Assay Bloodlines gets messed up when checking a hatchling and a dragon.

Thank you for the report @Teufela!

This message should no longer be misaligned. We weren't actually able to replicate the error in testing, but the screenshot was descriptive enough to lead to a probable fix.

Please let us know if the fix did not work for you.

Text written in Edit Profile Bio or in any boxes of Forum Search/Auction Search absolutely merges with the background in Dark mode (on Mobile), being black on this shade of purple.
Same thing with Slate (on Mobile), where text in bio is still not in contrast with bg, though is tad bit more readable.

edit: added.
edit 2: here also goes Auction House's "Sell", when item was chosen. Maybe this appear in even more places.

Thank you for the report @MetallicChrome!

I've reviewed the following pages that you mentioned:
  • Edit Clan Bio form
  • Forum Search form
  • Auction Search filters

These pages have not yet been fully converted to use themes and they appear to be fully legible (black text on a white background).

Can you provide a screenshot demonstrating how these pages look on your screen?

By any chance are you using a theme plugin/extension in addition to the official Dark/Slate modes? If so, the extension may be recoloring those fields and making them illegible.

Hi, for clarification I've gotten some screenshots at increased zoom.

Thank you @TopazMutiny, that was incredibly helpful! I might have been too focused on comparing text styles to notice this was about icons

We have restored the outline vectors missing from the Library icon in the Wide, Desktop, and Tablet view navigation.

The phone view navigation was not missing any vectors, but we've updated the themes to be more consistent with how the outlines are colored.

The "sell" text on the auction house button on the dragon profile is unbolded. It seems that the bolding for the text in the other boxes overrides it? Via inspect element, the "font-weight: 800" is struck-out, but when disabling "font-weight: bold", it unstrikes it and bolds the text correctly (while unbolding the others, of course, but the point being that it seems to override when it shouldn't?)

Default view
unboldsell.png

Unchecking "font-weight: bold" in inspect element
boldsell.png

"Exalt" is strangely unaffected by this? Not sure if that's intended behavior or if it's supposed to be grouped in with whatever affects the other boxes. I dunno, I'm no web designer

I'm on Firefox, not sure if this is browser-specific

Thank you for the report @wyzard!

The screenshots were very helpful with tracking down the differences between these buttons. All dragon profile buttons (that have been converted to vectors) should now use the same font styles.

LaceWhiskey wrote on 2026-04-24 23:12:54:
Longer usernames are also incredibly small in comparison to other numbers in the little info box on the top right. For me it's even smaller than the text for the menu (Dragon Lair, Nesting Grounds etc). Can someone tell me if shorter names are larger and if this only applies to long names?

Here is the breakdown @LaceWhiskey!

Short names (1-6 characters): 18px font
Medium names (7-8 characters): 16px font
Long names (9 or more characters): 12px font
If a name is longer than the available space, it will be cut off with an ellipsis (…)

Treasure and Gem numbers are set to 12px font, so usernames should never be smaller than those counts.

Based on player feedback, we did switch the username from Mulish font to Verdana. Perhaps you were seeing 12px Mulish text next to 12px Verdana text. Even though the sizes are the same, Mulish does look smaller at the same pixel size.
LaceWhiskey wrote on 2026-04-24 23:12:54:
The icon colours don't match up. The hoard/vault item is noticibly darker than the setting cog

The Hoard and Vault are not fully converted yet. To provide players with basic functionality in all themes, we've gone through the site and added rough theme support. This will result in a few spots where things don't match up yet, but these issues will be resolved when a section is fully converted into a responsive layout.

When I click on the 'toggle text style off or on for this post' button, the background color of the whole post changes to the color it wasn't.

Thank you for the report @Birdsofwax!

For the moment, this is working as expected. We want the paintbrush icon to reformat the forum post (and signature) so it is as readable as possible. That includes reseting the background color to whatever color the theme uses as its primary background color (theme-background-main-1).

That said, this is a bit of a judgement call. Arguably the background color for the post should be reasonably legible. If you believe the paintbrush should not change the background color, feel free to propose that in the Suggestions Forum.

I'm not sure if this is a bug per se, and I unfortunately don't have any screenshots to share, but in Firefox Focus (for smartphones, a separate app from Firefox but made by the same developers), the site appears in the "phone" view when logged out (which is expected). On the login screen in phone view, the navigational bar on the bottom is layered on top of the boxes to fill in a username and password when a phone keyboard is open on the bottom of the screen.

The boxes can still be filled in, and I can still log in properly, but it's more difficult (especially the username box) when I can't see what I'm typing. I can replicate this (and did just now), but obviously I can't replicate it while logged in. This does not happen in tablet view on (checked with the same phone and Firefox Focus).

Thank you for the report @quinnelope!

While it's not exactly a bug, we're evaluating options to improve how the login and registration pages work with the navigation footer.

In the short term, you may find logging in easier if you rotate your phone 90 degrees for just that screen. That'll switch the screen into tablet view, which has no navigation footer.

encountering an issue with inconsistent zoom / page sizing when using desktop layout on a mobile device (safari on ios).

Thank you for the report @Ginkoi.

It looks like the page layout is shorter than expected because ads are not rendering.

We've updated the side banner to permanently take up a set height regardless of whether or not it loads in.

