Forums are now running SMF 2.0!

[Flatline]

If you have that theme in hand and don't mind sharing... I wouldn't mind that at all.

Sure, let me finish first, then you can have it

[Nalgas]

Code: [Select]

// Show the first page. (>1< ... 6 7 [8] 9 10 ... 15)
if ($start > $num_per_page * $PageContiguous)
$pageindex = sprintf($base_link, 0, '1');
else
$pageindex = '';

Heh.  Is that what the actual SMF code/comments look like?  The last time I had the misfortune to dig into IPB to fix something, it looked like it had been written by lolcats...

[Flatline]

Yeah, that's some php coding from an SMF forum. Biggest problem is trying to find the little bit of code you need to change in the 190+ php pages, and the css files.

Completed the forum theme now, and sent pm to x4000 with download link and a few comments. I'm bound to have missed something, doing a theme this quickly.

Things that would make this new forum better:

-Ability to see markup tags in the  message writing window

-ability for the right mouse button context menu to appear when clicking on the body of a message writing window. Notice that if you right click on empty space, you get a different menu than if you right click on text itself!

Both of those work just fine for me, but that may be because I've reverted to the old theme, at least partially out of being too lazy to look for a SMF theme I like more.  I suppose I also have JavaScript's ability to mangle context menus disabled in my browser, too.

Any chance of getting the old favicon back instead of this current thing? (Which appears to be either a deformed windmill, or a pile of pudding bearing a crucifix.)

Perhaps it's both: A Pudding Without Wind.

Things that would make this new forum better:

Goto: Profile / Look and Layout Preference and untick "Show WYSIWYG editor on post page by default."
Should get the markup tags then.. make sure you click "change profile"

Thanks, this worked.

Cool stuff!  Got the new default theme that Flatline created in there, and the old (new old) theme is also still in place for those who want it.  Will customize the folder icons further tomorrow, when I have more time.

In terms of the new favicon, that's the AVWW icon.   It doesn't reduce super well, at least not in non-transparent format, so I might change that at some point.  But for now that's what it is.

Seems to be working fine, aside from a couple minor things.  The way it highlights things like the subject field when you mouse over them when replying to posts is a little disconcerting/weird, and the emoticons look a bit off on a dark background because for some reason people still use GIFs instead of PNGs and don't have proper alpha channels as a result.  Nothing major, though, and those are SMF's fault.

It feels darker than the main page/site, but the colors really are the same.  I think it's just because it's the nature of the forum to have larger blocks of the darker colors without the bright pictures and stuff to break it up.

I like the look of that new theme, but I'm going to have to stick with the old one until there are proper 'new post' icons for the new one. I just have to be able to quickly scan a page and see which topics have updates, and just seeing the word 'new' in the same font and with nothing to make it stand out just isn't doing it for me. Hopefully that's on deck for a fix soon, because I think it looks quite snazzy otherwise.

New topic icon doesn't work on the iPhone's safari browser FYI!

But the new look is nice

New Topic Icon, was in different location on live site than local site, forum uses english-utf8, rather than english. Probably just rename directory from english to english-utf8
attached.. goes in http://www.arcengames.com/forums/Themes/arcentheme/images/english-utf8/

new2.gif - A New Topic Icon with black text also attached, if X4000 thinks it's better than white. (Needs to be renamed to new.gif

Fixed "Code" background and "Hover" on input, see Nalgas post.. attached css file
goes in: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/Themes/arcentheme/css/

Smileys can be changed to use a different one.  aaron's set works better (It's a standard set installed with forum)
admin - forum - Smileys and Message Icons - settings
change Default Smiley Set  to aaron's set

Okay, awesome -- thanks for all those additions, Flatline!  Those are now in place, as well as I've put in new art for the actual forum index graphics.  Looking good!
