Comments on new SMF theme

Click on "Less" and it'll disappear

You can never please everyone, the theme is more professional looking and thats certainly a good approach. I think it looks great, but for those that are not happy let them use lynx.

I think, Bloc has to put more efforts on images of theme! Still the old fashioned post images are lookin very bad! Hope he agrees with me

Why not make suggestions instead of saying 'Still the old fashioned post images are lookin very bad!'

Provide some ideas, get the creativity flowing.

Plus, people will actually respond to your posts with less angst if you give them the same.  Remember, you get what you give, and you give what you get.  You give negativity, thats what you will get back

Better still, remember... This is open source and community driven by people who put their time and effort into it. Instead, why not crack open a handy-dandy image creation application and make new images, upload 'em, and give 'em to the community?

Is there any thread for posting errors and bugs experienced with the new theme here? I have some of them 

[Daniel15]

You could post them here (in this topic itself), although if you do that, there's a possibility that the developers will not see it. I'd suggest to make a new topic for your problems in the "Site Comments" board (same board as this topic)

[Thantos]

Bug reports can be made to this topic (the devs are reading it) or to the topic over at the bug board: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=165061.0

Ive about 4 pages of unread replies on this thread, so sorry if it's been mentioned already:

When you click to 'Show unread posts since last visit' or 'Show new replies to your posts', there is no option to mark them as read, which was in the previous theme and was quite handy!

[Thantos]

We need more information about that Cypher.  Please join the discussioin over at http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=165618.0

bug report:

when I click reply, the reply button moves to the right, and then when I click it the second time, it executes.

I am using firefox with size 15 fonts

also
when posting a message when I click font size in the bbc code options and select something, nothing happens.  no code is inserted into the edit window.  same thng with  font face and change color


also, the little program I have to monitor web windows gives this error, often on this site

Code Select Expand



uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLDocument.designMode]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/Themes/default/scripts/editor.js :: InitIframe :: line 246" data: no]

I like the theme but the area where the news can show [if you want]. It's kind of ugly

Perhaps the newsarea can be a little framed black board or something that stands out in a old shool way, or even better. Make a litte style for the newspart and people can style their own news areas to look the way that reflects on the content.



I don't have a clue if its a good idea, but it is an idea

i get the same issue as ladynada, with having to chase the reply button :p

[ladynada]

I have another bugaboo..

I just went into my profile to edit my signature, and I can not.

it has a vertical scrollbar on the right side, and every time I click on it and draw it down to see the last line in my sig, it pops back up like it is possessed!  seriously.  I can not highlight the whole sig either...

I do not know why this happens. 

wait lemme try change my font size to 12

nope, same thing.

sorry to bear bad news,
nada

OK, the reply bug is getting annoying, indeed.

And ladynada - the signature problem has happened ever since on all SMF forums.

There are still too many tables in too many places. Firefox has a rendering issue because there's no width specified to anything in the bottom section and things get resized when you move something.

[Ðyєgσv]

The only strange thing I have seen this far is how the reply button runs away from you, and you have to click it twice

Other than that, I have been loving this new version. I love how the menus are done now, and how the banner/news part looks. It's simple and good looking at the same time.

I think that this layout is definitely better than the old one

[Ace3]

love the new theme, way better than the old one
