Update Forum Software?

[admin]

OK, just added a new style that replicates subsilver as good as it can: AllanStyle-SUBSILVER

[highend]

Fonts (everything that's a link) look blurry in that theme. FF 50.0

[admin]

Better now?

[highend]

Regarding the blurriness? Fixed. Regarding functionality? Em, no
Can't comment if it's now easier for people who are colorblind...

[RalphM]

Let me answer the part re "colorblind" since I brought it up:
a) Yes, it is much better now in the forum overview:

b) And yes, also slightly better in the the sub-forums to see new (unread) stuff, the smaller icons make it a bit harder again.

If I recall correctly, the old subsilver theme had a separate column for the "new posts"-icon which is now displayed inline at the beginning of the thread title and therefore doesn't stand out as much.

Overall certainly a big improvement over the prosilver theme for me.
While I would still prefer to have the old subsilver back completely, this is usable again and maybe, just maybe, we'll get a few more tweaks/improvements in the future.

Here's another two cents.... I hated the change also. The alternate one is much better, thanks Don.

Huge improvement with AllanStyle-SUBSILVER, imo!
And I agree with RalphM on point b)

[Filehero]

Yes, big improvement style-wise. Thanks Don.

Buzt I will finish my userstyle/stylish "fix" I've started neverthekess.

Brw, the greyish theme looks nice.

please post it here with screens when you complete it, it's interesting.

Alternate style confirmed to be better.

The previous design was better in several ways. It was spanning the whole width of the browser window (exceptionally important factor nowadays). Threads that I have posts in were more clearly discernible. Currently, other than that, it's Ok.

Sorry to get this old thread started again but it seems with yesterday's forum glitch and - I assume - the subsequent fix, we seem to have lost the SUBSILVER theme again.

[admin]

Just added it again.

[RalphM]

Thanks, so much better again.

[Marco]

Awesome, thank you!
