New Forum Template

[[Al]]

Due to work commitments it has taken far to long, but its at a state to go beta...

Profile > Look and Layout Preferences > Current Theme... click "change"  > Select "sdh-v0_8"

This will become the default theme all members will see... once we have shaken the bugs out. If you are feeling brave and/or curious please check it out and post your bugs/issues/feedback below.

Cheers,
Al

looks tidyier but its a killer to read, can we get a lighter version please or one with more contrasting text

[Raymonndo]

Yehh agree with al*.

Seems alright just need getting used to.

I know what you mean, we tried various font sizes and colours of fonts and backgrounds. We ended up here. I am by no means averse to something diff, so mock-up away

with the new version of the forum, there's no pic for the MMS board when looking at all the boards...

[sir nigel]

Looks clean and tidy, only thing im finding difficult, it used to be easy to see if a board or topic had anything new in it since i'd last looked, now this is hard to tell. Seems a lot of new logos and things...

[sir nigel]

Actually after looking in help, it explains it all. So yeh, can't see any problems with it visually. Maybe add some colour to the little icons such as topic you've posted in/hot topic etc as they're not very obvious at a glance, it takes effort and stuff...

Nice one guys 
Im liking the new template, i think im going to carry on using it and get used to it.
Only a few things id mention.
Its hard to tell the difference between sticky and non sticky topics and also on the main forum view where it says the latest posts etc grey is boring 
But only small niggly things really 

[Chucky!]

looks much nicer now

also when writing replies everythings much bigger and more organised

only thing is as al* said, something are a bit harder to read but other than that me likes

I quite like it, but i would agree with everyone else about the text being a killer to read. Also its a bit dull, being pretty much completely grey. Its also harder to see the difference between posts made, where it used to be Orange then white and its now just slightly different tones of grey.

Anyway, Overall i like it. 

[sir nigel]

If i'm honest i have no problem with the text at all.

[Harry Barn-Owl]

As Al* said, a bit more contrast for the text would be nice, but other than that it looks super smooth 

[Sawyer]

I likes it.

Once I get used to everything it'll be better as well.

Looks great guys, well done [Al]. Has the search button been fixed on this template, a few searches I just tried seem to prove it has
