New Look to the Forum

Post by phil4 » Mon Sep 09, 2019 7:36 pm

You may recall when we moved from the old forums to these, that we adopted the default skin, phpbb logo and all.

We always intended to personalise it a bit more, but a few other things got in the way.

Now it's time for a change. Following a post by [mention]Karl V[/mention] we've been working on a new style for the forum which we'll roll out in the next day or two. You can view it here: https://www.ariel.club/forum/index.php?style=15

New Forum Style - Flat Red

At the point we roll it out, you can switch back, we're not going to force this on you. But equally we hope you like it. I've already switched as I prefer it by a country mile.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, and credit to [mention]autobackup[/mention] for changing it early.

I've now switched us all over to it, so if you're reading this on the old style, I'd be surprised. That being said, if you really did prefer it, you can go back, click your name top right, and select "User Control Panel".

Select the Board Preferences tab (3rd along), and partway down it says: My board style: From the drop down select "prosilver" and click submit. The next time you go to the site it'll be back in the old blue/silver style.

If you have any feedback, by all means post here.

New skin looks much better. Surprising how much little differences can make to the perception of things.

Good job.

Great look. Wanted this ages ago when Bruce suggested it. Excellent work.

ariel.club font and colours may need changing to align with official logo etc, but this is sooo much better than the bland phbb template

Can I still block [mention]Sir Nick[/mention]'s posts, or am I forced to read them now?
