Switched the theme

While we're talking about custom CSS, I wrote a stylesheet to make the topic list actually show more than 5 topics on the screen... [link to screenshot that demonstrates how much better it is for me]
It's pretty much the only way I can tolerate using this theme...

Central Avenue

^ How did you do that?

(I was just about to try to work it out myself, but if you've already got it I'll just ask you!)

DYRE

Here's my custom stylesheet (including a couple other things than just that.  That is, visible links and less space in between posts):

div.Message a:link,div.Message a:visited,div.Message a:active{color:gray!important;}
div.Message a:hover{color:black!important;}
a.Title{font-size:14px!important;line-height:16px!important;}
div.Discussion{padding:0px!important;}
div.Meta{font-size:9px!important;line-height:10px!important;}
.Discussions li.Item{margin:0px!important;padding:0px 10px 4px 10px!important;}
.Discussion li.Item{margin:0px!important;}

-piles it onto my "IJBM Tweaks" stylesheet-

Ah, that is better, thanks.

How do I CSS

@Icalasari: Apparently you can't if you're having your forum hosted by vanillaforums.com.  You have to choose from pre-designed skins/schemes, with a small amount of customizability in a few skins.

Also, I'm testing the blue theme again, to see if links show up.

This is what the forums always look like on my Ipod. Well, it's like a mixture of out old theme and this one.

Central Avenue

The Vanilla software is pretty nice, but their default themes suck.

I almost suspect it's intentional, as a way to "encourage" people to subscribe to a paid hosting plan.

Chagen

I'm pretty sure you need a paid plan to have this many members in the first place.

DYRE

^^ That's... possible, actually.

I mean, at the very least, there's no way they could have accidentally made the links completely unnoticeable...  And certainly no way they could have thought that was a good idea.

They even made them a different color from the regular text, but of course, the difference between #333333 and #282828 is... not a lot.

Plus the ridiculous spacing between topics and other silliness...

^ Apparently not.

Central Avenue

And all this because of some impostors. I think the phrase "successful troll is successful" may apply here.


I motion that we switch back to the default theme, and anyone still concerned about serif vs. sans-serif (myself included) can use user CSS.

glennmagusharvey

I'm thinking about that.

For now I'm going to switch back to the light grunge theme since Longfellow seems to prefer that the most of these three.

Tnophelia

Ah, I see.

Can I make more sockpuppets now? They aren't of other users. Also, can you delete accounts? Because I imagine they clutter up the userlist, right?

Longfellow

I'm thinking we could (as someone suggested) return to the old color scheme and just be vigilant about tricky usernames. What do you think, Glenn?

ClockworkUniverse

I'm all for a return. I think I might go ahead and register lNUH in the morning just to be safe..

Anonus

I am, as well. As CA said, "successful troll is successful". Being on the lookout is key.

Bob

Eww.

glennmagusharvey

INUH: You might as well.

Also, for what it's worth, in the font of our classic forum style, the uppercase i is slightlyshorter than the lowercase L, for some reason.  That's one way to tell them apart.

I don't mind a return to the classic forum style, but I don't really mind any of the other styles.

@Tnophelia: I think admins can delete accounts, but I haven't tried it yet.

Central Avenue

It wouldn't be a good idea to delete the impostor accounts anyway. As long as they exist and are banned, they can't be recreated.

Longfellow

That's what I'm doing with Longfeiiow.

Bob

/is suddenly sad that no imposter accounts can derived from "Bob"

Anonus

*is glad that "Anonus" can't be copied convincingly*

Central Avenue

Yay, back to normal! Well then, back to Droid Sans.

(Also, I left all of DYRE's tweaks in my stylesheet, but commented out, in case I should ever need them again.)

Bob

THANK GOD
