Forums moves to phpbb3 on 9. september 2009

[luis]

I like the having the poster on the left, and the date etc. like before on the right

why are posting on the left instead like the old, on the right side and on left the authors info?

Change the theme in your control panel.

Hello - short story

after a break I came back to the forums and started reading ... now half an hour later I realise it's extrem, I have to bend forward to a distance of about 35 cm from the screen, I have to screw up my eyes to manage the contrast of the tiny blue font on the blue background.

It's straining me so much that I can't contentrate on the meanings. I have to reread it again and again and demanding myself to pay attention to the concernments.
The moment I switch to writing a posting I immediately relax my back and eyes as it is suddenly tiny black colored font on white background. Switching back to view the posting I instinctly want to leave straight away 'cos the exertion starts the very moment - but there is no way out - here I have to stay if I want to keep in contact with you.

I'm desperately asking for a change - please supply the forums with any other simple arachic style - there are enough ready alternatives - only give me and some other people the chance to escape this blue on blue horror. [can't even really figure it out, it might be slight-gray on blue as well]

exhausted ~ Vera

is there any way for me to turn off the mouse-over highliting, and the "tool tips" for lack of a name, it distracts the hell out of me.

For some reason my last post in http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 12&t=39017
seems to have lost it's indentation of the code, but it's only during display, copying or editing it shows the spaces are there,
anyone got a clue what's going on?

Dear Num3
out of your choice I could live with these: Beta7Silver / Getaway+Darkblue / proFormell

Again I had a look through all the designs closely and made up the following list of those I find suitable.

all avas left sited

LIGHT-background
- 610nm (orange title, black on gray, quiet and good to realize/read contents, normal font-size) ++
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=59
- envision (similar to actual style, but seemingly better color dividing, small but black on white font) +
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=205
- Getaway (also blueish, but good devided, black normal font-size) +
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=41
- Minimal (very archaic reduced, blue main background, quick to overview, small but black font on white ground)
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=95
- sliced (red topics & symboloutlining, good category-deviding, blackstriped mainbackground, small but black font on gray) 1/2+
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=195
- xandgrey ( (near to Minimal) quit modest, no gutters, darkgray bold topics, neat & clear, small but black font on white) 1/2+
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=155

DARK-background
- CA Black (colorfull of black, good to make out, normal font-size) 1/2+
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=385
- hermes (red/blue/white on black, still quick to see and differentiable, white normal font-size )
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=46

MAYBEs
- polyethylene (black on gray, large icons, good bold topics, black normal font-size )
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=185
- ProNight (quick easy overview, good bold topics, black normal font-size on medium gray)
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=26
- Serenety (light silver background, blue&red topics, black normal font-size)
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=35
- slagg (cremecolor on dark-brown, dignified appearence, but comfortably quiet) 1/2+
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=355

I'm not sure which one I would favour the most yet, the + signed ones come close.


Addendum to subsilver2:
there are only two things about subsilver2 breaking my back: the font-size and it's color.
I think both could easibly be changed so that it could show up about the same as it did all the time before.

I really like this one!

[Fred]

I just installed subsilverPlus and made the default, as it does look more modern.

Very nice! Thanks!

EDIT: Could you please install it for the German (and possibly the French) forum as well?

This definitively is a big gain - thanks for that [thumbUPsmilie]
it eases the unlogged mode enormously and stopps the irritation by the right-sighted user-infos.

unfortunatly it doesn't solve the font-problem yet

greetings ~ Vera

We can have that also for the german forum?

Dear Fred,

I solved the font-size-display for the moment

Reconsidering what is predetermined (?) in the style.css:
font-size: 62.5%; /* This sets the default font size to be equivalent to 10px */

I increased the default browser font setting up to 16px, so that the forum displays in 10px alright. Now this really is a big relief.
And testing several bookmarked pages it didn't bother their appearence, so it might just be a final solution. Still I find this font-size method (62%) questionable.

cheers ~ Vera

ps : please don't hesitate to update the german forum with your new standard-style
