Now that I am back from the beach and trying this on m PC, this as awesome. Wish we could stretch the avi's though. Do you think reloading in the profile would work?

Once you tweak it it is sweet.

Sugg, beside the avi's the thread symbols don't pop. I was also wondering if it's a major to do to could tweak the copper color a bit more yellow gol? That StL Nw Orleans copper thing ,, well .... Just wondering.

Most importantly though. This site is first class now. Sexy to boot. Thank you so much for the time it took to make a great thing even better for all of us !!!

ha ha, yeah, try to get a little fancy with styling, make the icons very light until you hover over them so the avatar stands out nicely, and in the end folks can't see or find things! :oops:

I always appreciate the effort. I am on a more than a few forums on different areas of interest. This one is different from all the others. I don't find it convenient compared to others. This has some pizzaz but it doesn't work with ease IMO. Already I find myself attracted to another Rams forum. Just being honest. Of course change is most often approached with resistance and time will tell. I do miss the old format though. If simple functions are not readily apparent then change is needed which you seem open to. I hope it works for your interests.

great post swadude and i feel ya, but honesty l i think this layout is simpler than the prosilver (previous board's) layout... the thing is, if i stripped out all of the fun addons (at least imo), like the like button, rating button, the quickview button, etc, etc, the perception of ease of use would increase considerably imo, but i think forums should be more engaging, offer current technology... also, more and more folks are turning to mobile and this software is designed to be responsive, to display better on smaller devices.... anyway i hope you give it a chance, i think you'll find it surprisingly easy... hell if an old man like myself can catch on to it quickly, anyone can!

Speaking of quick view, makes a thread super readable, give it a try...

all great stuff hacksaw and very doable....

re the colors, as i mentioned to elvis any one of us can right click on the forum using google, select inspect, and then change any and all of the colors at will, panel headers, symbols, icons, text, background, everything... the learning curve is very small, and once done folks can take a screen grab of what they came up with and post it, and if everyone likes it we can permanently (the google feature doesn't stick, it's for testing looks and functionality without making permanent changes) implement the color changes at any time...

re the avatars, for this style to work properly we have to keep them the same size so we can either download the squashed ones and stretch them up a bit and reload them, or maybe even heighten them on the fly using code... the thing is not all all are squashed as far as i can tell... anyway, point is, we can certainly do something with them...

i actually wrote the code for that, it's not an extension nor was it a part of the new software, i just always liked the "summary" look of the reference thread when you make a post, thought it would be fun to have as an option in the actual thread, plus i thought it would be cool to have a one page thread, of course if any coding expert checks it out they'll probably laugh their arse off but, hey, i got it to work, ha ha!
