cool, you got 500 posts. congatduteslatketions ( I never can spell that right)

congrats for short

[admin]

For a surprise, go to your user CP -> Edit Options -> change your Style Set option.

Come back here and discuss

[BoF]

is it a release of the skin or should we have to continue testing?

[admin]

I had to release the skin to the general public in order to test it properly on all the forums, but the default skin is still the old one, and you have to manually enable the skin in the User CP before it is applied. When all testing has been finished, it will become the default skin (while the old skin will be selectable as an option in the User CP).

So yes, testing continues ...

Great new style...now, it's time to get used to it.

Great work by the way, admin!

[admin]

Don't thank me, thank ddlooping (okay, maybe thank me for 10%, and ddlooping for 90%) for the new theme

[SKD_Tech]

I love the new style some images are broken on my comp though so not everything shows up

EDIT : I just found out it was my comp I refreshed and everything works

[chickeneater]

nice theme. two suggestions:
1) the new post images should be a different color that is bright, say orange.
2) the ends of a title bar should be capped, so it is smoother. like before "author" and at the end of that bar "reply"
and "All times are GMT -8 hours. The time now is 09:26 AM. " to "reply", just those bars

great work on this style! I never thought that this would happen

[chickeneater]

also, I just noticed this:
shouldn't there be a table border around teh categories on the index?

[ddlooping]

Hi all.

I'm glad you like glassyBlue.

@ chickeneater,

1) The new post images have a different shape.
Isn't that enough??

The coding is:

Play button >> new post (unread message)
Pause button >> no new post
Stop button >> closed thread.

Orange >> not a thread containing one of your posts.
Blue >> a thread containing one of your posts (used to be dotted image).
Red >> hot topic.

2) not sure what you mean by that.
Could you make a mockup or do a screen capture and post it?

[ddlooping]

"shouldn't there be a table border around the categories on the index?"

There could be, but I prefered it without.
admin can easily change it if he wants to.

P.S: it does look better with one though.

[chickeneater]

like have an orange button for the play button if there is a new post, like it would be brighter and easier to see.

I guess I can make an example with photoshop, I'll try

[ddlooping]

"like have an orange button for the play button if there is a new post"

That's what it's supposed to be, (unless you posted in the thread and the play button is blue).

P.S: attached is the forun index table with a border.
It is indeed better.

@ admin

If you want to add the border:

"forumhome" template

<!-- main -->
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%"> 

The cellspacing for the 2nd table has to be changed to "1"

[chickeneater]

I like that.

um... do you know how to change the entire hue of an image?
