Bitcoin Forum

I was just about to reply something on different section, but I decided not to do it coz there is something in the reply box that caught my attention but I'm confuse though coz this is the first time I've seen this.

Have you guys notice the highlighted borders when you try to reply? It is thick in black color and I was wondering if it is just me who sees it.

But I think this was deliberately done to emphasize the area where we selected isn't it?

It's cool and helping though.

EDIT

All the type box is the same!

Do you mind having a screenshot about it? Sometimes there's a warning color in red, not sure for bold black.

my answer to yesterday's topic

When you start typing, the frame thickens when selected.

I know this is not that big of a deal but I appreciate it  :D

It seems both the image and the site is inaccessible.

Idk about that, mine is okay, maybe some addon/plugin works.

Ohh I see, you guys talked about it in your local board. Have you guys tried it on your phone? Does the border thickens also when you select it?

the frame on the phone turns red but not too thick

Same on my mobile browser with brave, still okay though.

It's a new feature in Chrome browser after the upgrade to version 83.
It has nothing to do with the forum.

I see a same black border in other websites too.

Edit:
I just found following threads in Google Chrome help.
Chrome 83 creates border on input (https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/49788569?hl=en)
Select options black border after chrome upgrade (https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/48974735?hl=en)

You mean that cute orange box? I love it actually

Edit: mobile, chrome + UC Browser (pissed me with its ads, otherwise not bad)

Wait what? I thought it was with the forum itself coz I see nothing on my other websites. I mean it's not the same with the other type box, like searching in youtube its border is glowing in blue when you select it.

Guess I need to check it out myself. Thanks for letting me know.

If you are using the newest Chrome version you should see that new black frame on all sites where you need to enter your logins or enter text in a form.
Here is a screenshot of a site I use where it is also visible.

I am very uncomfortable with this.

distracting frame around text area (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251741.msg54519490#msg54519490)

Seems to me he’s just making sure his shits working properly. Fair question.

The problem is using chrome. It’s impossible not to use at times but I’d switch to Firefox or DuckDuck if you don’t want google stealing all your shit and getting tracked like crazy. Duckduck works just as well for the forum, may have to type “bitcoint” to pull up the site vs just “b”, but small price to pay.

I thought that the black frame is new update in the forum but I found out that it is because of the update of google chrome . When you are going to type something, the type box will be highlighted by black, when I log-in in Facebook; that's when I found out that it is the new update of Chrome and it is not the update of this Forum. I think it is only applicable in the web version because when I log-in through smartphone, there is still no black frame in type box.

Using Google Chrome isn't a problem for me because my personal computer and my trade computer are different. It looks like Google Chrome has updated. However, this problem continues only on Bitcointalk.

It just highlights whenever you're in that box. It could also depend on the zoom ratio on your screen. If we are all 100%, it would look the same but it would be different for people who use 200% or another kind of device like a mobile phone probably.

Mine highlights into blue color. I'm using Brave browser.

This is probably not related to the zoom ratio or the forum because the Opera Browser looks like as usual. The main problem here is Google Chrome, and as an alternative, I would recommend the Opera browser I am currently using -edited-.

Yes, you may be right, but I wanted to give some advice because we talked about this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251736.0) in our local forum and we could not find a solution. This is a Google Chrome related issue and there are no settings to fix it. We also tried to return Google Chrome to default settings, nothing changed. As a short-term solution, a different browser can be used because Opera does not have a problem like this. I hope I was able to express myself.

Indeed. I think this isn't based on the CSS of the forum but on how the browsers defaults the style. I use Vivaldy browser yet everything looks normal (blue highlight is, I think,  the default style of the forum when textboxes are on focus). In most cases, all browsers have their default styling when it comes to simple pages like the forum.

In example:


i think this is too off-topic in this thread. We're focusing about how styling differs from other's browsers and platform, and not which is a better browser.

Ah, smart. I mean don’t get me wrong, chromes search engine is so incredibly superior it makes everything else almost seem like AOL 1.0 , so it’s a necessary evil at times.

(Tested this out on chrome just now and not getting the same. FYI )

It probably has to do with how browsers handle box fields, I'm quite surprised tho on how much attention this thing got lol

Im also getting the Blackbox line in my PC using the google chrome, but I'm not getting the black one when using my android phone.

I thought it was an update in the forum but I guess it's not.


Maybe this is the reason since I'm also using the new chrome version.

LoL  :D I tried to read all of your posts, then experimented on the Google Chrome browser I was using, but the truth is that I couldn't notice any difference here  ::) The entry box looks like normal, light blue and thin, not bigger than your description  :D Still trying to understand the change you are describing  :D

I don't understand how this new black box has become such a big issue. Why does it matter, how is the user experience any different now when it is there? Am I missing something ???

It was answered yesterday, you can read the several replies that I got here.

The thickening of the border when selected is due to Google Chrome upgrade, not everybody have it but I think all of us will have it soon.

Sorry I wasn't able to lock this thread after knowing the cause. I'll  take that. I'm locking it now.

Thank you guys!
