Topic: A strange question I have about the post searchbar

Posted under General

So. Let's just start off by saying yes, I use websites on my Apple Watch and have been for years, but that's not something we need to discuss.

I've noticed that a LOT of websites nowadays are using a slightly different type of text input box, which unfortunately Apple Watch can't edit for some reason (inputting text using its keyboard doesn't update the input box), and e6 is no exception. Creating new forum posts, creating new comments/forum replies (WITHOUT replying to another one), editing wiki pages, and editing settings boxes have all been impossible for a long time now (which I was fine with), but the last mobile UI update has made the POST SEARCH BAR impossible to edit. Now. Two things. 1, why? And 2, is there a custom CSS I can use to change these input boxes back?

this is kind of a longshot, but does textarea { resize: none; } fix it?

Nope. Actually doesn't seem to do anything, and also the UI update made the search 🔎 button white instead of blue so I was worried it didn't exist at all for a bit

all that resize: none; should do is remove the little triangle at the bottom right of some text boxes that you can click and drag to resize it on desktop. my thought was that the clickbox of that thing was interfering with trying to click the box itself.

It's not that I can't click it, it's that I can't CHANGE what's on it

Thanks for the info, I had wanted to query the Apple watch guy if it was white for em too
Seems to be white for anyone using an apple device of any sort

Here's a fix

/*making post search magnifying glass visible*/
.fa-magnifying-glass { color: #e8c446 }
.fa-magnifying-glass { --glass-stroke: #303080; /*<- stroke color*/
text-shadow: -.67px -.67px 0 var(--glass-stroke), -.94px 0 0 var(--glass-stroke), -.67px .67px 0 var(--glass-stroke), 0 .94px 0 var(--glass-stroke), .67px .67px 0 var(--glass-stroke), .94px 0 0 var(--glass-stroke), .67px -.67px 0 var(--glass-stroke), 0 -.94px 0 var(--glass-stroke); }

Thanks, this does make it more visible (doesn’t really fix the primary issue here tho, I found out that Cinder changed the search bar element type which could be causing the issue)

Uh I don't think that'll be fixable with css unfortunately
