Forum back up!
« on: February 18, 2007, 01:22:48 AM »

Forums are up again. Thanks for your patience!

We now use SMF with a very customized theme that I hope you enjoy. Special (very special) thanks to bunbun for her help in the icons and other cool stuff.

I managed to keep the users, posts, threads, forums, even the avatars. The only thing lost (sorry!) is the attachments. Maybe some day... meanwhile, if you need any of the attachments from the old forum just ask me.

Some changes:

  • The Multiplatform subforums are now under the "English" category
  • The Offtopic subforums (except the trash one, now renamed) are now also under the "English" category
  • Same with the Distro-Specific Packages subforum.

Hope you like it, and sorry for the downtime!


P.S: Please leave any comments about the new theme/forum config/etc that you want in this thread, so I can do changes if necessary. Thanks!

P.P.S: Yeah, bunbun's my fiancee.

is it possible to have better colors for amule home?
Black on dark grey doesn't seem a good way to let people read very well...

That's noted and will be fixed.

It tok some time, but now it's done, but two things I don't like, or maybe I liked better in the old one.

1. I miss the quick-answer field, I now have to cliock on reply for a reply.

2. The arrows for inflating/deflating the subforums are switched. I just need english and german, and when I want to minimize the frensh section, I have to cllick on a "down" arrow, for rolling it back there's an "up " arrow, but the way this all is shown would let me expect it the other way.

I see the personal messages have also been lost?

Any way to recover those?

Also it seems that once I click on "reply" I get bounced back to the top of the category where this post is. I don't get back to the actual thread, is that intended behaviour?

Try in your forum profile to set "return to topics after posting".

Fixed. (phoenix's "Try in your forum profile to set "return to topics after posting"", reset to everyone)

Unlikely, but... I'll try.

Suggestions:
  • Show at the top of the forum main page the number of new messages/threads, like in the old forum.
  • Place a query for the messages posted on the last 24 hours, near the queries for last messages since last visit.

I like the new color scheme. It looks much more "evil" than the previous forum color scheme, just as amule forums should be ;)

Regards, and thanks for the hard work :)
