Is there any way to alter things like the color scheme? The glaring white on a lot of the pages is kind of hard on the eyes after a while. Also, it is a pretty minor issue, but is there a way to switch the post info from the right side of the posts to the left... I know it is no big deal but it kinda feels weir.

Sorry for complaining and all. It's not that I don't like the new forum, there are more options, new features and all that outnumber the bad. I just though it might be worth mentioning the bad and just getting it over with.

nem is working on some themes for the site so everything will get some colours eventually. give him some time ;). I personally like the acid tech and subsilver theme that you can choose from your user control panel best..


btw. where's that new yesterday, new today (members) feature? I really liked seeing the influx of people right at hand.. ;)
also, the staff room posts should always have a "no new post" sign at left hand side for the regular user, cause I can't read it and the yellow new post reminder nags me in the long run ;).
lastly, can we remove that "successfully logged-in"-page? it's naggin me too you know ;) :lol:

Looks nice!
Only white color isn' t fitting right maybe light blue is better choice? Overall very neat and nice, good job Nemitor :wink:

I installed a few themes in case you didn't like the default. Read the FAQ I posted above.

My current theme has the user info on the left, since I don't like it on the right, for example.

mal - I'll see if I can get the new stats back, I'll try to get auto redirect for the login (or you can just always stay logged in).

i hate cookies :lol:

seriously i usually switch them off and browse without some 4kb file watching me.
but anyway, nicely done, the new forum here. nicely done..

P.S.: who's that germanp and those 2 other members that seemingly joined the board before its existence in year 1999? ;)

also, can you make those google bot invisible resp. hidden?

New theme up for those that would like another dark theme.

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
yeah, sfcentar is even better! if we could only make a dominion skin out of it by exchanging that sf centar logo with BOTF2 insignias and a nice dominion emblem.

http://www.sfcentar.com/testich/styles/ ... ace118.gif is a broken picture link..

those ones from razor perhaps? (he's just begun doing some dominion graphics a couple of days ago so he might update the botf2.com skins->dominion folder in the near future)

could be difficult to lay it smoothly over the heavily integrated sf centar emblem above. also there's this pic missin in the first line like i mentioned above.

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
i keep forgetting about sharepoint :cry:

Now we just need a background. That large image there confuses me though.

Also, the SFCentar emblem can be completely removed, replaced, etc.

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
the above image (the third) is just a sketch by razor. hm I don't know if I can provide any fancy large backgrounds with nebulas and stuff but you might have a look here:

we're entitled to use these pics as long as credits are applied where they need to! pics are from talented guys over at trekmeshes.ch!

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
That was fast. You really want this theme, dont you :wink:

--

Done. You have your edited, credited, image, the table resized to fit, and that dead url removed.

I'll add some emblems and a fancy "Birth of the Federation II" title once I get home from work tonight (or maybe tomorrow)

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
good.
since the pic only show the galaxy, you might remove the nebula and starbase part in the credits if you want. derek brealey of course should stay as author of the pic.
btw. do we get our former news-front-page back? if so, we could use alternating pics like the ones above as dynamic background (with a little transparency effect of course). there are tons of it more on sharepoint in that same folder..

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
Don't worry Mal, we will be a getting a news page of some kind in the future, but there are tons of things to be done with the forums yet so it will likely be a few weeks before everything is as should be. Our current priority is sorting out the horrible themes and making the forums more Trek like. Once that is done, we can focus on news pages, coppermine, and a download section. :wink:

...

Hehe i've seen all those pictures before. I love Trekmshes. Great site for desktop backgrounds. :mrgreen:

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
yeah.

now imagine we can make such quality pics too out of our engine once she's ready an' runnin ;)
Author:  Malvoisin [ 30 Oct 2007, 12:45 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
btw. will there be a poll later on when all themes are ready where we can opt for the best one to show as default guest theme?

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
Depends, it will most likely be a staff decision i think tho.
Author:  Matress_of_evil [ 30 Oct 2007, 13:11 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
Yeah, it probably will be a staff decision, but if anyone wants a specific theme, then all they have to do is send the link for that theme to Nemitor and he will see if he can install it for you. Not many people have sent him suggestions yet, which is why there are so few.
Author:  skeeter [ 30 Oct 2007, 15:10 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
Also were still testing themes, and probably wont have more than 6 themes to choose from, but dont worry we should have a dedicated trek theme similar to the old botf 2 site had, and some other nice ones. Depending on time and availability.

okay, i hope no one forgets about this either :idea: :

;)

btw. there's a small glitch in the graphics above (sf centar theme). you can see it if you look closely on the left hand side. one needs to brush over that black thing in order to remove that "thing".

Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
If it's not too much trouble could a version of the SFCentuar be made that has the poster information on the left side of the screen? For some reason it feels weird looking for the information on the right.
Author:  Malvoisin [ 30 Oct 2007, 19:43 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
seconded. though i must say i'm getting slowly accustomed to it ;).
Author:  skeeter [ 30 Oct 2007, 20:40 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
Yeah we are working on this as nem hates it on the right like me but strangly im getting used to it a bit now.
Author:  Malvoisin [ 30 Oct 2007, 20:59 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
it must be cause one starts reading text from the left so it seems kinda normal for us to look there. bet i feel a little de-accustomed when it gets back the usual way again ;).
Author:  Nemitor_Atimen [ 30 Oct 2007, 21:21 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
I hate it on the right. It drives me insane. For that reason I'm using Acid, since it has it on the left.

I am working quite hard on putting it on the left, shoudl have it there soon.
Author:  FoxURA [ 30 Oct 2007, 21:30 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
Glad to hear it. Keep up the good work!
Author:  Nemitor_Atimen [ 30 Oct 2007, 21:41 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
probl@ck is now on the left :D

I'll have sfcentar done soon.

--

sfcentar is done, although having it on the left seems to take up more space than usual. Meh, I'll handle it later.
Author:  Matress_of_evil [ 30 Oct 2007, 22:38 ]
Post subject:  Re: Board Layout Customization
Nem, why does acidtech only take up part of the screen when the other themes are full screen? Big empty spaces are taking up the left and right of the screen. It's better that way when your looking at the board index, but is annoying when you're looking at posts, especially if those posts have images in them. Any images that are larger than the posts are put into scrollboxes. It's annoying, but acidtech is definitely still my favourite theme.
