It's the summer of 2014 and we're doing some pretty major overhauls around here. We're working on a light theme for the forums, it will be a much cleaner and simpler look for the place and we think it's a step up. For some other things we wanted to ask you guys for your opinions.

Some things I am thinking about removing:

• "Thank" button and function, most of the time we end up saying thanks anyways.
  
• "Posts: #", "Joined: x", "Thanks: x Given: x" from the right side of the poster header.
  

Please give me your input and let me know what else you would want changed. Thanks.

I would agree about the thanks feature, since we talk about most threads on IRC or just comment.

a breath of fresh air, I like it

Is it suppose to look like that .

looks ok to me

It looks like the background-color is not set so it takes the default background-color of the browser.

We're still looking for a good light background.

Some aspects looks shitty to me:

• GIF icons do not display (I get 404 on everything in http://nixers.net/images)
  
• I can't see the difference between old threads and threads with a new post
  
• There is two "Quote" buttons
  
•  The "NIXERS" link is not displayed if you're not logged in
  
• The eternal problem of images that don't fit the fixed size
  

Otherwise, I like this new theme. It looks more welcoming to me. Will see how it goes on the long term

weird... I'll add support for shitty other browsers later today. What browsers are you guys using?

It seems we have figured out the problem:

User CP > Edit Options > Thread View Options > "View posts in classic mode" should be <font color="red"><b>DISABLED</b></font>

I'll set it up as a default.

hmm, I still need help to find a good tiled light background image

I actually preferred the white background image and slightly darker posts.

Solution: Use a css3-generated background pattern instead of an image. And make it gracefully fall back to a plaincolor background in browsers where css3 isn't implemented.

Edit: Found a perfect site to help with that: http://lea.verou.me/css3patterns/

CSS3 really is amazing.

How come you're not on IRC anymore? :)

The new posts have a distinct color now :)
