Wow. What a dictator...

I hate it . Literally that is the only reason and one I will not yield to the collective judgment of the Second Apocalype Hive-Meld.

Booo!  I love it dark on light...

Well... sorry, people.

I've tried my best to always yield to the Hive-Meld at all other decision making cruxes. I'm sorry if exercising my absolute control in this one instance is off-putting.

Light on dark hurts me and leaves trace images.

Well, I don't really care what colors you pick... I wasn't being serious there anyway.

Haha, it's whatever, it's your forum.  It would be neat to have switchable color options, but that is probably a lot of work and maybe not even possible under SMF...

H, I believe Wislhire or Madness said that there would be a new "pay" option to add the skin you so desire.

[Madness]

No worries. I'm just dramatic .

We're all good, Aural/H. All in jest.

Though, Wilshire knows more about what's possible than I. Maybe preferential colour schemes is possible.

Lol - No, MSJ. I'll never make members pay for anything. Wilshire is buying us a custom theme from SMFtricks and he wants input on what he should get.

Said no such thing lol. Stop spreading your blasphemous lies.

Sorry. I read it wrong i guess. I took it as there would be an option that we could change the format's skin.

Sorry for poor communication on my part then.

The whole forum is getting a new theme/skin. I don't know if it can be made dynamic once implemented, but I'll see if that's an option and what the added expense might be.


So far it looks like a 'no' for a carosel of moving/move-able pics on the home page.
Custom banner up top
Custom subforum icons
Something more minimalist than with more 'features' that would likely be irrelevant.

Any suggestions for static header and/or footer images?

[Madness]

It's possible that we might have a unique banner being taken care of.

Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes.
Since the switch, the forum can't be approached anymore through TapaTalk. It says the plugin is currently unavailable. Any chance that will come back?

[Aural]

What switch? It's fine on tapatalk for me.

There hasnt been a switch in a long time. We haven't done it yet.

mostly.harmless, Tapatalk updates their code for our SMF version more often than I regularly check. It shouldn't cause immediate problems being one update behind but I've installed the most recent version again (as I've done periodically over the past couple years). I'll make sure to check more diligently.

Wilshire, on topic, I personally don't find any with static bars running across the top or side appealing or those where different categories aren't organized top-down (though, I'll admit that one is probably just my skew having read the same kinds of forums for years now).

EDIT: It also looks like at least one has a function that allows someone to change the colour scheme - I just can't tell if that is the admin or regular users.

EDIT: By "static bars running across the top or side," I'm referring to the login/recent topics that will float at the top or side as you browse. Otherwise, I like the banner space.
