New Forum Settings...

Post by Marcus Bone »

Hi All,

I hope you like the general style of the new forums. I still have quite a bit of work to do (from new icons on topics, through to making the test in the signatures smaller - and maybe the font colour of links etc.)

If there is anything you would like to see changed, please add it to this topic and I'll see what I can do!

Marcus

P.S. RIP the old template for I loved you well - shame you were no longer compatible will phpBB - especially when allowing new members to join!

Hi All,

I'm creating a list of things thay likely need to be changed in this forum style. Happy to have others add to the list and give feedback on the suggested changes.
  • Signature text size (it is way too big in my opinion)
  • Smaller Topic Headings size (in the individual topics)
  • Colour of the sub-forum headers (the blue doesn't do it for me)
  • The topic icons (the 'read' icon - the shaded out version doesn't do 'it' for me, and both versions need better alignment in the circle).
  • The 'quote' text format (I'll have a play with this and see what I can do to indent it or put in a box)
This list will be added to and modified as progress - slowly - continues. Feel free to shout if I do something too weird!

Hi All,

I finally got around to hacking the style sheet code on this forum.

I think things are a little better in regards to reading (although those damn blockquotes are still a hassle!).

If you've got anything that annoys you, or you'd like to see done to the site, just holler!
