Great work on the new website and the forum looks great, now wheres that bloody CD and DVD? :D
Yep, looks fantastic. :)
Agreed, nice work!
That's our Dene that is.
Top job gent. :D
A million thanks, Deno. Fabulous job.
Fantabulous!
I felt all warm and frubbly looking through the shiny new pages :)
Eeee... int'it loovleh?
Indeed, great job, very nice !
I concur, the whole thing looks quite dandy. I do prefer the lighter background of the old forum, but i guess there needs to be some progression!

It's just to reflect the darker nature of EIMA... :twisted:
Very nice, I do prefer the dark background, a lot easier on my eyes.
One gripe is the usernames a re a bit small and less noticable, I have to squint to read them...
very snazzy new site and forum! still dying to hear the album :D
I've enabled user tweaking of the look, there's a thing called ProSilver that you can have too so hopefully that might help.

Well. It does help, kinda. The header of the site dissappears though and the forum interface itself gets stretched through the whole screen. :)

I agree, I'm trying to see if there's a setting, but I can't find one. Deno?
Personally i like the dark look, suits the EIMA vibe better, but thats just me.. :)

I'm trying to find the light switch
I just tried the silver and I have to say that the black is much more cozy.
Hi all
The thing is, I designed the forum (header, Frosterisk's etc.) to fit in with the overall look of the new site. That's why I disabled ProSilver which is the standard theme with PHPBB3.
I'll look into getting your usernames more visible (i'm afraid that won't be something you can do in the admin panel Jem, i'm gonna have to get my latex gloves on and have a tinker under the bonnet)
cheers
Dene

Where's the silver? Couldn't find anyway to change it

In the forum CSS stylesheet perhaps? I found this section in mine:
p.author {
margin: 0 15em 0.6em 0;
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
font-family: Century Gothic, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.2em;
}
Possibly edit to
p.author {
margin: 0 15em 0.6em 0;
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
font-family: Century Gothic, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 3em;
line-height: 1.2em;
}
I haz avatar...Yeaaaahh :)

Sounds a bit too technical to me.........black it is, I'm getting used to it

It's not YOU (the user) who has to change that, it's the admin :) If he changes it's gonna change for us all. And yeah, that seems about right SerFox. That's the one setting we're looking for here.

Try and do a bit of webspeak and it all comes unstuck :D

I personally would increase the font size. That yellow doesn't look too good/doesn't go well with the rest of the design/colors. That gray was perfect, it would only need to be a bit bigger. :)
It's the actual size thats the problem for me, even if you increased it from what it is to maybe a couple more pt it should be alright.
I'm using the same system on my forum (phpbb3) and I had a poke around, there seems to be some leaway for a coloured username system dependent on rank/postcount classes, could be a fun feature?
I'd say aiming for something like this would be good:
Username01
And for those having Avatar issues, see my post here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34 (http://www.frostmusic.net/frosties/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34)

Will check in later to make anything wrong.....errr.....right..

I'd ask for a nose around the CSS CP but ehehe... not my forum :lol:
Can we have glow in the dark light switches for Mikey :D
While we are at it. I noticed that whenever I quote someone's message and then write my own stuff and hit submit, it won't submit, I have to hit submit again. Don't really know what that's about, why it wouldn't want to post it right away.
EDIT: I tried to post "normally" now, withouth quoting and it does the same. It's quite annoying.

Works, and has been working, OK for me & I'm the village idiot
Are you using the right buttons? they're not in the same order, or I don't think they are. That's my excuse for the first one I tried, quoted instead of URL'd

I think it's because the board is letting you know that someone else has posted on the thread.
Or I could be completely wrong :oops:

That sounds like the new feature where someone else has added to the thread while you were writing your post. Gives you a chance to amend it if needs be.

Ahh yeah, that makes sense. So it's basically to let you know that somebody added something to the conversation and you might want to consider that as well. Still annoying though. :D

Doesn't show Edit in the post either after editting
Never mind that. Did you know that Post Cereals (formerly Postum Cereals) was founded by C. W. Post. It began in 1895 with the first Postum, a "cereal beverage", developed by Post in Battle Creek, Michigan. The first cereal, Grape-Nuts, was developed in 1897.
The Postum Cereals company, after acquiring Jell-O gelatin in 1925, Baker's chocolate in 1927, Maxwell House coffee in 1928, and other food brands, changed its name to General Foods Corporation in 1929. General Foods was acquired by Philip Morris Companies in 1985.
In 1989, Philip Morris merged General Foods with Kraft Foods, which it had acquired in 1987 to form the Kraft General Foods division. The cereal brands of Nabisco were acquired in 1993. In 1995, Kraft General Foods was reorganized and renamed Kraft Foods.
On November 15, 2007 Kraft announced it will spin off Post Cereals and merge that business with Ralcorp Holdings. [2] That merger was completed August 4, 2008.

Haha. :D Don't worry. I do stick around. Though I have been active on several forums over the past 8 years, I've never seen such random posts haha. It's all good though. Great bunch of Frosties* you all are. 8-)
I think it looks great all dark-like.
but I'd like to see more posts on each page when I'm in a thread. like 20 or something.
but that's a minor quibble.
8-)
in the words of Geoff Foster...
it's a beautiful beautiful thing
That's MUCH more like it with the size of the usernames. Good job. :) Thanks for tweaking it.
Its bitchin just like i was hoping for! Who ever was responsible for the design of the website out did themselves. I mean the flash animation is top notch and everything looks like the detail was the number one thing you all were after. Great Job! You guys out did yourselves!

Seconded... I know it does fit in with the rest of the website now but especially in combination with the different background used for quoted parts it makes it tiresome to read.
You can in your profile change the skin of the forum to a lighter one but you lose on the little frosticles if you do
