So different will really take some getting used to, otherwise thanks pho for the update. :shock:

It will be interesting….. definitely gonna have to get used to it. I like the new-ness of it, but now I have to find everything again…. though I think I may enjoy the [Flash] option.

Well well fancy the first time replying to you ever Pho, not sure we've ever met. Regardless I find this new change in the forums an appropriate greeting to say the least :) thank you.

Doc y u so slow?

On topic: It's harder to know when there's a new post/topic, I liked the golden look on a thread/topic instead of going to http://www.knights-reborn.org/forum/sea ... d=newposts every time I want to see what's new.

I'm sorry to say, but I don't like it all that much.

I agree with Fraea in that everything is a little too big when you're looking through just one topic. If we can move everyone's profile to the left side instead of the right, that will definitely be an improvement. I can get used to the handling of it over time.

However the theme I think is what kills it for me. This is way too bright compared to what I'm accustomed to with viewing the KR website. Yes, sure, if everyone wants to keep it like this I guess I'll get used to it. I'm just a lowly Knight. :) However I think we should re-think the Theme a bit and use something a bit more appropriate to Star Wars, or even something just custom created to fit KR.

This theme was selected initially as it supports mobile devices too. Please feel free to look around the themes for a phpBB and see what you feel would suit. Note also we don't want overly dark colours, but that doesn't mean we want it to glow either.

:mrgreen: After coming back and forth to it since yesterday, I have began to like this layout more and more. It's still easy to find new post, the stickies are separated from the normal post, and the avatars being on the right isn't as bad as I thought, It's kinda like reading a letter. You read about what the person says before they sign who it is from at the end, and this is what the avatar on the right reminds me of.

My intake is that people got too used to the smaller frames and colours distribution. This theme has more high-tech feel to it, but most importantly it feels vast and unusual (After the years with the previous theme, can't be helped). The good thing about it is that things seem to be easier to find and there's no overload of loading/information because of the raise in simplicity. What I don't like is the overall brightness/gamma/contrast ratio (and with the colors chosen for such a background). I know it's duller than it could be, but I still find it pretty straining on the eyes.

i've actually been using it on my phone, and it's not all that friendly. you have to expand each individual section just to see if it has a new post, and the screen is really cramped. i found it more tolerable when it was just rendering the old forums as a non-mobile page.

there's also an issue with the PMs that i brought up with Pho. i don't know if he's had a chance to look at it, but my Inbox is locked/protected in some way. none of the commands to delete messages, move them, etc... work. and my PM inbox is full... so i can't receive any new ones. i had to create a whole new folder and redirect new messages into that when the inbox gets full, which is less than ideal.

Don't worry Jato. That's the loser who's been imitating Fraea. Needless to say it's account has been suspended.

Also note, it's ability to now request it's ban lifted has been denied do to its own stupidity, call it natural selection!

Can you PM me with details, along with a screenshot if possible? I can then investigate, thanks.

As a matter of fact I have had the exact same problem as Goll here. I have these odd letters and symbols besieging my head with confusion and I had to conduct an FBI full investigation just to find this topic :P

However I have only seen this on my mobile device. I hope Goll can gather the evidence cuz I don't know how xD
 #119336  by Phoenix
 
I've updated the colour scheme guys. Hopefully it's a little less bright :)

I checked just now and it's fixed... Must have gotten fixed when the colour scheme was changed or when you updated one of the other options!

Edit: However, I can't seem to go into any of the threads. :/

Could you elaborate? I've signed in under your account and have no issues opening threads?

I don't know where the mod control is in the music box when I try to moderate it from my phone. Is that normal?

The moderator panel can be accessed from the drop down at the top that says "Welcome Phoenix" (with your username obviously). Alternatively you can access "quick mod tools" at the bottom of the page when you are viewing a topic. If you have any questions about moderating, then feel free to PM me.

I don't think it's my account that's the problem, I tried doing it without logging in and it still happens.

I was referring to going on the forum from my android. I'm simply unable to go into threads, however I can only see the things on -> this <-page and I can't go into anything else, that's all.

Is it just me or are other people having this problem by visiting from a mobile device?
