Hey y'all,
Just wanted to give you a heads up that I will be introducing a new theme to the board soon-ish, hopefully within the next week. There are a few big reasons why, but the main one is the fact that this current theme is no longer being updated by its original developers and is preventing me from performing some critical updates to the forum. I've held off these updates for long enough, but now it's time. We don't like change, but sometimes it's necessary. Rest assured I will do my best to keep the change minimal and keep all the features that you're used to.
Thanks for understanding,
Stephen

The theme been updated and the forum software and our server have both been upgraded. I'm still in the process of tweaking some things style-wise (colors, logo), but all functionality should be in place.

Hmmm, I wonder if that's a setting. I can see the Most Recent when I'm logged in.

You know, I'd appreciate legitimate feedback vs. saying this sucks. I can't make everyone happy, but you're literally no help with posts like that. Use the site for a few days, tell me what works and doesn't work for you, and I'll see what I can do. The old theme was no longer an option for us.

As a non logged in guest and as a regular user, I can see the Recent Topics by default, without having to do anything. Are you sure there isn’t a setting or something you’re missing? Maybe try logging out and back in?tpstulane wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:58 pmWell I found it sort of. You can clickNOLABigSteve wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 2:23 pmHmmm, I wonder if that's a setting.

Steve,
I too thank you for all you do for this great forum. I sell software for a living, and virtually every change, regardless of how many improvements are in the update, a bunch of people complain that it's different. It's human nature to resist change.
That being said here's my feedback: The old theme, when implemented, was a little bright/bold for me and had glare and washout issues with particular fonts. The new theme makes those issues worse, not better. For example, Steve, it's REALLY difficult to read your signature, as well as some others. My Troy Dannen quote (in my signature) is the same, very difficult to read.
That being said, I can deal with it, and won't freak out about a format change. Thanks again for all you do.

Thanks for the feedback. A couple of things I am going to play with:
- Make signatures easier to read (I agree with you on this one)
- Make icons next to Unread Topics pop better
