We're back and better than ever!
« on: June 12, 2011, 05:46:58 AM »
The forums have had some major problems over the past 4-5 days due to malicious hackers.  As luck would have it, though, our forums software made the long-awaited jump from v1.1.13 to v2.0 over the weekend.  I'm hoping that whatever vulnerabilities were making us a target in 1.1.13 have been removed in the new version.  Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately, the old theme we used doesn't seem to have a 2.0 version, so things are looking a little different at the moment.  I'm looking for a better theme but I figured this one would do for the time being.  If anyone has suggestions for a blue theme compatible with SimpleMachines Forum 2.0, I'm all open to suggestions.

If anyone runs into bugs in the new software, please let me know and I'll do what I can to fix them.

Random Musings is unaccessable because the theme is broke or something.

Also, our rank star images are broken.

The quick-reply box is broken for me, being about 2.5x my original browser/screen width. Also, stickied topics in RM aren't being shown up top for me, though that might be an issue of my own settings. And my avatar is broken, but that is easily fix'd.

Is there any way we can change the forums to not look so ugly? I liked the look we had going before. :(

If you don't like the theme here's your options:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=search;version=63

Excuse my total ignorance, but are you suggesting I can pick my own theme? If so I would like that.

I'm saying that, of the themes I linked, you should pick one to propose as the new TFES theme.

I kinda like this theme.

I'm having the same weird quick reply issue as Wendy. The reply box hangs off the screen to the right, but it's still usable.

I like the new look and its good to be back.  One question though, are we going to get back the "view my replies" and "view new topics" buttons?

Great to have the site back.  :)  Thanks Daniel!

This layout is quite fine.  I like it best of the ones indicated by Lorddave on the simplemachines website.

This theme would be fine if the theme images were edited to remove the gradients and keep it at solid colors.

Also, the background of the thread posts need to be lightened up.

Ooops.  I mistyped in the post.  But anyway, following your link I get:
Not Found
The requested URL /forum/index.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Here are a few blue SMF2 themes:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1724

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2009

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1706

Only if there hasn't been a significant change in the layout between the various RCs.  They likely work though but still... gotta be careful.

The lighter background examples Tom listed do look better with not as much contrast in the colors.  Of those listed, the first one listed called "5th" has the least dark blue in it.

I agree that the first one in my list, 5th, is one of the better ones. Facebook SMF is another one which might work. It's a theme modeled after Facebook.

Facebook SMF: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2195

Daniel should try them out.

Also, the background of the thread posts need to be lightened up.

Alternatively, we could set the text to be completely black by default, like so.

For those of you complaining about the theme: this isn't necessarily the final theme.  It's just the first one I found that was 2.0-compatible and looked vaguely like our old one.  I'm looking into others.

I'll also check into the bug issues a few people have mentioned.  Thanks for bringing those to my attention..

Too many gradients in my opinion. I like simple white with some blue.
