Need Help With With New Forum Name

[Account Abandoned]

Haha, yes. My Grandma is from East Germany, when she gets mad, she uses it quite often >_< Gets me going all the time.

In fact she will start speaking in complete German while looking at me, knowing that I have no clue what she is saying...

You could get some good stories about similar things from Runic, you know. His granny was German, too.

You guys came up with some great ones. I love retrogasm, lol. I went with Retro Buffs. I took it out of maintenance mode just a bit ago if you want to check it out: www.retrobuffs.com . I'd love your suggestions. Just go easy. It's my first ever, lol.

You've even got the theme looking quite retro!

Good stuff! Let's hope it's a success.

[Chalky]

It does look good indeed!  Good luck with it

[Retro Lad]

Thank you for the kind words! I tried to make it look as retro as possible. So, I've built it. Now I just hope they'll come, lol

I like the "retro" too...  Retrotopia?  Retrophoria?

Retro works for me, and I really like Retrophoria..

or how about Retroforia

but retrobuffs works well..

[dimspace]

And looks good by the way..

Only small complaint, for a retro site whos users may well be of a certain age (like myself), gawd that fonts small.. I had to zoom in to 160% to read it..

I was actually thinking the same thing. Is there a way to change this in the admin panel or do I have to change code?

BEFORE:

Code Select Expand

/* Set a fontsize that will look the same in all browsers. */
body
{
background: #d1d1d1 url(../images/_Stone/theme/backdrop.png) repeat;
font: 70%/130% "Georgia", "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 5%;
}

AFTER:

Code Select Expand

/* Set a fontsize that will look the same in all browsers. */
body
{
background: #d1d1d1 url(../images/_Stone/theme/backdrop.png) repeat;
font: 78%/130% "Georgia", "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 5%;
}Makes it more readable/bigger.

Thank you Mashby! I  increased it to 80% from 70%.

Does that look better Dimspace?

[ApplianceJunk]

[dimspace]

Looks like a promising forum.  I may well sign up .

I'm not quite sure about brown as a colour, but it's not off putting either.  Otherwise, it looks great though.  A sensible layout, and you haven't gone overboard with boards, which is good.

I also like the final choice of name.

Just one thing.  It's 80s without an apostrophe.  If you're going to be talking about years gone by, I think that it's important not to make that little mistake as the site admin .

Thank you for you for the compliments! I looked around forever to try and find the most retro-looking skin that I could, and this was it. I would honestly like the text area to be more of a tan, than the brown, but until I have time to learn to customize it myself, it'll have to to do.

I didn't realize I made the apostrophe errors, lol. I'll change them now. Thank you for joining. I will try and make it as exciting and active as possible.