This should reduce some page jumping caused by ad loading and will likely give your pages the expected height to display correctly.

If that is not enough height, let us know and we will apply the same fix to the footer ad. We hope that won't be necessary, though since empty space looks kind of weird and the footer ad probably isn't contributing to page jumping.

Thank you for the report @/Thunder!

There was an HTML rendering issue that has now been fixed which may be related to your report. Can you confirm if the bug remains?

I can tell you that we have not converted Predict Morphology, the Auction House, the Game Database or any part of the site that contains a gene color dropdown yet. If the bug remains, please let us know which page(s) specifically you are checking.

I am still having the issue in the following areas:
  • Dragon customization (skins and apparel)
  • Game database
  • Hoard and Vault
  • Choose Familiar
  • Marketplace (Gem and Treasure)

The issue is not present in the following areas:
  • Auction House
  • Predict Morphology
  • Dressing Room

Thank you for the additional info @Thunder!

We've updated the color select fields so they should once again display colors in the browsers that allow it.

Support for styling select menus is hit-or-miss so it would be helpful if you can confirm if they're now working for you.

You may notice that the color menu does not include the same double arrow symbol found in other select menus. This is intentional as we've learned that adding any custom images to the field breaks color support in the browsers we used for testing.

pinglist related text can't seem to make up its mind and I'm honestly not certain which set of colors are intended/better here (all of this is on the slate theme) - ik part of this was already mentioned earlier in the thread but here's everything I noticed to be on the safe side
- pinglist join widgets along with the create a new pinglist + edit buttons use the link/ping blue on a tan background. not the best readability
- @ pinglist, the unsubscribe button and title text on the pinglists page all use the old dark red. this button looks better than the blue ones above but the red is hard to read on the darker background that the others have
I... really don't know what else to say about this one. would a dark blue be reasonable for the buttons? keep all of those red and make the rest blue? idk I'm just throwing ideas out this time

Thank you for the report @SkyBlaze!

Pages related to viewing/editing/and managing pinglists have been updated to work better with themes.

Forum widgets in general are still a work in progress, but in general we plan for them to match the active theme. That will be completed closer to when the forums are converted to be fully responsive.

When deleting thread subscriptions it doesn't delete just the checked ones and it also puts checks on others after clicking the remove button.

Thank you for the report @WolfTears!

We have not been able to replicate this issue yet. We did clear up some other bugs with the Subscriptions page which may have helped, but we can't say for sure.

When selecting subscriptions, do you see a pattern with which other options are selected? Does clicking one subscription select multiple at once, or is more like a 1-to-1 scramble where clicking OptionA selects only OptionB.

Do you currently have a very large number of subscriptions (more than 1000?) It's possible the form is having issues juggling all the available options.

I noticed this on someone else's forum post, but it seems like text in columns gets cut off on the right hand side. Post for reference: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2865594/1090#post_60611829

Thank you for the report @Santal!

It appears that the example post included a long string of text (Sanddollar/Lapis/Amethyst/Lightning) that could not fit in the remaining column space. As a result, the text spilled out of the column and continued until it ran into the post's edge.

To prevent posts from breaking and cluttering up the forum with long strings, we intentionally hide anything that's about to break out of the post container.

TLDR, this is working as expected.

Thank you for the report @Saraceaser!

It's not clear if this is a bug with the BBCode rendering (there were quite a few big BBCode bugs that have now been fixed) or an issue with the supplied pinglist. I've reviewed the raw BBCode data for the thread you linked. The post text was missing some necessary spaces between pings.

If that's how the post was originally saved, than the missing pings is the correct and expected outcome.

I'm on the most recent version of Firefox, had this show up this way while in tablet display mode.

Thank you for the report @Leopardmask!

This is a built in browser function that is attempting to auto-populate your login.

Different browsers use different logic to identify login fields. Most often, they target fields named "name" or "username". The only control we have over this is to rename the field something else and hope that the browser catches on.

The field you mentioned was named "username_search", which should not have activated Firefox's username field detection. You may be able to "teach" Firefox to stop auto populating that field by following the instructions provided by the browser's developers here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-whether-firefox-automatically-fills-forms (see "Deleting individual form entries")

on the settings page, after checking/unchecking a box, the whole page will flicker/jump. some clicks will also cause other check boxes to flash red even if they were not clicked or previously marked red/on before changing to the correct state. the flickering is similar to videos/gifs that others have posted for other pages.

i believe this may have something to do with the ads on the page as it seems to refresh the ads on the page with every checkbox click.

Thank you for the report @princeteru!

We believe there are a few compounding issues going on.
  1. When the responsive layout first launched, pages did not have a hardcoded background color. So while pages loaded, some browsers would display a white (default color) flicker. This portion of the issue should be fixed.
  2. The primary settings page doesn't have a save button per se. Every change made will save your selection instantly and reload. This save is usually quick and barely noticeable, but item #1 made it very obvious.
  3. While we don't believe ads are the cause this time, you are correct that they could be causing a flicker. So far the primary issues we've seen with ads is auto scrolling and resizing the screen.

In any case, we hope that the problem is largely mitigated by the change made in item #1 above. We will continue to monitor how ads affect site performance and make changes when we can.
