Hello everyone, we're pushing our 2.3.7 updates out today. Once you receive the email, you'll be able to download it immediately with an active license via your purchase area. This is a long overdue update. My hopes of seeing 2.3.8 out sooner to address some issues did not happen, so here we are. You can read more about the XenForo release here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-2-3-7-released-includes-security-fixes.232121/

- New
- Added Bluesky social media
- Updated variation option in header to a multiple choice style property:
- Disable
- Menu (just like it has been showing System/Light/Dark)
- Toggle (rotates directly between light/dark)
- Added footer column setup for mobile. You can now easily style the mobile view of the custom footer to:
- Single column
- First row full width, rest dual column (good for blocks that use logo + description)
- Dual column
- Added a commenting system to xb_custom_style.less - All custom clients will have this shown up as outdated but you can simply click "SAVE AND EXIT" on it (or merge it)
- Added mobile bar for guests
- Changes
- Changed footer padding to match the "pageEdgeSpacer". This will align the footer closer with the main body content, especially when paddings are increased.
- Updated X (Twitter) social media icon code (using XenForo's new FA code for it)
- Deleted "Default REM Font Size (px)" property and switching to the font-size 62.5% method. This will make it easier for everyone to use REM font sizes as they convert easier: 15px = 1.5rem, 16px = 1.6rem and so on
- Added default button CSS to pull the actual button colors when inside the header. XenForo makes it so all links inherit the header color, even buttons
- Re-worked the calculation on when to hide the page width toggle. Will now hide sooner as it didn't do anything for smaller screens
- Changed Thread Starter background color to use "@xf-paletteAccent1" (old was using "@xf-textColorAttention"). The text color will now simply contrast @xf-paletteAccent1 to work across all
- Completely reworked our custom search option as it wasn't working with the similar threads feature in Elastic Search (this was a big change in the code for this specific macro.
- Updated question/suggestion/article node icons to make it easier to change them
- Updated HTML for unread conversations/alerts on the mobile bar
- Removed "xbREMDefault" property
- Switched REM default font size to utilize the 62.5% method (so that 1.5rem = 15px, 1.6rem = 16px and so on
- Fixed height is not set when using sticky staff bar
- Fixed margin-left on logo inside of navigation always being there even on mobile
- Fixes
- Fixed mobile bar "custom button 1/2/3" - These were not loading the custom buttons from the templates
- Mobile logo option was not working with canvas mode, will now show on small screens
- Mobile logo option was not working with keeping the logo in the header area
- Canvas toggle buttons utilize the normal trigger HTML and now have custom classes as they were being hidden before
- Fixed conversation spacing when message-header was enabled
- Post thread button had incorrect class name in the mobile bar
- Deleted xb_search template (hasn't been used in years)
- Fixed node stats column when set to 0px would break on "Watched Forums"
- Hid FA icons in navigation dropdown menus if main items would be moved to a child location (What's New under Forums as an example)
- Reactions popup on mobile wouldn't load sometimes if the mobile bar was enabled (body position: relative was preventing tooltips)
- Updated post_macro template
- Fixed action buttons in canvas mode (was applying extra padding to icons for new posts + post thread)
- Fixed class for post thread mobile button from mobile-buttons--accountdetails to mobile-buttons--createThread
- Fixed border-radius and border-width for block headers when using node-spacer
- Style specific changes
- Evolve:
- Redid CSS for buttons in page-header. Easy to adjust height by using padding-top/bottom and no longer breaks on mobile.
- Adjusted footer background on mobile
- Adjusted content highlight color, unread alerts/convos and other menu items should no longer clash on colors
