Now that Glode has spent his day fixing the style to match more of the old style (thanks Glode!) let's make a list of things that still need to be changed that may have been missed. Or just things you'd like to see differently. Again, after we have this straightened out, we'll be able to start adding our old and some new modifications back.

We left it the way it was before to see if some things would like to be kept. But we'll have most of everything back to normal and it'll all be stable and ready to upgrade when needed :D

Thanks!

Emm, Simon's Pure... Most of those have already been fixed quite a while ago :?

Besides, I'm still not done.

Did you see the red one it replaced? and anyway, that image is the old one from the original site.

And for you all still suffering problems, clear your cache. who knows what it will look like after that!

Please change the report post button. Something like this would fit better:

Image



the smilies should be organized in 4x4 (or something close to that)
the forum index font should go back to verdana or times or whatever it was
the "new post - no new posts - locked forum" legend at the bottom of the index needs to be centered (FF problem)
Maybe we could replace the stars with something a little easier on the eyes... Like this: Image or Image or just get rid of them.
Theres an unnecessary amount of space on the edge of the forum index showing the wood and rock texture. Maybe we can widen the index a bit?

I'll go hunt around for other minor problems ^.^


edit: sorry, thanks king ^_^; ill remove the problems that have been fixed.

edit2: done.

When viewing a forum, the Replies column is too dark. Should be the same as the Topics column and Last Post column.

If I recall correctly, that dark texture was used for the "Author" section in phpbb2, and since every author is either a light tan color or a colored name, it may look nice :D And I think it would make the normal user names easier to read (in fact that was probably the reason for it in phpbb2...)

Swap the colours for author and replies columns over basically.

Also, kudos on the posting theme, it looks better than before all this kerfuffle.

EDIT: That's fine :)

Has anyone else noticed that every other post is a different colour? Kind of like that.

You've done a great job, well done Glode! Didn't like RV earlier today, but I can't really find fault with it anymore (at the moment, haha). I suppose something might come up, but the only thing I can say at the moment is that the report button is too small, but I'll manage. I suppose it's less obtrusive.

Edit: Very bottom of the page, the bit where it shows what the forum icons mean - could a border be added?

2 things, but you know about them anyway.

Profile input fields in the ACP need the darker parchment background.
The forum permissions at the bottom of the page need either a different font colour or a parchgment background. either will suffice.

It's always been like that :-s

Also, has there always been a limit on how many quotes we can embed?

Technically only from bb3 have we had a limit, cause one crashed the page in the legends forum a while back.
