.......since the Great Crash a couple of years ago.............

hahaha the "Great Crash" LOL!

I'll have to admit I prefer the old one better than the new one too, but such is life ;-)

 

[coius]

btw, just wanted to give a heads up, but I am posting this under OS 9 with I.Explorer 5. works great! better than my forum renders!

I forgot how usables sites under IExplorer 5 were on the web. I might have to browse around a bit more

For those complaining about not being able to use the forum with a 68K Mac... did anyone actually try?

I did try the other day and although it did load, things on the pages were in quite a different place than they were on my G4. The last forum appeared roughly the same on 68K browsers and modern browsers, and the one before that was virtually identicle on both.

The new layout is actually growing on me a bit now and I especially like the fact that you can turn of signatures. That makes threads much more readable and makes it easier to concentrate on the topic being discussed.

I tried the forum using iCab 2.9.9 on an LC 575.

Prosilver, CSS Enabled: Complete disaster. Slow and unusable.

Prosilver, CSS Disabled: Ugly, kind of jumbled up, but usable.

Subsilver2, CSS Enabled: Actually renders quite well but very slowly.

Subsilver2, CSS Disabled: Not as ugly as Prosilver. Usable.

Looks very nice. It hurts my eyes for some reason though. :lol:

I for one like the new theme. It is unfortunate that it does not work with any web browser under os9 or older without playing around but that is better than it not working at all.

Updates are always good (except when it comes to iTunes).

;D And sometimes Windows. ;D

RE: New theme.

Do Not Like.

At All.

The site looks far less retro now and to be honest reeks of amateurism in it's design style. I greatly dislike the avatars and usernames being on the right. Secondly, the blue is quite distracting.

I sincerely hope this changes, and soon. Otherwise I might have to reduce my visits. Now because of the users or content mind you, but because it really, really, really, really, really hurts my eyes. I took the time to type out each 'really' because I actually feel that way. Sorry, but that is how it is.

I might add that the tiny page numbers are messing me up badly. I kept seeing the new posts colored icon but i click on the thread and theres no new posts. Then I noticed the tiny little page numbers.

Change to the Subsilver2 theme, it's not that hard. It's usable with Subsilver2.

Thanks Mike.

It's so much better now.

In case you haven't noticed, we've upgraded the forums to phpBB3. Quite a lot has changed, so feel free to have a look around and see what's new. There could well be bugs cropping up with the new system, so please report them in the Bug Tracker:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24

The old forum archive is offline for the moment (I needed the disk space for the upgrade), but I'll try and get it back online soon.

Cheers all,

~T

The upgrades look very nice. Thanks for all of your hard work, I really appreciate it.

Tom et al,

I gather that the theme itself isn't portable, but if you need Platinum graphics for any theme work you are doing, you are welcome to steal some from the PPCMLA. I have no experience with phpBB3, so I don't know if they will work out of the box, but I am nevertheless happy to make the donation (especially since they are © Apple, most likely). ;-)

Peace,

Drew

That would be great to have a platinum theme! Also a System 7 theme would be quite nice. I think that would make the place seem a lot more Mac-like.
