Posted October 26, 2011 If you really cant get on with the new layout, you do have the option of using the default SMF theme instead. Is there also a way of turning it back to how it was? kinda a downgrade of that version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 I like it, mostly. I find it hard distinguish between posts at a glance though, there should be a border around them. Something like this: http://i.imgur.com/41hd5.png Edit - thanks, looks much better now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 Tone down the brightness a little bit and think about redoing the top banner and I think I could get pleasantly used to this layout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 Wow, this is kind of too bright. The main thing that confuses me the most is that all of the posts look like quotes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 26, 2011 It's a lot better since the line between posts was added, i kinda like it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 A quick note to thank Tealc He researched the upgrade and worked out where the problems were. Consequently it went pretty well - baring a few heart stopping time outs from the server!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 I'm not sure on how to tell what posts are new in a subsection am i missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 The moment I saw how to change away from this theme I have - the 'SMF Default Theme - Curve' is I'm sorry, but 1000x better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 Something else to note - unless it's just me, my default language was automatically set to Albanian, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 I hate to hate, but I hate it. That other theme is no use either, need something black (although the brightness just now isn't bad). The post boxes look like quotes. I like the menus Is there not a library of themes you can upload so folk can choose between a few? [EDIT] like this one: http://www.burnmind.com/smf/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 I am sure we will make minor adjustments to this theme over time. In the meantime this is far superior to what we were using, and I am sure most of us could use the tan. I am pleased with the changeover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 Matter of opinion. Also, what happened to the Wild server section linking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 I just want a black background, because this is too bright. Everything else is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 Wild server linking is still in place. Wild names will be readded by us, though all the other names will likely require readding by the account owners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 26, 2011 Also there are a lot more new things than just the theme, one being buddy lists.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 26, 2011 Don't forget the ignore lists too Tealc...lots of trolls are going to find their effectiveness neutered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 Wow, this is kind of too bright. The main thing that confuses me the most is that all of the posts look like quotes. Yeah my brain keeps telling me to look under the quote for the message. I think from a visual aspect the website now looks good but from a practical side not having a dark background makes for tough reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 I don't really like it. I don't like the box around the posts because everything looks like a quote and the brightness is hard to navigate for me. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 MY EYESSSS. Text is quite hard to read it's almost blending. At who's online section, some dev? cm? gm? have really bright blue that is blending with bg. Can read it only after selecting it with block. Holes in forum-section font should be there? I see few and it looks like it's scaling bad. New-post image doesn't load/exist. Time to search for default theme button.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 It would be nice to have the text like the title is in the same color then use the text box now for the quote color..IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 I can live with the pink-ish color of the forum, as it seems we get an ./ignore funcktion? But I reading fight logs and char-dumps is quite hard on the eyes with such a bright back ground color. http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=65101.0 http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=57186.1050 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2011 I think overall it is a improvement but there are some parts of it that are bad. The two parts that I imagine would be easy to change is the black text on the wood background where it has topic titles and whatnot, it just looks out of place and it's hard to read, and also the radioactive blue that 'people of power' seem to have when they are on the 'who is online' list, moderators and whatnot. But the one thing that is very irritating is how every post sortof implies it is a quote, maybe it's just because I'm used to the generic SMF layout, and pretty much every generic layout (phpbb and Vbulletin for example) but I think it would work alot better if there was not that teal/green/whatever box where people post, just have it the cream or whatever color. Instead I'd use the green/teal color used in the whole post for quotes, as the light blue currently used for quotes is a bit much. Outside of that, it's just a few minor things, for example the top right has 'Do NOT give others your character password' in bright red on a cream background... yuck! Again thou, massive improvement imho - just a few things I noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
