New look for the forum
« on: July 22, 2010, 11:51:29 PM »
Everything is too big, and too bright, and there's all these new icons and pictures and transperencies and things.  It's like those new-fangled twatters and blogospheres and facenovels and things.  Where am I?  Where are my glasses?  And get the hell off my lawn!





Actually, pretty cool.  Got a bit of a surprise seeing my avatar near the top.  What's with that 'Simple Machines Forum' thing on the right though?

Simple Machines is the name of the forum code we're using. When I find a way to remove that, it'll be gone.

Like all things that change, it will take some getting used to.

But yes, it is quite pretty.  Nice job.

That gray thing we were using before was only meant to ever be a placeholder theme anyway. You can call it the Beta theme, I guess.

Now I need a banner for the top. Hmmmmm.....

Yeah, thats about all I can see.  Although I didn't mind the old lay out it wasn't too hard on the eyes.

I just noticed that you can adjust the size of the boards at the top of the screen where it says 'Small', 'Medium', 'Large'.  I was sitting here scrolling to the right and back to read posts...hehe.


I like the new look, though I do agree that a banner is needed.  :)

Yeah, the variable size feature is a new addition with this layout. makes the boards small and large resolution friendly. :)
