Forum is gonna look a bit different for a while

[Titan]

 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

[Paul2]

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.   

[Titan]

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?

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

I personally prefer it black, easier on the eyes.

[Kurt Angle]

Dark themes FTW 

[Paul2]

count me in.  me three.

[Titan]

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. 

Thumbs up from me.

[Paul2]

much better with the dark theme. i like that you can switch between light and dark theme.

[Titan]

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?
