What Style are you using?

[bszopi]

Just trying to get an idea of what forum style/template/color scheme people are using. #107 is the site default, and therefore the one I make most of the changes to. I know there are issues with some of the other ones (the Home Page on White Pixel is jacked up, as well as some text on it). I don't want to spend a lot of time changing templates if people don't use them, but I also don't want people to not get all the site options by using a style that I typically don't change.

i've been using blues fluid just because i forgot to change it back to 107 and just sorta got used to the blues fluid.

but after this i have switched back to 107.

I lost the MFT on my hard drive for some reason, so found it a good time to upgrade to this 7 Pro cd I've had on my desk for a while after getting the partition restored/rebuilt. I came back here and for some reason it was set on Blues Fluid (do cookies set templates, and not what settings I save to server?). The reply and reply with quote were hard to see, so I switched back to #107.

yeah i noticed that too. it's like they are blacked out till you hover over them. kinda the same thing with the 107 but at least with the 107 you can read them.

haha change my vote to #107

On Blues Fluid the "Forum Tools" dropdown is almost completely blacked out. The options only show up if you hover over them.


Quick edit: looks like it's the same for "Thread Tools", "Rate This Thread", and "Display".

That's why I moved back to the #107 theme.

The latest update to the site software made some changes in the styling department (with more to come in the next release as well). These have been known to break styles. Both Blues Fluid and White Pixel were downloaded styles, whereas #107 was created by Ben and I. So there is a good chance whatever they had done in the style was broke with the most recent release. I'll see if I can see if there is updated themes for them...

Can't fault the default . . . it's good old #107 for me. Who the hell makes up the names for these styles, anyway?

SappySE107 Anymore questions? lol

never caught onto that one but i should have figured it had some meaning behind it

for topic sake i have been using #107 since i posted in this topic. just gotta flush the cache and other stuff from my other 2 computers since it won't hold the theme once i navigate away from the page where i changed the theme.

I personally like White Pixel but the fact that the "Reply with Quote and Reply buttons are both white boxes until you hover over them is kind of annoying...

Otherwise I like #107...

1. I didn't know the "style" was changeable. I didn't know there was more than one style.

2. How the hell do I get rid of the chatbox on the subforum main pages? God, that's annoying and useless.

To change the style, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and on the left-hand side, there is a dropdown box. Select the various styles and choose the one you like best.

To get rid of the chatbox, its probably easiest to just minimize it. To do that, in the upper right corner of the chatbox, there is a down arrow. Click on that, and the box should minimize to just the header. Maybe I'll see if I can make an option in the UserCP to turn off the chatbox for those that don't wish to even see it.

EDIT - Hmm, well that doesn't fully minimize the chat window. I'll see if there is an option to allow for fully minimizing it.
