Computer Hope Themes
« on: August 22, 2008, 03:14:00 AM »
As some of you have already noticed I've reset everyone to the default Computer Hope theme and removed some of the alternative themes on the site. I'm trying to move towards everyone using the Computer Hope or YaBB classic theme because all changes and new features that have been made in the past and I plan to do in the future are going to be done to the default theme.

If you've used an alternative theme because there is something you don't like in the Computer Hope theme please mention it and I'll do my best to accommodate the default theme to meet your needs.

Hmmm..... Do you want a word document or a text file? Either way, it will be a pretty big file.

Joking. :P


What about the Old ComputerHope Forums? Can we bring that theme back at all?

Post as many recommendations regarding the theme you'd like in this thread. Regarding the old Computer Hope forum theme, the default theme is actually based off that theme. So although it's not identical it's very similiar.

What about a lighter shade of blue for ever second post on a topic? I know when I'm tired, it burns into my eyes.

But overall, the theme is pretty well designed. Off the top of my head, I have no suggestions. (Theme based at least)

Personally, I like the default theme and is what I have always used.  I actually even considered copying it for my own forum...but it's not quite post-apocalyptic enough.  Heh.

Heh. Well if you'd like I'd have no issues with sending you the code.  ;)

Heh, it's alright.  It's a nice calm and friendly theme, but it wouldn't work for my forum.  My forum is tied in to a game of mine and it's going to need a lot of grays and earth tones.

I wondered what had happened when I logged on . . .
Sorry, but I can't stand these colours, and CH doesn't look right to me in the SMF default theme.

Yep, I did say that, in case anyone's wondering....
To be honest it startled me....

Seems to be a problem with the "users and guests on and offline" in boards and topics...

EDIT: All topics and just Off Topic and Forum boards....
