Board Styles

Post by CameronBornAndBred » April 10th, 2009, 8:25 am

As some of you may have noticed, I'm trying to find a style that we like, or at least most of us like. It's probably easier if you look for yourselves, then we can decide. (A poll maybe!)
Go here to see what our options are, click the demo and you can see it in full.

The differences are so subtle that I think I'm missing them. I did like #7.

Give me a name, your #7 might be different than mine, depending on how you sort them. There are 7 pages total.

Did not realize that were so many styles. Disregard my comment RE #7.

My favorite style is vphpbb3.

Oh, we must find the smilie holding a beer. I saw that in one of the examples and immediately thought of all our beer lovers.

So long as there is a bit of a difference between the colours used for main posts and quoted sections, anything is fine with me. But I can't decide whether I prefer our info, avatars, etc. being on the left or right side of the screen.

Well, I guess we are used to the avatars being on the left side... so I prefer that. I also prefer the black print on a nearly white background for the vast majority of text (there are some notable exceptions!). And this size text is certainly easier to read than the tiny print on the first board chosen.

I, too, prefer this text size to what we had on the previous board. Much easier to read.

If you click on the A with the little up and down arrows next to it at the top of the page (on the right), it will change the font size.

There is also a way I can install new smilies, so yes I am working on that.
