New Forum Look
« on: June 26, 2014, 03:40:08 AM »
Hey guys,

As you probably have noticed we now have a new look and feel to the forum.  In all honesty I wasn't planning on doing this as there will be more changes down the road, but in an effort to cut down even further on spam I tried to install a new anti-spam method and completely destroyed the registration process. 

Since I was unable to fix the registration process I was forced to completely upgrade the forum to the latest software.  Though, I do like this theme a little better as it feels cleaner and it's not all hacked up like the other theme I had.

There will continue to be more changes over the next couple of days as I'm approaching 3 AM here and I need to sleep.  If you realize something is missing let me know and I'll try to add it back in.

Hi Tyler:    I love the new look.  I noticed that the number of posts is not shown in our avatars.  I think it would be great if you can show each members number of posts, again.

Hi Tyler:  Also, would it be possible if you can also include and show the latest top 25 current posts.  I always loved it when the old site displayed the latest, current 25 discussions/threads/posts.

Very refreshing style. Seems much more contemporary and as timeless as Slyness.

That should be fixed now.  I somehow turned the no-spam mod off.   :/O

It's back on now.

This theme only allows up to 160px wide for the avatar, yet the old theme allowed up to 300.  I couldn't find a way to have the forum resize the avatars to fit.

Time to resize mine.

By the way...the new theme looks good on a mobile browser as well.
