Forum themes?

@ivor said in Forum themes?:

We're testing. It was ugly to us too and removed before you posted here. We notice that stuff, just like you ;)

Can you not have a duplicate of the forum to test with ?

[lburr]

@johnpoz Yes it looks like they're actively working on it, will be interesting to watch the progress.

@ivor If you can restrict the Recent Posts to just the home page, I'd actually like it.

[johnpoz]

I am still seeing the recent stuff on the bottom.. Not a fan..

As to them testing on a different duplicate - then they wouldn't get user reaction..

@johnpoz yeah, it should only be on main page, we just noticed that!

[lburr]

@ivor Much better!

[johnpoz]

And seeing foreign language topics as well.. I have the international section ignored so shouldn't any of those topics not show up in that recent list just like how they don't show up in the new posts listing for unread?

edit: Gone... Nice fun working on how the site looks in realtime ;) hehehe

@johnpoz How do you ignore posts written in other languages? I've looked around a bit but can't find it...

@jegr I want the grid boxes back because it uses real estate better on the screen. These bubbles and wide spaces make it harder to find things. Most other forums are that way too.

@lburr That was answered in this forum and on the Netgate blog already, just read.

[lburr]

@jahonix Thanks, sorry I missed seeing that on the blog. All good now!

I liked the idea of the old forum toggling background colors of posts, something like

dark grey
darker grey
dark grey
darker grey
...

The interchanging backgrounds really helped my old eyes, even though I'd prefer darker color schemes now.

Looking better :)

Forum is slowly shaping up :) but we're not done yet!

You should get rid of a lot of the ancient stickies. Some of them are years old and totally irrelevant today.

That's on our TODO list. In fact we were discussing a few of them already this morning. Feel free to suggest any you think should be unpinned.

Mails from forum.netgate.com are coming in just fine now

[ivor]

@gertjan yup, should be good. Thanks for reporting these issues :)
