New Themes Installed
« on: May 19, 2014, 12:24:18 AM »
Since we have upgraded to SMF 2.07, we had to dump some of the old themes. I have installed new themes that are compatible with the new software. Check them out and I'm open to any & all discussion relevant to the new themes or requests for new themes. I've only used those  that say they are compatible with SMF 2.07.

This theme is from the 70's. Will it work?

Now, to add back in the tweaks I had previously installed. Miskie has done a great job n getting   the forum back online without much loss of data. Since I loathe change, I want to add back in stuff we previously had. That way, Miskie doesn't have to worry about the petty stuff.

Excellent  :cheersmate:

I did manage to get somewhere around 40% or so of your past tweaks re-enabled or replaced. - but it is a long and tedious process.

Profile > Looks and Layout

I noticed some of them don't seem to be complete, but that might have been the old browser I was using at the time.

Now, sooner or later--no rush, but sooner or later, we are going to get back that part that showed who was viewing each forum (at the top of each forum page), right?

Right?

The thing that would read, for example, "franksolich, Chris_, JohnnyReb, 1 hidden member, and 6 guests are viewing this forum."  At the top of each forum page.

If that's an option, it should show up if with the default forum theme.  I changed mine to something else, so I'm not seeing that.

I switched back to the default theme and I'm not seeing any names.  It must be a third-party modification.  As soon as I can find it, I'll go ahead and install it.

It's too late tonight, but tomorrow I'll look for an old screen-capture of a forum page, and post it here so one can see what I'm talking about.

It was always very helpful.

I'll look for that modification/ feature. I remember what you're talking about, Frank. It may be an add-on that we need to install or something that has been omitted from the current software.

Okay, as I run across screen-captures from the old CC, I'll post them.

None of these need any sort of immediate action--no way--but I'd like to know if they're upcoming at some time in the future.

Are we going to get the "Recent Posts" thing back, which shows the five latest posts?

Bear with us, Frank. A lot of the old features are not compatible with the new software. I will endeavor to find add-ons that are compatible and install them as I find them.

I'm bearing with you; you guys are doing good work, great work.

These posts are not to be construed as "demanding" something; they're simply inquiries as to if something formerly here but not how, is coming back or not.  I'm really really appreciative of all you guys do, and it should be done at your own convenience.

<<<simply inquiring, nothing more.

Done. Recent posts is actually a software setting, it defaults to off. I set it to five as it was before.

Is there an option to add more than five posts to that list?  I can't find it.

Seven or nine would be nice to have, but that's only my opinion.

Yeah, an admin can set it as high or low as desired.
