New forum

[panther]

Hey, I like the new forum look! Maybe too bright colors for XCOM accustomed eyes, though.

[Volutar]

How can I get another, miminalistic look?

You can pick your skin in Profile > Modify Profile > Look and Layout.

new theme is good

Is there a skin that has distinct icons for "new post" and  "no new posts" for the sections? The icons you see on the main page...

[Volutar]

Yeah, "new posts" icon are almost the same as  "no new posts", that was a problem when I first came here. But I kinda used to such subtle difference

[SupSuper]

I just use the "Show unread posts since last visit." link on top, saves me a lot of clicking.

Good tip. I forgot about them.

Anyway, in the mean time  I decided to roll out my own small Stylish script to fix the board to fit my needs desires:

Code: [Select]

@namespace url(https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain('openxcom.org'){
  /* top nav menu padding so that links do not show over the rounded corners*/
  div#topnav{
    padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px !important;
  }
  /* topnav menu link border to avoid elements "jumping" when the mouse gets over the menu items */
  div#topnav a{
    border-left: solid 1px #292929 !important;
    border-right: solid 1px #292929 !important;
  } 
  div#topnav li:hover a, div#topnav li.sfhover a{
    border-left: solid 1px #000 !important;
    border-right: solid 1px #000 !important;
  }
  /* change the images used for "no new posts" on the main page */
  img[src="https://openxcom.org/forum/Themes/Insidius2/images/off.png"]{
    height: 0 !important;
    width: 0 !important;
    padding-left: 30px !important;
    padding-top: 30px !important;
    background: url(https://sdn.ro/silviu/openxcom/off.png) no-repeat !important;
  }
}

Copy and paste if you want it. It's a bit rough on the edges, but it does it's job for me.

I have changed my skin form the dark one as it was to hard for my eyes to handle , im not a young as i use to be

I do however have 1 question, on the old forum i could return to the website and read any news by clicking on OPENXCOM at the top of the page, in the new forum i cant see any link back? Is it just me or is it no longer here

[AlienRape]

I too, love the new look of the forum, however I wasn't too impressed with my account being deleted though...

[SupSuper]

Yeah not sure what happened, looks like some accounts vanished but their posts didn't. Just re-register with the same name and you get them back, and let me know so I can fix up your post counts and such.

Ehm, yeah, I remember we had more than 200 members, and now it's only 93. Is it the the recent spambot cleaning plugin that is doing a bit too much cleaning? There were a few spam accounts, but certainly not more than 50%

[SupSuper]

one of antispam module was misconfigured due upgrade and 14 accounts was deleted due logins from ip addresses blacklisted  by couple antispam organisations.

let  they recreate accounts with same nickname , then let they email me from email used to register account.

i will reconnect posts to them.

[Volutar]

I don't know if this is because of new forum, but occasinally I experience Home/End/PgUp/PgDown not working issue (which is annoying). Could someone confirm this?

[Volutar]

Anyone??
