Forum Upgrade (Feb 2026)

[arn]

Hi,

We've upgraded our forum software to the latest version of Xenforo.

Please report any issues or unexpected behavior changes here, and we'll get to it.

I'll post a more comprehensive set of changes later.

Unable to pick light theme since upgrade.

Seems like all posts are marked read.

I was able to select Dark Theme, but it is not taking effect.

Do you mean since the upgrade? A one time thing, or is it persistent?

In dark mode, unread thread titles no longer have white text and it's difficult to discern between read and unread ones. (Can go by boldness, but it doesn't stand out as much.)

There is a selector to manually pick light vs dark, but it's not working correctly at the moment.

Since the upgrade, persistent.

I’m using the web app installed on iPhone. Then logged in via Safari on iPhone and the same thing.

It must be my phone then. I'm back at a desktop and it's working fine.

 

[Hey Thomas]

Earlier you could jump directly to the first/last page of a thread by clicking on the small symbols « » beside the buttons Prev and Next. This possibility now seems to have disappeared. I found that very useful.

Is Tapatalk no longer supported?

The icons are bigger and different now.

And this morning PST I wasn’t able to access it until it was back up around 10 am.

Yep, big, black, obtrusive, and kind of ugly

The light/dark selector should be working now.

Two options.

Out of place… only good for accessibility reasons with visually impaired people or if y’all use bold text on your iPhone.

I am having weird scroll issues in Safari on iOS 26, that I didn’t have before the update.
In the thread overview inside a forum, scrolling occasionally stops all of a sudden. Or when changing the direction, it is acting all weird, stops scrolling or jumping up and down and then stops.

It occurs only in the thread overview though. Not inside a thread and not in the forum list.

😵‍💫

Sorry, what do you mean by thread overview?

Like that:

Site and Forum Feedback

questions, suggestions, & comments about the site or forums; MacRumors announcements

forums.macrumors.com

All the threads of one specific forum.
The scrolling here ist totally messed up in Safari on my iP17PM with iOS 26.2.1.

Inside a thread (like this one we‘re talking in), scrolling behaves totally normal.
