Upgrade the forum to Invision Board

[Panarchy]

Oh, okay. And recently I have been on quite a few of these free forums, and some of them have actually good themes! Maybe you should get a good theme?

Let me know if you like the new theme we have added.

You can switch the theme from the footer to check the new theme we have added.

Umm honestly....horrible. But these sorts of things are very subjective.

Is this in reference with the Hexcell Fluid theme or Hexcell Fixed ?

Which one ?

[kev woodman]

Both actually - it's the colours and the buttons that I don't like.

I'd like to second that. The orange is not very pleasing to my eyes and the buttons and icons are a bit too "sci-fi" for my taste.

And for the text logo on the top, please turn anti-aliasing on

The background pattern is nice.

EDIT: btw, the "main category" seems to be broken.

[Administrator]

Yep. I too don't like the flashing orange but it will get replaced tomorrow.

Main category broke due to new theme. I'll get that sorted tomorrow.

Waiting impatiently for the complete overhaul.

I am quite partial to Cadbury's myself, but Galaxy are ok. Maybe include them in next years Xmas theme?



sry, couldn't resist

No sorry, ignore my last post, I get easily confused, senility.

i have used loads of forum software, for my 2 cents, Vbullitin is the best by far. Looks very professional and simple easy layouts always win the vote for me


ps...a suggestion! I think you should definately make the 'pre-sales forum' open to guests for posting. I took the plunge but many won't. Yes you have other methods of communication with a potential client but most folk won't read all a webpage and those who seek more info will look at a forum if available.

[Administrator]

We cannot open any of our sub forums for guest posts as our existing members know what problems we face regularly due to spams. I'll take your suggestion and open our pre sales forum for guest posts.

Lets see how it works for next few days.

Yeah, I think the same about Vbulletin but still SMF Forums are very powerful, actually the best one for modding etc...
