Forum Upgrade Coming

[slipkid42]

Is there an option to make it look like it did before this upgrade?  Everything is smaller on my laptop than it was before.  Not text size but all of the thread windows are smaller size, if that makes sense. 

Unfortunately, no.  This is the new default theme used on the SMF software.  The previous theme is for a different version and won't work with this one.

Ok - thanks, just figured I'd ask.  I don't like change lol.

Thanks for all you do for this site!

If you are on PC, you can press the ctrl button while scrolling up or down with your mousewheel to adjust the size of any website.  I have this site set to 160% because my eyesight is terrible and I've been wearing bifocals since I was 14 (junior high and high school were fun for me...).

Yes I have done that, it's just not the same lol. 
I can't wear my bifocals when I'm on my laptop, I get dizzy.  I very rarely wear them, just my normal glasses.  I've been wearing them since kindergarten.

In trying to work out some of the errors that have crept into the new setup I was forced to uninstall everything and reinstall.  This cleared some of the errors but not all.  Regrettably, the "Reactions" mod had to be uninstalled and the data for it wiped.  It still caused problems and was finally just left uninstalled.  The "Conversations" mod also had to be uninstalled, data wiped, then reinstalled.  That helped a lot but I'm still getting errors from it, albeit far fewer than the 958 in about 5 milliseconds it caused this afternoon.  I wish the data could have been saved but it was corrupted pretty badly and while I do have backups going back to the first day this place went online and regularly afterward it would be a monumental chore to go through them one-by-one working backward and checking those tables in the DB for corruption until a good one was found.  Better (IMHO) to just flush them and start over.

Stay tuned for more changes and updates.  We're not done yet and there's some interesting stuff on the horizon.

Have you tried the other themes that are installed?  You can also visit the Simple Machines Customizations site and look at some of the themes offered there.  (We're using version 2.1.1 of the software so only themes for 2.1 and above will work)

This new format is great.

How does that work?  We can request a theme or is there some way for the user to use a theme that isn't installed? 

If it's a request thing, can we try Lunarfall?  https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?theme=2919

We do have multiple themes now, and you can customize a lot of it in your profile.

Unless I missed it, no "New Posts" link now?

You did miss it.  See the logo?  Now go across to the right where it says, "They killed us off; we came back a little... different" and look below it.

Has anyone tried this? I prefer the default themes layout over all the rest. But would really like it to dark or semi dark. Any way to do this? Is there a dark theme that matches the current layout of our default theme?

Great choice on the default theme btw nt2c. Its very very easy to navigate on android.

Technically, we could copy this theme and modify the color scheme.  It's supposed to be easy to do but I have zero experience with it.

[NapalmMan67]

I just want the text to be darker/bolder so it's easier to read.

This is the same light background/light text they have on the new Outlook version they gave us at work.  Tough to read.

I just looked.  I'll have to modify 26 files to make these changes.  For the text I'll need to pick a different font.

Don't do it on my account good sir.  I'll keep squinting.

How hard is it to just add Lunarfall or another dark theme like it?

Dont go to a sh*tload of effort. We'll live. The site is so usable after this upgrade. We are splitting hairs here.

As I said to Ani, I tried Lunerfall.  It's not for this version and won't install. I test themes regularly though, so keep checking what we have installed.
