vBulletin - Theme Questions/Comments/Etc.

[Azi al'Thone]

If it's available as part of the theme, then yes we could, but messing with the vB core files is outside of the scope and I really don't want to touch it. It's messy enough on the backend as it is, let alone dealing with the code, and then we'll have problems with updates and whatnot :P

Now we could get into plugin development etc, etc, but that's just a lot of work.

is there a "see new posts" or "posts since last visit"? I saw it was mentioned a few days ago, but kinda got lost in the white background thing. (I agree on darker backgrounds)

My Profile - the blue hyperlinked text on the gray box that holds the info...really not legible. Not sure if that's been pointed out (didn't see it, but it coulda been overlooked!)

and on the About Me parts of My Profile - how do we get it to not show full DOB?

Quick Links at the Top and then Today's Post will show you the last posts and will tell separate the ones that have been posted since your last visit. Also at the top click Forum actions and edit profile there is an option for privacy where you can choose what is displayed.

For birthday:

Settings> Edit Profile> Hide Age and Date of Birth in the drop down.

On Profile View: The Blue Links on Gray are hard to read.

I see Valo did more work last night! Or the glaring red is gone, and there's a lot less white space on posts. Thank you, Valo!

 

[Erin al'Denael]

The banner up top sort of magically disappeared when we changed the site over. We'll get that fixed soon. No worries!

I would really appreciate it if those of us who have issues with too bright backgrounds on both the reading and typing areas could have a less intense colour/shade. I know this is a work in progress, just posting a wish here.

 

[Myk al'Tod]

First off, hooray vBulletin! I like vBulletin (and Invision Powerboard) so much better than phpBB.

Sounds like a lot of people would like an alternate darker color/background theme. I like the colors with this one personally, but I know a lot of people prefer dark. I also realize that would be a lot of extra work.

Minor CSS issue: the links in the left "card" area of profile aren't very legible due to their color. See screenshot:

I see you're already aware that the header image isn't showing up. A lot of people used the "spoiler" tag in phpBB, so if you have a to-do list, I think finding an equivalent plugin for vBulletin should go on it.

If I find any other bugs/issues, I'll post here. I'm excited that we made this move though!

Also, not sure if this was purposeful or not, but all the threads in Current Events went away.

 

[Serenla Tamowith]

I think Karassa Sedai decided to do a "fresh start" in CE!

 

[Erin al'Denael]

I have already added spoiler tags.

Spoiler

They're just not on the text editor list yet!

 

[Onis O'Leia]

As to Myk's post about colours, I am not so much after a dark background, just not one that is bright white. We used to have a different tone on the background, but I don't really know which one that was.

 

[Nyarin al'Batera]

I'm reading this in a window not full screen and the Quick Links / Advanced Search tags at the top overlap each other, making one horrible mess of illegible text at the top of the page.

Just a heads up

 

[Jodea Kegan]

The white background is going to make it impossible for me to be on here for more than 10 - 15 minutes a day. Serious migraine trigger

 

[Zimone Zarasri]

Is there a way to change the time so it doesn't show like times like 07:22 PM but instead 19:22?

Will there eventually be links in the top of the forum to Rules & Regs and Site Resources or will you always have to go to the Home page first?

 

[Erin al'Denael]

The link this is an annoying vB thing. We're looking into it, but it's a backburner type of thing.

I have time set to AM/PM...were the old boards on the 2400 clock?

 

[Zimone Zarasri]

On the old boards you could choose, which was lovely. :P

 

[Lenore Carvoe]

On the old boards we could choose from 24 hours to AM/PM and so on.

 

[Erin al'Denael]

Well, here it's one or the other. Let me escalate this up, see how we want to do it.
