Forum improvement suggestions

[feo]

Old smilies back..

New themes, maybe a slightly darker revision of the current theme and a new "night" theme for night owls...

The little speak bubble icons I know are the vBulletin default but can they be replaced with something a bit slicker? They look too Web 2.0 *vomit*

 

[Pooky]

I'm not sure how active the vbulletin community is but how about user selected themes?

Maybe one that resembles the old forum as well as a dark one for the night owls.

+ 1



please?

Yeah it is a bit bright.
Themes would be good.
Also a line which is distinctive enough to seperate "Sig's" from the rest of the post.

+1 to all of this...

Too much white!!! It seriously starts to hurt my eyes after a while as there is no "containment" of anything...

I also think a "show all threads started by user" would be good!

Remove the "blog this post" button. It's a needless distraction which will hardly ever get used.

Increase font sizes.

Improve contrast issues.

Ja, fix the button which takes you to the first new post. Also, it keeps saying that there have been 0 views when there have been several replies. That doesn't really affect functionality, I guess, but it's a little disconcerting.

i like the look but I am one of the night owls so this will be hard to read at night so the themes a good idea I think

and once again THAT

Maybe also the size of the font in the reply box is really small. Bigger would be very nice.

Design by committee is a BAD idea.

 

[rph72]

Selecting "New Posts" in Opera Mini leaves the thread title unreadable. :-(

 

[phoneJunky]

Make the search work like the old forum

 

[bekdik]

has mbb mobile reverted? It's much easier to use on the E71


Now it seems that any movement from a mobile page is going to the full version page

+10000! It just jumps to the last page in the thread... Actually very irritating, thus I'm adding another "smiley":

Also happens when editing a message in advanced edit, and then submitting... jumps to the top of the page, and not the post just edited!

Another request: name of the last poster to post in the thread, as in the old version, please...

I like it. Its just a bit bright and the italics in the quote bubbles make them a bit hard to read...

 

[Shake&Bake]

Also the "Quick Navigation" bar is not available once viewing "New Posts"

 

[davemc]

+1 on the "it's too bright" issue.

The text-box where you enter your Quick Reply must use the same font size as the rest of the forum's text, it's too small.

 

[bekdik]

fome mobile mbb, pc, subscribed threads, it goes to full version page. is this imtentional?

 

[AnomalyNexus]

Old smilies & make the user subscriptions more accessible. (esp in the "whats new tab")

 

[MyWorld]

Go into "Off Topic" choose "mark forums read" from the tools section and it only marks the sub-forums as read and not the rest. Same across the whole board where there is sub-forums.

I have a dark desktop colour theme and a wide-screen monitor. Can you please make the textarea font black, since I can hardy read what I'm writing, and force a maximum width?

Here's a screenshot of what I get: http://snyman.info/files/mybb_forum.png

Personally I find the overwhelming whiteness very hard to bear - some options would be very welcome.

 

[AirWolf]

Please fix the "go to first new post" icon linky under the settings page.

 

[kilos]

Prefer the old look - easier to find the Sub-Forums, now you have to search for the Links --thumbs down --

+1 The current theme is hurting my eyes I have come down from spending almost the WHOLE day on the forum to about 3 minutes cause my eyes just cannot STAND this new theme

Please change the way in which forumites' general details (forumite name, no. of posts, location, etc.) are being displayed (all the way to the left) in the threads. I prefer it to be as it originally was. Also the icon that shows whether you're offline/online is tiny. Make it bigger, obviously.

Everyone keeps mentioning the colour scheme/blinding white background.
