You've redecorated....

[pierre the shy]

The amendment to "crisps" shows how times have changed.

Busted!

Yes, I have to admit to changing the original Blues Brothers quote a little

We seem to have a new theme

Not sure if this is the finished version, or in transition - but not a fan, its really hard to see the start and end of posts in the Recent Posts list, which is normally where I browse the forum from

It seems to the same when viewing a thread - I think the issue is that the background colour is the same for all posts, whereas before (and other SMF sites) it alternates between two shades to split up posts visually.

This is the default theme now and the one we'll be sticking with going forward, but we can still make tweaks to it I think.  The split lines between posts is something I've passed on to Stewart and he'll take a look at that.  The previous theme may be in your Profile if you want to change back to it, you'll need to go to Look & Layout, then click 'Change Theme' I think, then choose 'Use This Theme' next to the old one (SMF Default is the name).

If folks spot anything else that doesn't look quite right, let me know and we'll get it looked at.

I miss the logo, and agree the current colour scheme makes it difficult to see where posts start and end.

Edit: just changed the theme in the profile - much better.

[Last Hussar]

Can't find 'Change Theme' in the profile - where is it?

[fred.]

Profile
Look and Layout
First button on that screen

The logo had to shrink sadly to fit with the new theme, so it's just a bit smaller and in white now, but does the same job and takes you through to the website.

The webguy has updated that tonight so each post now alternates between a lighter/darker colour.  It works on both the light and dark versions of the theme too.

That is a big improvement. 

Overall look still feels very monochrome, and a bit more white space on the left and right of posts would be no bad thing.

The text is extremely small, hard to read with my ancient eyes.

[fred.]

You can zoom at your end - usually Ctrl + (the plus sign). Some times scroll wheel is setup to zoom with the Ctrl key too.

[fred.]

And I am realising that I had zoomed in without realising - as I just hit Ctrl 0 to go back to standard zoom, and realised just how tiny it is!!

[Leon]

As fred says, Ctrl + is the easy fix on font sizes. 

[Ben Waterhouse]

Not on my IPad...

[fred.]

My iPad is through on the indoor bike - but on my iPhone there are two choices

1) Pinch to zoom
2) tap the 3 bars icon alongside the site name (in the search box) and choose zoom level


I think if you had a keyboard attached Ctrl + would work too

Not vital, but would be nice to see my profile

Nice to see your iPad is getting its exercise.

[Ben Waterhouse]

Thanks all, especially Fred.

[fred.]

It struggles to reach the peddles some of the time

Me, I'd much rather be outside on my bike, than indoors.
