Forum upgrade: The update

[Dbug]

The bad news: The Yahoo! hosting seems to be worse and worse.
The good news: I managed to make almost all my virtual-host redirect to work, took the opportunity to solve the actual disk location of the stuff, but I have to make sure that everything is working, including the svn depot.

So now new_forum.defence-force.org is correctly appearing without showing itself as on a subfolder on miniserve.

Stay tuned, and please bear with me, I know the forum instability is annoying, to the point that I have it open at work in my browser refreshing every few hours in case it broke... and then I have my phpc ommand to repair the table :S

Hopefully this week end I'll be able to perform the switch to the new forum.

Now I have work for you: Find me a good looking theme for phpBB3.
If we find more than one I will open a poll. You are of course welcome if you want to make one, but ideally I'd like everybody to like it, and please nothing with a black background because it kill my eyes

White background kill my own eyes

(We can have selectable skin )

[Dbug]

Well, could be grey, or pastel pink, or whatever. Just not dark black with dark grey and bright red :p

Not sure if phpBB 3 allows each user to have their own skin?

Just clean, readable and easy on the eyes.

[kamelito]

not from Php but you get the idea, relaxing colors.

I kind of like that one: http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/AeroBlack

[Godzil]

I don't like Getaway, it looks like web from the 90s!

Aero black is better, but the border is still too large



Dbug: so you don't like theme like http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/1BlackOut or http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/1Game right?

From what I know, phpbb2 allow users to select it's own theme. The version 3 should have the same option?! Anyway


I like this one : http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/1thank but it's too narrow, and like a clear séparation between users posts...

Or this one http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/610nm with less orange thingy (game, find why this theme is called "610nm")

- http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/Absolution is clean too, but too narrow
- http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/Artodia%3A+Ultra+Blue
- http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/neosilver
- http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/prosilver This one look like the current with other colors
- http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/subsilver2

But... Why not this one :
http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/XMass ?

game, find why this theme is called "610nm"

650nm is better for Oric theme.

I just use ProSilver now, it is better than AeroBlack (IMHO).

[Dbug]

At the moment I installed Aeroblack, ProSilver, and a special theme for mobile devices (specially adapted for small screens).
Personally I'm using Aeroblack but I'm fine with installing other themes that you can select in your own user preferences: please give me a direct link to where to download the one you want (I'm only moderately installed by the ones you found but don't like )
