Forum upgrade
Hi everyone,
It's upgrading season around here as you may have noticed.
We've updated the forum software (phpBB) to the new 3.1.x series, as a result the old theme no longer works for now. I've added a few new themes so far and you can configure them under the User Control Panel->Board Settings section of your profile. Apologies to anyone that dislikes the new themes... the old one (Getaway Darkblue) is still there but it's buggy. If you have any compatible theme recommendations you'd like to see added, just let me know and I'll add them. There will be a few more tweaks to the current themes to add some links back in/branding.
The front page portal is down at the moment too but will also be added back in shortly.

Re: Forum upgrade
Not only here. The website where I look for job vacancies also upgraded.
The only thing I don't like is the blinking/animating icons.

Re: Forum upgrade
Definitely. I've been helping Emu fix up the new theme so that it looks nicer.megalomaniac wrote:Mobile browser update is nice
On that note I made a banner :
Edit : wait, are image tags broken now ?
Edit 2 : welp I was stupid and put a } instead of a ].
Also leaving this here :
Streetwal | emu_kidid: add margin-left: 0px to .postbody in responsive.css, otherwise it makes the mobile version go berserk

Re: Forum upgrade
The only thing I dont like is that the font size seems to be for people who have a really hard time seeing. Reminds me of a mobile site. Other than that, seems alright I guess.

Re: Forum upgrade
font-size is first set to 10px, which for posts is then made 0.3 times larger, which evalues to 13px. That's not big at all. Are you using a different theme than aero black?jlo138 wrote:The only thing I dont like is that the font size seems to be for people who have a really hard time seeing. Reminds me of a mobile site.
Other than fixing the font size, the theme also contains atrocities like this:
Code: Select all
#wrap {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1152px;
min-width: 625px;
padding: 0 15px;
}
Code: Select all
<link href="./styles/aero%20black/theme/responsive.css?assets_version=11" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="only screen and (max-width: 700px), only screen and (max-device-width: 700px)" />

Re: Forum upgrade
The old theme bug, is that the one where you can't select the thread page?
Re: Forum upgrade
@jlo138: That looks like proFormell, but that doesn't evaluate to a high font size either. (11px * 1.3em)

Quickly switch between themes
Instead of having to go through the UCP to switch to another theme, you can simply use the ?style= function to do so:
e.g.
index.php?style=5
BTW, guests and users who are not logged in will also be able to select a theme with this method.
Code: Select all
http://www.gc-forever.com/forums/index.php?style=xx
xx = theme
1 - prosilver
5 - subSilverClassic (not selectable via UCP)
7 - Getaway Darkblue (buggy)
8 - proFormell
9 - aero
10 - aero black
11 - aero green
12 - aero pink
13 - aero purple
14 - aero red
15 - proFormell GC-Forver
index.php?style=5
