The forum has been upgraded to SMF 2.0
There's a bunch of new settings that I have not go to yet

If you see something goofy, let me know may be a forum setting that I have not found yet

WOW! Nice!

You are really leaving no stone unturned, as if you don't already have the best tube amp forum on the net!

Cool beans!

Just please, no black background.

EL34 · « **Reply #3 on:** April 04, 2014, 07:30:40 pm »

No black

looks very similar to the current forum

The SMF 1.x.x software is getting old

SMF 2.0 has much more support on the SMF forum and more admin controls

See the top post about the new forum settings

Nice! but I kinda wanted to see the column that indicated "post started by". I use that when searching for a not to distant post that I want to tag on to. Of course there might be a better tool for me to accomplish this. Platefire

I LIKE IT! Much easier to read for my old eyes.

Plate, not sure what you mean,
I see post started by under ever post?
see my screen shot

Steve, glad we have spared your eyeballs some agony

Doug, I have one suggestion. I know you kinda have a gray/teal theme to the board. But the teal fonts on the dark gray background are very hard for me to see. Any possibility of something with more contrast? I see the teal fonts fine on the lighter shades of gray. Here's a pic of the combination I have trouble with...

EL34 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 05, 2014, 12:45:13 pm »

I think the teal is a visited link

I think black is a non visited link
What color would be good for a visited link
maybe purple or blue?

sluckey · « **Reply #12 on:** April 05, 2014, 12:52:07 pm »

Yellow really pops on a dark background, but it would suck on the lighter shades of gray. I don't know if there is one color for the link fonts (visited or not visited) that will stand out for a dark and a light bkgnd. Might be easier to experiment with the dark gray backgnd, maybe lighten up a shade or two?

EL34 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 05, 2014, 01:02:37 pm »

I made a non-visited link black
That seems to be a good color for that

Now for a visited link
I have it set on blue, how's that?

Willabe · « **Reply #14 on:** April 05, 2014, 01:43:57 pm »

I like the new look!

Brad

EL34 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 05, 2014, 01:49:26 pm »

yeah, me too

tubenit · « **Reply #16 on:** April 05, 2014, 03:55:08 pm »

I think that is easily the BEST looking forum format on the internet that I have seen! WAAAAAYYYY COOOOOOL !!!!

Plus it seems to be very very easy to read now. Not sure if that is a font change or the color/contrast type change. Whatever it is ....... it works!

Thanks, Jeff

EL34 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2014, 03:59:52 pm »

Thanks Jeff

John · « **Reply #18 on:** April 05, 2014, 05:12:55 pm »

Me likey! Even easier to read than before, and I like the blue up top. On a nonHoffmansite related rant, I don't understand why ANYONE thinks a black background with white text is easy on the eyes. I like this a lot!

Platefire · « **Reply #19 on:** April 05, 2014, 06:26:15 pm »

OK, Doug--see what you mean. It use to be in a separate column and now it the bottom of each post. Thanks, Plate

billcreller · « **Reply #20 on:** April 06, 2014, 01:04:34 pm »

It looks great ! And I want Steve to be able to see it good, so he can bail me out of my screw-ups !

lego4040 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 06, 2014, 08:11:14 pm »

Ahhhh, Much easier to read now and I'm not having the problem I was having before where I had to refresh the page if I went back one page. I couldn't open pages but problem solved. Love it Doug

EL34 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2014, 08:30:06 pm »

Thanks
It does looks good

EL34 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 07, 2014, 04:27:26 pm »

Hit refresh on your browsers
I made some changes to the .css files

You won't see them unless you hit refresh because the files are cached in your browser

Ciao Doug

In the old version of the forum if we link an image in a post (instead to attach it) there was an automatic function which purpose was to resize the image as to fit on the page (and this gives also manual control on the size of the shown image if the post was edited)

I didn't find this feature on the new forum engine, please can you explain if is possible to resize the shown image ?

One other thing, with the new forum engine is possible to have a function to show an image that was downloaded as attachment in a specific raw of the post or it will be always shown on the bottom of the page ?

Many thanks for your attention

Franco

EDIT: I've just seen the solution, the Toggle View function

Sorry, I missed your post.
Looks like you have figured it out

kagliostro · « **Reply #26 on:** April 20, 2014, 05:26:41 pm »

Sorry, I missed your answer till now

Many Thanks

Franco
