Forum Upgraded

Very nice.  We can definitely take custom submissions also, and if you put in the logo and what not along with it, awesome!  This looks really good so far.  If you can send an email to mud@armageddon.org with the package for the theme, we can toss it on there and test it out.

Though I'm a fan of reading things as if they were actual books (light background, dark text, limited graphics), that one from James was definitely readable. It's missing the voting buttons, but otherwise I like it!

Yeah, I think if you add the voting buttons it's perfect.

I'd also love the option of actually seeing my post after i posted it.
Sometimes, severity is the price we pay for greatness

While we're on the topic, I took a readily-made theme and more or less did a lot of copy-pasting.

I'd be interested in giving this a spin

Already on it!

What I've got so far:


And a... cleaner version? I dunno. It's an option.


Besides that, better mobile support is in the works, thanks to my sister. If I manage to figure it out, I'll be moving the hard-to-read text blurbs out of the header and giving them a space of their own. There are a few more pictures in here, if anyone wants to offer feedback. I've been using a little online tool in terms of readability but if something doesn't sit right, let me know and I'll adjust it.

Sheesh, just might have to see about making a contest for who can make the most awesome custom theme if others start joining in. I mean, if there was interest that is.  I'm loving the fact you all are working to try to make these.  It's very much appreciated!

Can do.  One or two things I want to clean up first.  Do you know if anyone has a high res version of the logo, especially one with layers for the text, etc?

You know I think if James simply retitled his thread "Cheese" and apologized for his first post being off-topic, all problems would be solved.

I don't know if this image is available but I will look around and see if one is hiding somewhere.  I wouldn't think it is terribly likely but I will let you know if I come across one.

I just realized something very important is missing from the new forums: a link to the main Armageddon website. It used to be right under the vote buttons in the upper right corner. I don't see it anywhere now.

Seems that it was on one theme but not the default.  Thanks for pointing it out!

Yeah, James, it looks awesome.


...but it needs to be grittier, harsher. Maybe make the preview harder to view, with a 20% chance to crash my browser.

I'm just looking for a general consensus. Or Moe's opinion. Either one generally can be accepted as canon.

Just to chime in on this, this is a general forum setting, and seems to be unrelated to themes. You can go to your profile settings, under Look and Layout, and tick off a box that automatically returns you to topics after you post in them.

I just  wish this theme featured the logo.
