Glest Board Changes

[tucho]

Great work with the forum theme, congrats Omega

Yeah and there is still that bug, where you click a topic, for example, this topic, and then you are supposed to get the the "newest" post right? you don't, for example, it went to the 11th page of this topic...

Yup, it's sent me to the 11th page the last half-dozen or so times.

It just sent me to this post...: https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=5149.msg45784#msg45784

I agree, still, we need the SMF Original Blue Theme...though. 

[titi]

Is this fixed now? Newer posts work for me, just the one ultifd made doesn't work !

[Omega]

I think the old theme is broken. Its an option, but not working atm. I'll reupload, though not sure whats the big deal .

This is not - I repeat, NOT - caused by the theme. This is a database problem and may or may not be fixed by now (Titi states it as so, but Ultifd's link will ALWAYS point to the same post, not a new topic because it is a link to a post, not a new topic).

Make the links a nice solid blue or something, that would be great.

You are a pain in my [Censored because you're underage]. Take a good look at the difference between 'Not a Link' and 'A Link'. If you can't obviously notice the color change, either:
1. Get glasses. Contact your nearest eye doctor today!
2. A monitor brightness of 25% doesn't help much. Turn it back up to 100%.

That's not the right way, to help the users of the board :'(

Eh, I knew you would say that, but eh, next time, check before you post. I didn't see you talking about the link problem though, since someone was...

Put it as spoiler... 
But uh...

My monitor is nice and bright, but I want it to be unmistakable.

[John.d.h]

I've kinda gotta agree with Arch on this.  The higher the contrast (without getting ugly), the better.

How about a nice light blue like #88f?  It doesn't clash with the rest of the style, and it makes it a bit more clear that it's a link.

[-Archmage-]

How about #2554C7?

[ultifd]

I like #88f better, I think it fits the theme...uh...better. 
But uh...I don't think Omega is going to change it anyways. 

[John.d.h]

I think the darker color kinda hurts the eyeballs a bit.  It just doesn't contrast enough from the background IMO.

[-Archmage-]

Then how about #2B65EC?

Or maybe #306EFF?

[ElimiNator]

I like #88f better, I think it fits the theme...uh...better.

This one I think but a little more blue.

[-Archmage-]

Did you see the ones I just posted?

[Omega]

#67E

#88D

#27F

Opinions? DO bear in mind that almost every link is changed, not just in posts, including stuff like the [more] button for smilies, the insert quote link when posting, etc; Please think about what you are asking then reply wether or not you want blue links.

But uh...I don't think Omega is going to change it anyways. 

I'll change it once you consider it and enough people vote on it. Then I'll post a picture and show just what you asked for (tried something similar once and it scared me) before I consider uploading it.

In other news, I uploaded the old 'default' and named it SMFBlue. You can use it from your profile. I tested it and it works fine. Of course, it is totally inferior to my awesome glest theme, but...

Don't know. I think blue does not really fit...with...this theme anyways.

Cool, tested, and now it is actually there.  I know at least a few people will change.  Not me though.

K, although I am already fine with the color of the links now... 

Thanks. 

[-Archmage-]

I'm for #27.
It's a nice blue that stands out good.

[John.d.h]

The only one that looks good on my monitor at all brightness levels is #88D.  #27F is uncomfortable on the eyes at lower brightnesses (dark font on dark background), and #67E is a little grayish for my tastes, but I could live with it.

[ElimiNator]

I like #88D best

[titi]

why blue? It doesn't really fit to the layout in my opinion. Why not gold/yellow ?

Link color:
this is the link color #a91

Mouse over link color
this is the link color #db2

[Omega]

Yay!

K, although I am already fine with the color of the links now... 

That more what I wanted to hear.

Titi does have a point though. If the link colors were to be changed, gold is superior to blue, since there's lots of gold in the glest logo, but NO blue ANYWHERE on this entire page.

[John.d.h]

I guess I'm so used to seeing blue links that gold didn't even occur to me, but that probably would be a better choice.

[ultifd]

I agree, gold/yellow is cool and better...and yeah I thought blue because links are  originally/usually blue. 

[Omega]

Links are 'normally' blue because it is the default color when it is not defined in the stylesheets. Other defaults are the red when active and the purple when visited, and normally no change when hovering. I almost always change it, since blue is generally not a good color for darker themes like this. I'll experiment with gold and show you a picture. Other colors that tend to work well are orange, which is my most used hover color (along with underlining).

I'll try and make tonight and show a picture of different pages to see how it looks.
