New look coming soon

Hi guys and gals. Once again we have to keep up with the times and update the theme the forum uses to keep up with the underlying software.

This is a slight pain as I have to find a theme I'm happy with the overall look of and then tweak it for our purposes.

So while I sort it out things may look glitchy or weird but all the same information is still there. I'll keep the current look in between testing until the new one is ready.

The new look is here!

It's not quite perfect, but very much good enough, and will now have all the options on mobile web that were lost with the previous style.

Enjoy!

Hey, this is a surprise and a nice improvement! It actually clears up two things I've been meaning to ask about:

1) the spacing of the reply when quoting someone -- first line used to be too close to the quote (I'd often add a return to space them out), and now it's great

2) I wasn't seeing screen names by the quoted content, so it was tough to tell who said what sometimes -- that's fixed too.

Love it!

Yeah, the old style was cool and I liked it but it wasn't being kept up to date with software changes, so here we are!

Takes a bit to find a base style and then mod it for our pink needs, but still keeping it classy! There is such a thing as too much pink.

It really looks good. Now we just need to get you down here for the holidays. Special things in the works. :D

Things are looking better again even since this morning (my time). Just one coloured area I need to change and to work out why the mobile version looks so different to before, but it does now show all the settings and logon/off etc.

Thanks, glad you like it. I fixed the colour issue I was talking about and now to tackle the mobile site. It looks great on the desktop and ok on mobile. Hopefully have that sorted soon too and the transition will be complete!

Ha ha, I'm not satisfied yet, but thanks man.

It's a bit of a pain but I guess it's good to need to do it now and then.

Playing around I seem to have killed support for youtube videos. I'll have to see what's up tomorrow. Bugger.

Fixed the Youtube video problem, but still looking to see if there is a better way.
