New look for the forum!

[Martin]

The new forum look is cool ! But the new forum host is bad. It was kind of horrible to see "Gone..." yesterday :(.

Felt like the end of

, so it was like the host dropping any decency to suddenly threaten "u r dead nao dawg" to the devs :'(.

Let's fight for decent forum hosting conditions >:(.

 

The forum host didn't change, I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about. Please explain :)

 

Hey!

I just saw that we had a server problem. Now I know what you are talking about :)

Nevertheless, that was independent from the new forum look.

Thanks for your concern, though :)

Also I just noticed its hard to see the borders on quotes, maybe make them a lighter gray shade or even the same as the code borders? The #10131a is hard to see, I swapped it to white and it stood out much better.

 

I increased the background color slightly for more contrast, I hope that helps already

 

Yeah that looks better thanks :)

Love the new style! I'm sort of sad to see the old one go; it reminded of that classic retro "forum golden years" time when forums were still very much the de facto platform to communicate on.

 

However, the new style is clean, modern, and shows user avatars on post titles so you can in one glance see who's dominating the front page with all their topics the author of a post. I like it!

 

One remark though: the "brights" seem "rather bright" - the whites are very high contrast with the dark blues, and the light blues are extremely bright against the dark backgrounds, too. I suggest toning them down just a tad so its a little easier on the eyes.

Not related to the new design, but an issue in forum: Forwarding from http:// to https:// does add parameters to the forwarded URL, so you land on index.php when clicking a link with http.

 

Links to this topic, with and without https:

Link with https

Link with http

 

This results in many forum links that does not work anymore.

Should be fixed now.

Thank you.

Awesome, I was already replacing many of my links manually. No need anymore, now!
