Major forum update

[MadManCK]

Nice, looking forward to the results. Lots of work ahead.

It'll be interesting, but imo. the dark style used now is the best i've seen so far, it just seems right

Hopefully the new one will be good as well, and the keep the good navigation (leftside menu) that we're used to by now

Good luck with to the installation

The new style will also be dark like this one but it also comes in a light style as well.
I may or may not use the light style as a second choice for members at a later date but at the moment I have to much to do to start working on another style so just the dark for now.

I also like the style used now unfortunately it is not compatible with the new update.

This is the basic design I have been working from:

Ant this is an early version of what I am creating from that:

If all goes to plan I will start the update on Thursday sometime.

Ok so main part of the update is done.
As I said before this theme may or may not be permanent depending on how it pans out.

Lots of things to like about this theme but also one or two things I am not keen on and may change as we go along.
I have also added a few new Extensions (Mod's) and lots more on the way as and when they are ready. Will post details of new Extensions in the General Help & support section.

Things that have gone:
The portal has now gone (it isn't needed as I will now just add blocks as we need them and I will also be creating new pages with new content from dropdown links in the head of the forum index page.
Image re-sizing (still waiting for the new Extensions to be finished)
Factions Icons (may or may not comeback)
Also the Who is online that shows members that have been on the forum today Extensions is not ready yet.
Chat box (may come back later)
Various other minor add-ons.
At the moment I am unable to give members more than one rank badge (this is why Fulysic dose not have a Moderator badge because he already has a Supporter badge) I am working on this problem.
Some of these will be coming back as new Extensions along with totally new Extensions when they are ready.

Still have some small bits to do as I go along but for the most part the forum is useable but if you find any errors or something I have missed then please report them here.
I would also appreciate any constructive feedback on the new forum/style good or bad so long as it is not just someone whining about nothing.

It's gonna take a while until I get used with the new forum layout...

Gonna have to get used with all the pink... >.<

[MadManCK]

Much better readable IMO.

Glad it works properly. Well done !!

PS Maybe that pink can indeed be changed later for a different color

Yes I agree, I have had some difficulty deciding on the colour scheme I will give a few more colours a try and see what works best.
You also may of noticed (Unlike the old forum) once you have clicked on a link anywhere on the forum it will change colour until something new is posted on that link, this makes it more easier to notice new stuff.

I also need some ideas for adding stuff to the side tabs, I'm open to suggestions.

Members now also have a star in his/her profile to represent how many years of membership they have.

Lol, the Blue* is completely unreadable on my TV screen

But the layout seems to be OK

*maybe change it for a lighter color. Works best with the dark background anyway
