dinos are nsfw?
Perhaps you have never had a job job, but, as clearly stated by the post you quoted, anyone within 100 feet of your monitor will know you're not working if this theme is up.

I'm in agreement with what Rico said.  I'd like to be able to read the forums while on break without pretty colors drawing attention.

Yes, this is exactly what I was talking about.

Maybe there should be a mobile skin with little to no images/fancy colors that phones and whatever can default to, and if you're at work you can type in m.forumurl.com to go there on purpose.

No avatars, signatures, images are clickthroughs, etc.

SMF forums are actually fairly mobile friendly to begin with, unless the header has a huge image in it.  For some reason it tries to draw the whole page default width the same as that header, but all the content such as posts will fit just fine on the screen.

So yes, alternate theme would rock.  Not that the dinosaurs aren't neat, it's just some of us can't be hardcore dinosaur enthusiasts 24/7.

Actually the old forum looked hideous on the iPhone.  Had giant white streaks running down the side.

Could you make the orange links glow a little so they don't clash as badly?

I don't know what the CSS looks like, but just add

Code: [Select]
text-shadow:0px 0px 1px #fff;
to whatever the link code looks like and it'll add a small glow. Maybe change the color. It basically takes away the sharpness of the letters.


maybe ?????

Also I have come to love the giant image, because on my new tab page the forums are just the dinosaur. $$$

Which reminds me. If this used to be WFE, what is it now? BF?

Wow, coming back to six pages of new posts is kind of a new thing for me.  Thanks, guys.

I kind of have little hope of ever being able to browse this site at work given that I now have the dreaded job job job (TRIPLE JOB!!!), so yeah good work coming up with a theme colorful enough to let me know that if I am seeing it, it is now okay to take off my pants.

Also had this sig before the theme change, just sayin'.

I will do this at some point in the near future

Yes, this is exactly what I was talking about.

I understand folks want the option to switch back to basics, it's just a little project in itself to get that working like it oughtta. Lemme get the main theme sorted out, and then I can see to adding the original theme where the color bar used to be.

Yeah, I'll get the older theme up as a color change for folks with mobile browsers after I get all the kinks worked out with this one.

Look, you can go fuck around on your iguanoborum all you want, but I'm sticking with the hueg possibly carrion eating dinoforums.
