Forums upgraded to IPB 3.0.3

All of those are displaying just fine for me (I count 11 in your first post, plus 1 duplicate "", and 10 in your second post). Perhaps you have a connection issue that's intermittently stopping some images from loading.

I can confirm the same, all smilies are displayed correctly.

Is there any way to set the forum skin back the way it was? A forum like The Dark Mod's, with all it's Thief fan mission goodness, looks best with dark colors.

Nope... Not possible. And the only dark color missing is the black background-color outside of the forum frame. I think?

The area that is bright is the entire large middle area of the forum where all the text and the player avatar pictures appear in the threads. For example, what I'm typing now and what you type will be all in this bright off-white sort of cream colored area. The area outside the text, on the far left and right side of the screen, is a medium gray thin vertical stripe. That looks ok, but the middle area is very light and bright. Surely there are color options with such a fancy looking forum, even if not individual custom options. Can the entire forum have the color put back more like it looked before, or anything darker than this?. A dark forum goes much better with The Dark Mod, and it's a lot less searing on the eyes, too.

I'd call the page background more of a dark grey, and the post backgrounds light grey. Looks fine to me. If this is searing your eyes, I think you need to adjust your monitor. I quite like the new theme.

[Dunedain]

Hmm, yeah, I suppose you could call the large middle area where the discussion text appears a *very* light gray in color. And I already do have my monitor brightness turned down. In any case, it's way lighter than it was before, not nearly as Thiefy. Maybe the text and avatar picture areas can be made more like the darker background shade of gray that appears around the edges of the forum? That would look more appropriately atmospheric and sneaksie.

I like it the way it is.

 

I had trouble with dark letters on all too bright backrounds as well, but that's what you get all the time in the internets and wordprocessers as well.

 

My personal solution is a nice compiz-plugin (neg) which lets me invert the screen or individual windows. Once you get used to it, you never want to miss it again.

So what goodies did we get with the latest forum upgrade this evening..?
