Thought I'd start a new thread with suggestions of changes, as didn't want to clutter the bugs thread.. But things I'd like to see...

- Make it blue! (In progress I think)

- Make the massive title section more compact, I hate having to scroll just to get to the forums! (Put the buttons up top etc?) Although you can click the arrow top right, as I've just found, but still a little more compact wont hurt!

- Is it possible to have a button like the old one to show most recent threads, it has unread and most recent posts, but neither are the same as the old layout, and I prefer it!

That's all I have just now, I think it's a very good move, just can't get used to it yet and needs some stuff to make it more friendly!

Good thread idea.

I think those changes will probably have to wait to be part of the blue theme as part of modifying it though.

Yep no problem, by the way have just found this mod from SMF which allows the recent topics we are used to!

a show us your ride gallery sticky please

That addon is not needed and does not work on RC4 anyway xEntity.
The link for it is there, its just a matter of CSS to turn it into a nice button and as Nige mentioned, the header stuff will all get sorted.

Oh and if the header is to big for you...


Clicking the arrow moves it up and down

I think this is great, as the long standing members, through thick and thin can now have a say on how they want their forum to be run.

Clock'd, I salute thee.

Well I used to love when I saw a few people say - Hey, Really need spoilers because of xxx reason. And one of the guys with admin access manages to sort it out.
Some style thing not quite right and one of the people who knows how and has access quickly fixes it up.

One of the nice things about SMF like others I am sure.... in the admin backup of the database is DEAD EASY and Nige for example will hammer that regularly.

Awww no more 'screenshot your postcount' moments? End of an era that is!!

Nexus please re-read my original post for both your responses, the link that exists does not do what the old forum did (The two links either show unread threads or display a list of posts), not like the old forum that showed the last 50 threads to be commented in, which was pretty much the only view I used and I believe a few others. (Not a deal breaker would just be nice if fairly simple!)

And also regarding the arrow that you pointed out, I already mentioned that in the original post?

You will now find in your Profile Look and Layout section an option to set whether you want a WYSIWYG + bbc + smilies option on the Quick Reply or not.

Quotes with images in will now show a link to display the image quoted instead of redrawing the full image again first.
