I like it!!  And you know I like the smilies!!   
And the database was carried over so we don't have to rejoin, get to keep our post count, and don't have to start completely from scratch.  Best of all worlds!!

I've poked in the SMF theme engine, and it requires a little bit of PHPing to do that. Hopefully our forum-themer knows how!

I spent a good share of time PHP coding/forum theming for a Diablo II/Blizzard clan back in the day.

So. . .
It shouldn't be too hard.Ā 
I'd actually like to see what y'all come up with.

Okay, one more minor thing, then I'm done, really.

Umm, is there an option to set how many posts to display per page like in the old forum?  Maybe I'm just being blind and not seeing it under the options?  If it's not currently available, you think it could be?  I really liked having the 40 posts per page thing like I could on the old forums.  But still, this new one kicks major arse none the less.

I like how many options there are to play with. The new added smileys are nice. I know it'll take some people a while to get used to but eventually even they will warm up to this new forum.

Replacing this...

Code: [Select]

.smalltext
{
font-size: x-small;
font-family: Tahoma, arial, helvetica, serif;
}...with this...

Code: [Select]

.smalltext {
font: 0.75em tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}...would fix a browser discrepancy:

That sort of font sizing isn't always so hot.*

Can we have a "posts in the last 24 hours" like on the other forum?

Yes I do see "Show unread posts since last visit" and "Show new replies to your posts", but if I have read all the ".. posts since last visit" and want to revisit one of them I cant see a nice fast way like the "24 hours" button in the other forumĀ

New forums are very good! Smileys ruleeez-

[LigH]

The best smilies I know:

or

http://www.cheesebuerger.de/smilie.php

They have a style I could enjoy for hours...

It seems that even if people do like this new forum, some of them really hate the default theme. I've been concentrating on the PS website for now, so it may be a while before I get to playing with the forum, considering I have some commercial projects I have to work on as well. However, I made this quickie theme, which may be more pleasant for some people. It's nothing major, just a . CSS modification, and a few trivial "graphics" that should replace the default ones. I didn't edit any buttons and majority of the graphics. Here's the link:

Quick Theme

Some of the default buttons/graphics won't quite be in "harmony" with this theme but it may still be better overall and keep the angry anti-default folk happy here. 

Try it out.

How exactly are people supposed to use this theme? o.O

looks like something Talad would have to install.

Heh no, obviously I meant that Talad or acraig would have to install it. Just use admin panel to "copy default theme", it will create two .php and one .css file. Replace .css with mine, replace the default filenames with the modified "graphics". The filenames are identical.

You guys have to promise you'll keep the recent thread device up, and all the smilies visible above the chat box. Both are really great.

[Mordaan]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but I like the whole "total time logged in"   

[lanser]

Just a quick query with the new forum do we have a new Mod (Santiago) or an old one with a new name? If a new one then I would hope it would be someone with more than 1 post to their name
