Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii! Congratulations Sp3ctre... :thumbsup:

Cheers mate... a few bits and bobs to iron out here and there, but at least it seems to have worked... :D
 
Thought my browser was messed up at first. Gonna have to replace my monitor finally because this color scheme and the crappy white balance on my Benq monitor kills my eyes. Been planning on this, now i'll act.

Also, i'm missing the "Next Older Topic/Next Newer Topic button". When I start reading, I start and the top and work down until i've seen everything new to me.

Sorry Yal, not sure what button you are referring to, and I don't have the v2 board available anymore to check.... please can you explain which button you mean, and where it was?
 
I was sorta used to the old way. The new V3 looks pretty but I have to be honest my fearless leader - I for one one liked the old version..... :cry:

Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to... I have modded it to be as much like the old one as possible, but it's a very different beast so some change is inevitable. We did need to move to v3 though for lots of reasons, mainly behind the scenes stuff.

If there is anything in particular that people don't like then I am (as always) open to suggestion of how you guys want it to work. That's the beauty of these forums... they are quite easy to mod, so we can tweak whatever we like :D

... the default for this theme is the avatar on the right and the posts on the left..... was pretty sure most people wouldn't like that, so I altered it so it's like the old board.

So, let me know how you would like me to improve it... but staying on v2 was never an option, even from a basic security point of view.
 
it will be great!
but is it possible to make it more clearer when a tread ha new posts, now it just a tine icon that show it?!
 
We lost our flags!

One more thing: is it possible to have the "Quick Reply" available at the bottom of threads? That's gone too.

hehe, you never had flags :D (that's a mod I wanted to do, but was waiting for v3)

Quick reply will be coming soon... just need to find one that wont break when we upgrade to gold... will see what I can do this evening.

mmm, the main icon is faded out more when the thread is "read"... I wonder if there is not enough contrast between the two?

We never had flags? Really? Hmmm. I guess I'm used to the old zpost & z4um still. Well if you can get those flags on there, that would be great! Gives it some more international flare!

Yes I completely agree, I love that feature... especially now we have members from all over the world! :D
 
Issues that i'm running into. If i click on the name of a topic that has multiple pages, I seem to be only able to see the last page. If I click on the "page" icon for the first page, I see the second page. I'll clear my cookies in a minute. ##### Working Now######

The other item was, when you're in a thread, at the top right of the first entry in the thread, there was a link that you could click on to go to the next older or next newer thread.

You can see such an example here: http://getalife.llamasonfire.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=369

Yes I think the contrast of most of the thread icons are too soft it needs to be more defined :)

I faded them so the "unread" ones stand out more... on reflection maybe I'll go for a different colour... mmm. Gonna take a while though... need more :coffee:
 
Interesting new look - I got up this morning and wondered for a second if I had brought up the wrong bookmark :roll:

Looks nice from what I can see so far. :thumbsup:

I do have one request however - we used to get a navigation line at both the top and bottom of the page allowing us to go back to the top level of the current forum as well as the rest of the tree. We do now have that at the top but not the bottom of the page. I had gotten used to being able to jump back to all levels after reading a post and now we have to scroll back to the top for this option. Any way we can have the whole set of links on both places again?
