New forum skin
« on: April 25, 2010, 07:17:07 am »
Hello.

I rework the forum skin to have somethng cleaner (especially to remove all yellow borders). If some people want to go back to the old one, they can do it with the "Look and Layout Preferences" page inside the "Profil" page. The current one is "UFO:AI 2.x", the old one is "1.x"

If there is any problems with the new one, please reply, i hope i can fix little things.

Thanks

hm... i like it.. but u must have a very big screen (i have just 22" wide).
i like it much more compact. easier to read and less to scroll.
padding or margin too big i mean.

edit: - also huge gap btw. header and maintext
- u cant reach home from download (link)
- u cant reach contact from about (link)
- in download it should be told, that 2.2.1 is VERY old
edit2:
- new photos to the gallery would be nice. take some from mcr out of the forum :)
- why so much space btw. this text and "« Last Edit:...» "
edit3:
and i forgot to mention: great forum-picture u have :)

Maybe we can reduce a little the padding for messages (this current screen). But i dont think there is a lot of space to reduce. But this version of SMF is not very easy to custom, then not sure it is possible without broking another page.

- also huge gap btw. header and maintext

Screenshot is welcome, i am not sure i understand everything you point.

- new photos to the gallery would be nice. take some from mcr out of the forum :)
I will reskin the gallery too. But you are right, it need more work. I think we should first sort images by game version, and sure then we can add up 2 date images. I must ask devs.

I also like the ongoing changes here very much, thanks for the tuning here...  :)

It would be great if the link 'View the most recent posts on the forum.' could be somewhere on top also... ;)

There is quite some place @ the top (because of the height of the logo), maybe there could even be additional useful links & info added there... ?

Do you talk about "new posts"? on your personal links (on top)?

No.
About the 'most recent posts on the forum', which you can normally find only on the main page @ the bottom where it says: UFO:AI Info Center...
This information (or part of it) could also be useful to have somewhere on top...
