I definitely like the new theme...thanks for making it available! One other thing I just noticed, the icons on the threads have a little black dot on the ones I've posted in. That's a nice touch.

By new theme you mean subsilver2?

I found that prosilver has a bug: unread posts do not show the orange unread-post icon. (The icon is there on the server but not used!). Does subsilver2 have the same bug?

Well, after I just browsed the available styles on phpbb.com I have to say: nothing! All crappy...

Nope, the orange icon is there, just as it was back with v2. But what icon are you talking about ? From what I remember, forums/topics icon only had their "foreground color" go from black to red, that's it. And the little post icon was changing color (not sure it was to orange though, I'd say some dark red right now but I'm not really sure...), because since I was scrolling manually I used that to locate new/unred posts!

Anyways, just make subsilver2 the new default and it's all fine I say! ;)

No, the bug is here too (me too I changed to subsilver2). It's the small "page" icon right of the poster's name after the small black arrow: it should be orange if the post is unread. But it's white.

Oh right, you mean on the right, last post column! Yeah those stay the same indeed. I didn't notice because I look at the title's column myself, since it contains the title (!) and also feature the little orange icon for topics with unread posts. (And for forums, on index, I use the big icons ;))

All in all I liked the previous version (2.0.23) better! The pages now are cramped with useless junk that cannot be turned off. Turns me off! :evil: But there's no way back, and I don't have the time to edit the PHP files myself. So now we have to live with 3.0.2... :|

Yes, subsilver2. Sorry for the confusion.

Well, now that I've got a style that makes it readable, having a few extra items doesn't bother me that much...some of the new things are actually useful!

I like having the status of online/offline for other users so I can better guess when/if I may see a reply.
I also liked having the prompt about a newer post when making a reply so that my slow typing won't be in vain and I can adjust post as needed.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

I like the subsilver2 as well, looks like the old ver.

Everything looks nicer except for one thing, the font size in the messages themselves, they are HUGE!.

Everywhere else the font size is normal including the persons sig at the bottom if they have one.

Heck even this edit box I am typing in right now, the text is humongus.

Sure makes it easy to read from across the room though, even with my bad eyes.

This is in FireFox 2, both in Windows and Linux.

Really? Maybe this comes from a setting on your end like zoom or something, because it looks quite normal to me. If anything, it'd be slightly smaller than the old version...

I checked FireFox, and it is set to use the websites fonts.

But, like I said, the fonts of everything other than the messages themselves are normal size.

I feel like I'm reading a childrens book :mrgreen:
