Now that I have some time, I need to standardize the forums. I've received a couple of notes, and my question is, what should we go with?
Current:

Suggested concept:

The proposed concept would be a bit more minimalistic and wouldn't require as much scrolling. However, it would break off the forums from the main site navigation bar. What do you think?

Skelly's pelvic bone? Did I miss something?
And what's with the depressing dark blue scheme! Yecch. I cast my eternal vote for vibrant but subdued color schemes. There's my two cents!
-
I use the blue one. Its not depressing. I think the other one is too bright. Anyway, I just link directly to the forums, so if the banner here goes agianst the main site, I don't care.

I hope you're not planning to do away with the SubSilver theme. If I can't read black text on a white background, I'm seriously never comming back to the site.
-
Nah, nothing will be done away with. Each forum will just have the same header displaying site navigation icons or bars.
-
It seems I over-reacted.
With regards to the icons, remember that less is more. I would recommend that you keep the present text headings. The Cross icons are far to busy and are not related to the contents of the different sections.

Seems I did something bad... I was trying out the other themes, and I tryed out the ZurvanNoFrame one, and now, when I try to log onto my account, I get this:
phpBB : Critical Error
Could not open ZurvanNoFrames template config file
DEBUG MODE
Line : 327
File : /home/content/c/c/u/ccuser/html/Forums/includes/functions.php
I'm pretty sure its because that theme doesnt work, or something. But until its at least fixed so the page can load, I'm stuck out of my account...
-
Dang, I thought that one was operative...
There.
-
You borke the Intarweb!
I like the first one better, and I am with J, whats the pelvic bone all about?
-
Thank you much.
-
Just for the record, I'd like very much to know about the Pelvic Bone, too.
-
It's a total joke; no meaning to it.
-
Um... for me the forusm have ALWAYS been broken off from the main site anyway! Wtf.
-
Gah, I just got weaned off the old blue one and now it's a potential candidate for the standard? Figures...
Eh...I could go either way, though I'm starting to prefer this theme more. It seems more professional and easier to read.
-
For the forums... personally, I've been using this 'Classic' background ever since I found out about it, and hardly think I'd change it unless some need pressed me. In fact, I think I only started posting here regularly after I found I could select it - an interesting connection, and a valid one, I think. It reminds me of the Chronicles site: white on dark grey. Morose, sombre, melancholy. Not depressing, though. Just... what did I read the other day? Something about a sad heart being better than a happy one, for wisdom lies in the house of sorrow? Something like that. In Ecclesiasties, my favourite Biblical book. I think there's something too that, and the more sombre mood fits better with serious analysis, and discerning wisdom.

I like the current style...but I like the little icons for the seperate sections in that new one...oh, and is that background for the current ever going to be fixed? The white outline thing of Crono & Co.? It just sorta cuts off for some reason before it gets to any of the boxes or anything...what's up w/that?
