Messageboard Theme / Appearance

Post by Admin »

Had hoped to do this sooner but work commitments etc have somewhat got in the way recently.

There is now the option to change the appearance of the message-board to a red theme rather than the standard phpBB Prosilver theme in blue.

If you want to change to the alternative style theme do the following:

1. Click on your username and access the user control panel.
2. Click on Board Preferences.
3. Change "My Board Style" from Prosilver to Metrolike Red. Just selecting Metrolike will give you a pink theme.
4. Refresh the page for change to take effect.

Any comments / feedback appreciated.

I've just tried it and gone back to the blue, it's better how it is.

Cheers, too bright for my obviously sensitive eyes so have gone back to blue to match my moods. The red will please some but won't do much for a hangover....

Same here and the pink is a bit oooer missus.

Thanks for the effort,though.

In the most manly way possible, pink is my favourite colour. Good job.

It is admittedly a bit marmite which is why I left the original theme in place. Am still looking to see if there's any other red themes which don't make your eyes bleed...….

Still, big round of applause for me for managing to insert a logo at the top. My IT skills have been pushed to their outer limits today.

Happy with the board as it is. Change for the sake of change is one of the curses of the age.

Like it.
Think you can turn down the colours by fiddling about with the hex colour codes.

I reckon this one might be a bit better (in red):

You've let me loose with a like/dislike button and I'm not afraid to use it.

I'll be guided by the experiences of ESTEBAN and spen666 as they usually see red when the other one posts.
