey either from Google Chrome Store or Mozilla Store or http://tampermonkey.net/

Go to the dashboard and create a new userscript, copy and paste the contents below in it. It will dynamically create the functionality to allow you toggle between 100% and the latest 1060px width. A tutorial can be found at https://hibbard.eu/tampermonkey-tutorial/

There are 2 options "100%/1060px" provided on the top right hand corner beside the blue button in the navigation bar.

The script will remember your settings using the localStorage regardless you are logged-in or not.

This script will overshadow your forum settings, but it is not permanent or related to HWZ Forum. If you find it faulty or unnecessary in the future, just disable the script or uninstall the Tampermonkey extension will do.

Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name         Expand Width For HWZ Forum
// @namespace    http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg
// @version      1.0
// @description  Expand the width of the forum to 100% of the browser width
// @author       DKSG
// @match        http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/*
// @require      https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.slim.min.js
// @grant        none
// @run-at document-end
// ==/UserScript==

function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    var head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
}

function setWidth() {
    event.stopPropagation();
    var width = $(event.target).data("width");
    localStorage.setItem("width", "" + width);
    jQuery("#canvas").css("width", width);
    jQuery("#canvas").css("max-width", width);
}

function addWidthOptions() {
    var button = '<li class="nav-top-links nav-top-li-right width"><a data-width="100%">100%</a> / <a data-width="1060px">1060px</a></li>';
    $("#floating-nav-bar > ul.nav-top-bar").append(button);
    $("#floating-nav-bar li.width a").on('click', setWidth);
}

(function() {
    'use strict';

    addGlobalStyle("#floating-nav-bar li.width, #floating-nav-bar li.width a { color: white; cursor: pointer }");
    addWidthOptions();
    
    var width = localStorage.getItem("width");
    jQuery("#canvas").css("width", width);
    jQuery("#canvas").css("max-width", width);
})();

Just waiting for our back-end admin and dev team to sync this out to the live servers.

Okay folks, we've implemented the following updates:-

- HWZ top navigation bar has been fixed to the top; no more bobbing in/out while scrolling about.

- Fixed width and 100% toggles implemented at the top black bar (social sharing bar). This is cookie-based or session based, depending on how you are accessing the forum.

- User ID no longer shown when you're logged in to the site. It will instead only show a "Welcome" message. User ID will be shown if you drop down to access the respective user control options.

Can solve the hi-light issue? hi-lighting of words still lack contrast using that faint purple.

Sorry to hear that :(

We have requested for an update, but let us re-pursue this matter soon.

Are you on iOS or Android?

I'm using the latter, haven't really noticed anything wrong on my end.
But we're aware of the change requests made a few months ago.
