WARNING OF FORUM UPDATE

<< < (10/14) > >>

pwhodges:
In fact, it's no longer fixed width, though it has a fairly wide minimum width - I went with the change that was suggested earlier.

I'm glad people like the theme - although I ran it past the other mods, it was essentially my own decision to go with it.  Also, Jeph felt no particular attachment to the old theme and so just let me go ahead. 

I had originally intended just to replicate the old theme, but when I had reached the point that the QC-old theme is now at, I realised that there were things missing that would be a huge amount of work to put right.  That was the result of a poor choice, basing the theme on one that was developed for a release candidate version of the new software - I just hadn't realised how much more had changed in places that affected the theme (that's why the stuff at the top of that theme can't be folded away, for instance).  So I looked again specifically at themes that were up to date, and this caught my eye, not least for the use of the orange which links up nicely with the logo.

Yeah, I've since realised that, and coupled with my mostly nighttime use of these forums, f.lux wasn't helping at all :D

Maybe Dimmer will? It's not as convenient as f.lux switching itself on and off, but is easily managed as a taskbar shortcut.

Oh, okay, embedding URL's manually suddenly became a whole lot harder. Or... no, that's just the WYSIWYG editor - whatever that is.

The only thing that is a bit of a problem is that on the main index page, the "209,259 Posts 4,958 Topics" info for each page goes onto four lines, which means that the page is very long. I only have a tiny little laptop screen so I have to scroll down to get to Discuss. Not a huge issue but would it be possible to make the posts/topics box slightly wider please?

Ah, I just noticed I'm getting the same thing (on a screen twice as big) but this appears to be caused by the Last Post box not filling the excess space, and possibly also the big orange New Posts button being larger.

This is interesting...

Barmymoo:
This may be something that I could very easily change myself if I had any brains but the font seems to be supertiny on QC-old. Not the font in the reply box, but all the other font.
