He is the most strange guy I have ever seen. Ever. I hope for him he is not mentally ill. Every six months he comes with a "new, great, smf related project" and after a few months he and his "projects" simply disappear...that's all.
I would suggest you don't make personal comments like that. Bloc had and has contributed to SMF for many years and is responsible for a lot of things you see today.

It's kind of true though. Every so often he appears, has moments of greatness, then disappears again taking it all with him and leaving anyone who spent money somewhat in the lurch. Then he reappears a bit later as though nothing's happened with a new idea.

I  love his work My forum has run smoothly since 2009  on his design BUT when you put out xxx.00  and 4 months  go by  . At least I would refund the funds so I can arrange some one else to do my upgrade .

Like I said I have "NO" complaints about his work it awesome .But when you agree to do a service get paid in advance as agreed then never provide, HEY THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.

My Forum Members contributed the funds  when you spend a couple of hundred " would you not be concerned"  It just leaves  me with deep concerns at first if something had happen to him and his family , but then I see he was posting here and ignoring my communication ,

What would you think!!


I just hope he does communicates with me and refunds the funds so I can give them back to my forum members

Just out of curiosity... If I were to completely re-theme SMF 2.0, who would be interested? By that, I mean no packages would be compatible I don't think. I would redo pretty much all html/css. I've thought about it before, just because. Just wondering who else would be interested in such a thing...

My 2c: at this stage it'd be a waste of time. Better to put the energy into 2.1 markup/css once that is fairly stable. 2.0.x is full of all sorts of dinosaur stuff.

Anyone got a working copy up? What's changed? New theme?

Is that what I said. No normal people on earth would do things like Bloc does.

And this gives him the right to be an as*hole?

Wedge makes quite some changes, although not so much from a themers point of view, but more from the modders(though i know the devs will disagreed, neither of them have made any themes to speak of so its more an exercise in what they *think* will be helpful :P ).
I agree that we're limited in our scope, because we're not artists. However, I did spend six months in 2011, and several months in 2012 and 2013 just perfecting Wess, and I can say without a doubt that anyone who learns how to use it, will have a hard time going back to regular CSS. Also, the skeleton (and mini-skeleton) systems are much better suited for making small changes to the template, and there are tons of other tweaks that are here to simply make life less miserable for themers. Of course, as the author of Wess, it's in my interest (it's really just a matter of pride) that themers create skins instead of themes, but even then, new themes will benefit from Wess & my other tweaks, just like Weaving does.

PS: for those who don't follow wedge.org -- Weaving is the name of the default skin (and thus default theme) in Wedge, and Wess is the WEdge preproceSSor, very much inspired by SASS (and partly by LESS, too, back in its beginnigns), where you write less repetitive CSS and make use of extensions, mixins, color manipulation, dynamic functions, nesting, prefix-free CSS, variables, browser/login status/whatever testing, and on and on and on. I'm confident in saying, Wess has more features than either Sass or Less ;)

Sorry, I'm just rambling, as usual when it comes to my work!
I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.

I only just saw this thread and read it cover to cover.  Always loved your themes Bloc, bought the premium ones and still use them today.

Pandora and Dartmoor will always be my faves.

I've thought about it Runic, but I don't like the default theme at all. I don't like messing with it in the slightest.

then mess with core :) you were back in the day an amazing designer, and I believe you still are!  We need someone to show the current ones how to make a theme :D

Nothing has yet to meet the standards of the old TP themes.  ;)
No, I will not offer free downloads to Premium DzinerStuido themes. Please stop asking.

Quite honestly, I can't stand messing with the 1.1.x default. The markup is absolutely horrible IMO.
