Happy Easter all! I'm aware of the "new look" of the forum right now. We just had a major update done that appears to have changed some things. Not to worry. I'll work on it this week to get things changed back to where they need to be changed. Also since I'm furloughed and have the time, I'm planning on changing the look of the site a bit. Hang tight! I can't look at things today (on my phone and out of the house for the day) but I'll check things out tomorrow :)
-
I just logged on and WHOAAH! but the main thing is we are now on the latest software :D
-
good to know we are getting forums update or overhaul. i don't mind waiting till we get back to the old look. so take your time titan.
-
I just removed a crap load of spammed topics.
-
Yeah. I removed a couple myself too. The person I hired to fix and update the site did warn me that if the install was too broken, they would have to do a fresh install. It appears that was indeed the case (it was really really broken lol). If you see spam, just delete it. I'm working on getting the antispam back up today at the very least. I probably should have screen shotted all our mods lol. But hey, this gives a great opportunity for a blank slate :)
EDIT: I installed a new spam filter that's compatible with the new forum version. Any issues with spam, PM or email me :) Now onto fixing other things, like the smilies lol

Looks awful!
I miss the old style. Very 2000ish

This is the default theme. It is pretty awful. Unfortunately we can't use the old one anymore. Over time it became very incompatible with the site. But there's some really cool new ones out there that work a lot better. I'm going to be looking extensively at new ones. Definitely looking for one that works well on mobile devices. That's kind of a requirement today.
In the meantime, what do you guys want to see in a new theme for the forum?
-
I personally prefer it black, easier on the eyes.
-
Dark themes FTW :thumbsup:
-
count me in. me three.
-
Haha. I guess I'm the only one who prefers a lighter theme. But I found this theme. It's free and supposedly should work fine on mobile (claims it's adaptive. Worst case, I still have the files for the old mobile theme). Let me know what you guys think. It has a button on the right hand side to tobble between a light and dark theme so you can choose what you want. Think it's a good middle ground and I'm sure I can manipulate the colors as needed. I also like the simplistic design. If you like it, I'll try to get this up this week.
Here's a demo you can play with

Thats actually a nice theme and with the switch toggle you can choose to have the lights on or off. B)
Thumbs up from me.
-
much better with the dark theme. i like that you can switch between light and dark theme. :)
-
I made some progress on the theme tonight. Got some work to still do so hang tight guys! I'm shooting for the end of this week but may take longer.
I'm actually posting and browsing the forum on it right now looking for weirdness and glitches. Found a few that may take me time to figure out. I'm liking it so far though. And I'm using the dark theme you guys seem to like so much. I have the light theme good enough :) I'll look into seeing if I can set specific people on it so if anyone wants to beta test it with me, that'd be awesome :)
-
How do you switch themes?

How do you switch themes?
You can't yet as a user :) I'm still working on it. There's a couple hiccups I'm trying to work through and they bother me enough for me to not launch it yet. But I do admit Kurt and I are beta testing it and it's overall pretty sweet :3some You wanna beta test it? I can set you to it. Only catch is you have to give feedback and let me know if you find any glitches B)
-
I have to do something then?
Pass.
I'll live with the new theme. Feels like a boring afterlife.
-
The new theme has been assigned to everyone. I'd say it's at 98% with a couple minor details that may have been missed. If you see anything that needs fixing or have any suggestions, please send a PM or reply in one of the theme threads, or make a new thread in Suggestions or whatever :) Any questions, let me or Kurt know. Enjoy!

Dont like how the posts are arranged.
-
thank you titan. i like that i can switch to dark theme and its much better now. easier on the eyes.
oh jumpman, you can toggle to dark theme on the switch on the upper right hand side corner of the forums.
-

Specifics? I mean, they go in order of when they were posted like any other time :D
-
i have a suggestion. how about make a link to all new unread posts for the entire forums instead of just section of the forums like how the old forums were.

If you click your name in the upper right hand corner, it'll make a drop down menu. You can click it there :) For me to add in just a link would likely require me to rewrite the whole theme. What I can look into is making it so the drop down appears when you hover over it instead of clicking on it :)
-
thank you titan for showing me to click on my name in the upper right hand corner of the forum to show recent unread topics. now i can use it to make it more convenient than clicking on the unread posts of each sections.
if you could, you can make the drop down menu appears when you hover it. take your time. i don't mind waiting as i can click on my name for it to appears which is already very convenient. B)

Yeah. It's a learning curve I guess. All the features of the old theme should be there. Just a matter of getting used to the new layout :)
-
that's a lot of white.
-
welcome back cerberus. i just toggled the switch and now i realize the board is whiter than the previous time i toggled it. you can switch to dark theme by toggling the switch on the upper right hand side of the forum.
btw, i made a birthday thread for you late last year. hopefully you can visit it and chime in.
-

Click the toggle button below the banner. Wish I could add text and an arrow to it to click there for dark lol.
-
I was like....hmmm...I wonder if PSX2Central is still around. So I searched. Zip. Tried PSX3Central. Then 4....nothing. Added "forum" and BAM! FOUND YOU GUYS! :bounce:
-
I still get kicked out of the thread I just posted in.
-
Update those bookmarks lol. Plus, I'm pretty sure you've been here when it was PSX4Central. I have a redirect now. But yeah. I got laid off like 7 months ago and redesigned the site. You can also switch between light and dark themes which is cool. There's a button below the banner.
I've always hated that it kicks you out of the thread. But that's how the forum software works. I don't know of a workaround.
