phpBB sucks

Post by Milliterate » Sat Feb 02, 2008 5:35 am

Why arrange the avatars & user info on the right side? where are all the graphic elements that differentiate this from any other board? what the fuck happened to the old board? You all focus on jabbering so much you don't seem to give a damn about aesthetic. Sorry for being visually oriented (on the internet, of all places) but I'm not encouraged to speak when the podium looks like shit.

I’ll also be adapting the messageboard to the old 515 graphics.

I believe the board has always been phpBB. It's just a matter of applying a theme to make it look different. That said, the default layout is pretty awful and counterintuitive.

I agree I hate the new default theme. It's on my to-do list to fix Monday.

It's better.
The orange font color for the topic titles sucks though.

Yeah the orange annoys me a bit too. What color should I change it to?
