Forum upgrade
« on: December 15, 2011, 07:18:12 pm »

We just finished upgrading from SMF 1.something to 2.0. :) The main reason for this is that it has better anti-spam features, and there are lots of new features.

We also had to redo the BlackIntel theme because the old one did not work with SMF. We hope you like it!

If there is any problem, let us know!

I quite like it :)

But I agree with Trace, the edit-box text-size is quite big...

I think the borders between posts could be bolder!

I miss the quote button (I know the reply button quotes now).
[spam]:+ :+ And with all the blue links, shouldn't we rename the clan to BlueIntel? :+ :+[/spam]

I think the borders between posts could be bolder!
^ That as well. And perhaps in a color that makes them easier to distinguish from the background..?

We'll unass it if you say what we should change. I do agree that the forums (especially the topics list page) is a bit too blue with all those links, if that's what you mean.

As for the post separation, I guess we could make the borders thicker, but as far as the color goes, it is already quite different from the background? black vs gray? Pink would probably be more visible, but I don't think there is a much more distinguishable choice that fits in the theme than black?

I enabled email validation, but I doubt it will help much.
