RS246 v5 - Site Style/Theme

[P_G]

Looks much better Phil. You can't please everyone all the time!

Every other forum in the history of the internet has the poster information on the left hand side, why does this forum now have to be different?

We read from left to right, so it's more logical to read the poster's name first, then what they have to say.

The rest seems ok so far.

Dealing with minor points now but I think the stickys would look better if they were separated from normal threads in much the same way as the announcements currently are.

Well done guys, This colour forums looking great!

This. I like.
However, I still prefer the profiles on the left, if I couldn't have that then I'd like the poster’s name to stand out more (such as different colour or increased font size). I see no point of the post subject to have such prominence, it's over bearing and mostly irrelevant.

Fair point bam_bam, but for now I'd like to work on some other items. Appreciate the feedback.

User details on the right is the way this theme works and possibly the default for phpBB from now on - http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=2123310

One day, when some of the more critical things are done, I might have time for this - http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/prosilv ... es-on-left

Might be difficult, so I'm thinking that it might just be easier to have a differentiating icon.

It was all for you Mooch You had me worried with the eyes thing. It does make me wonder why phpBB still ship it when this is a known issue http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 13&start=0

Hi Phil Is the b5 still going strong? A little more contrast or some different colours might be worth a try? just my 2p

[PhilT]

The b5 is still there and working like a charm. Brings a smile every time I use it and now has the B7 front brakes thanks to Unit 20

May tweak the colours in time, but plenty more jobs to do here first.

looks great, nobody likes change but give it a week and everyone will get used to it,

the only thing i dont like so far is when you click new posts the page is a bit cluttered and hard to read

[PhilT]

Agreed that the new posts needs some spacing, but another one for another time.

Had a bit of a crisis today... Seems people have the forum bookmarked and when they visited the new forum they though the rest of the site had disappeared. Anyway, I hope the new menu at the top fo the forum helps people to find the non-forum content (rsHomePage | rsDownloads | rsGallery | rsClassifieds).
