PHPBB3 RC2 Installed

Post by Apoptosis »

We have made the move from PHPBB2 to PHPBB3 now that RC2 was released this week... Tons of new features...

This will be a work in progress, but this is the start!

I can't hardly read a thing with the current color scheem, it's a huge strain on my old eyes, I hope that you'll include a few other different color options. PS, I'm a bit color blind and you just happened to pick some colors I don't see well.

Wow dude! Can't wait till you're done with the tweaking. For now though it looks...meh. Though in just the couple minutes I've surfed it, I like a lot of the new features (like a tag on the avatars that let you know whos online) and I'm sure there are many moreawesome things to discover. All I ask is that you please please please fix the color scheme and layout. One of the many reasons LR is one of my favorite sites is the 'mature' look and additude but right now, it looks kinda 'cartoony' (kinda ironic coming from me considering my avatar :lol: ). Oh and maybe add some more smileys while you're at it (at least a ;) ). Other than that, congrats on finally making the leap to phpBB3!

i think a simple minor color change to the LR colors of yellow and green on the different posts will help differentiate them. Depending on the computer i am on its easier to go through.

Hmm... my first impression was WTF :lol: It isn't terrible, but very cluttered. Some things are easier on the eyes while more others are harder!

Just giving honest input!

am I getting old and senile, or are the View Next/Previous Post buttons gone?

Color scheme is a little tough to get used to, but over all I like it. Nice work Nate, and any others that helped with the remodel.

now i am experiencing a new problem with the new setup....

the new post indicators where it turns red when there is suppose to be a new post, doesnt seem to be working right. Before it would it would go away when i leave the site or close FF. Now its like it wont go away unless i post. Also some of them seem like they wont go away period, even if there is no new posts in a thread. Anyone else or am i just seeing things??? LOL
