Simple Machines Site Upgrade

[Mick.]

Damn, it's one hell of a jumble. Diabolically awkward to scan. Might be ok on a phone when it all stacks, but is a nightmare on desktop.

I think a row of 3 would be better instead of 5 images on theme site.

Took me a minute ti figure I wasn't logged in I really miss the latest Post and unread posts link on the top. This was very helpful. Maybe I simply didn't find em in a new menu or whatever

Looking nice so far. Will take some time to get used to it but always like new looks

They are a bit more "hidden" and take a bit of getting used to, but they are there.

Wonderful work...

It's about time

Nice job SleePy and team

I'm glad they were able to update the entire site, a great job from everyone who collaborated to make this a fact :reír:. Now is to try everything a little and get used to the new format :PAG.

ADD: It's me? or are the emoticons not going in addition to the image of the range I have?

ADD 2:   O :reír:  : - * It seems necessary to define one or the other and the others if they have 3 characters make a jump it does not look good

Interesting upgrade, congratulations!

I would like to know if the SSI integration articles could still be applied for 2.1:

Finally. Great job.

See our customize site announcement for more information

Where is this announcement?

I didn't see this thread but it was nice to come on this morning and see this. Looks good.

[Shambles]

Looks too "busy" for my liking. I won't be pushing this theme on my users.

I knew something looked different when I logged in today XD.

Awesome job!

It suffers from the old "Let's present as much data as possible in as little space as possible" mode of thinking. Stripping each block down to the minimum necessary content would be a good start.

That was one of my clever ideas back in Alpha. On reflection, I'm not sure it was a good idea. I find myself looking at the interface and thinking of things that would benefit from redesigning.*

Incidentally, having the Preview button before the Post button in the quick reply is bugging the hell out of me, because I instinctively hit Preview when I want Post. IMO those should be reversed.

The pop-up log in form is also annoying. I'd be killing that one asap in any custom work.

*ETA: At the moment I'm thinking it would make sense to ditch the old date text (because everybody has the date on their phones these days anyway) and put the unread links there instead. Much better.

I don't use a mobile phone for dates, times, or anything of the sort .

I bet you still know what day it is. Do you really need to be told every time you look at the top of the forum wrapper?

Yup. I dont use it on my site nor my next 2.1 themes I'm rolling out soon.

[Mick.]

Date and time? Where? Lol it just dawn on me. My first theme was in 2012 or so and I deleted that line lol

[Antechinus]

Exactly.

Just playing around with it. Honestly, even on desktop I think it's better with everything just set to display: block; and the mod/theme blocks stacking down the page. Easier to scan instinctively. Would save some code for phones too.

Same in reply editor.  Whose bright idea was it to switch them?

[Antechinus]

Quick CSS fix:

Code Select Expand

.post_button_container {direction: rtl;}
