what happened to the board?

Post by Red Dragon »

what happened to the board's skin?... or what ever its called... Its like the basic phpBB skin. I don't think it was anything i did on my side. I looked at my setting and there isn't even an option to pick one, that i saw anyway... too much white!!!

There was an update, and the update didn't like our skin. So it made us change it.

Hollywood's whitewashing strikes again.

We were discussing it on the FB group and it devolved into Mandalorian propaganda.

There is no such thing as Mandalorian propaganda. Mandalorians are too amazing to need propaganda to help themselves.

Sorry guys (and gals), we should be good now. I had to upgrade the software due to a vulnerability in the old version, and unfortunately the old theme was no longer compatible with version 3.1. We'll have to work up a new theme compatible with the new version.

Typically a 3.0 to 3.1 release wouldn't break theming, but I must say I've been less than impressed with just about everything phpBB. The upgrade process was a serious pain.

On a positive note the board operates great in mobile mode now. Lol

Yeah, I noticed that, too. But I'm not a big fan of not knowing details on new posts without actually clicking in the forum. :|

While we have Goober's attention, would it be possible to hide these forums:

Auriel
Auriel OOC
The Old Republic
The Old Republic Gen OOC

The last TOR post is slowly approaching 3 years old, and the last Auriel post is very quickly approaching 2 years old. The last TOR Gen OOC post is slowly approaching 3 years old as well.

I think I did it. Let me know if it didn't work. Note that mods will still be able to see them, but regular users shouldn't.

It was done, yes. It looks a lot cleaner and easier to scroll through, thanks.

One of the big updates in 3.1 was better mobile browsing... if I had to guess I'd bet that was the change that our theme didn't like... can we atleast switch the theme to a dark version of sub-silver???

Far as I recall, there is a dark-coloured theme included with phpBB. Been a while since I set one up, though.

Haven't checked recently but the only one that comes in the install is Pro-Silver which is what we're using now. Changing the majority of the color scheme is usually as simple as uploading a new CSS file but I don't know what the backend access for us is like, it seems to be somewhat limited atm... which is I would assume why we're still running the stock theme.

Yeah, I saw a list of templates several months back, and a few of them would have worked well for our theme, but I don't know of they're compatible with the current version or not.
