Forums Update
« on: December 14, 2009, 11:01:30 am »
I have just updated the Forums software, the templates are a little wonky at the moment. Please bear with me as I adjust them. They will need a little work to match our setup here, so please be patient, but your input is welcome (give me a day or so to work out the worst of the kinks first).

Your patience is appreciated.

OK, I've got most of the kinks out. Ready for input. Did anything get missed? Want a font size tweaked here? Want an image replaced/reverted? A border added or removed there? Is any functionality broken?

The new posts icons on the root forum index page look a bit blunt.
Some Fonts seem to be a tad bit to small .

I concur on both points. Something to work on.

For now though:  IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TALDREN THEME USERS!!!!!!!!!!

The Taldren theme is still there. In the update process you may have been reset to the default Dynaverse theme.

There were 23 Taldren Theme users in total. I did not record who you were. I know Frey and Pestalence were 2. THe rest of you are on your own. I do not want to maintain a second theme but am forced to. If you were reset, just go reselect your Taldren theme and be done with it . OK?

Well you could go with my suggestion and use Taldren as the default.  ;)

Well the more I test it out when copying stuff to it, the more it grows on me. Let's see how we feel come the next update.

Nevermind, I found it.  :-D
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

Fixed new timezone settings. (Apologies - I missed that.)

Set max posted picture width = 850px. (this one may take a little fiddling and appears to only affect new posts...)
