Site maintenance

[Hambeast]

The site and forum will be going down for maintenance at midnight. Hopefully shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes. An update will be posted when complete.

[Hambeast]

Done!

Hopefully the site will be a little speedier now

[Hambeast]

The forum will be going down for a short time around midnight for some updates. Shouldn't be more than a couple of minutes.

The update will log everyone out, so anybody who is automatically signed in will need to log in again!

I'll update this post when it's completed.

Update: Done!

[Hambeast]

The forum will be going down for some large updates at 11pm (10 mins from now). Quite a big update so it could be down for an hour or so.

[Hambeast]

Updates complete! The forum now has a slightly different appearance and there will probably be tweaks over the next few days. Let me know if anything is broken.

Looks a bit more streamlined, fair play. I wouldn't be a fan of the big blue & white banner at the bottom of the page but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

[Hambeast]

I wasn't a fan of that either. It's gone now.

Any other feedback is appreciated. Too much blue going on around the place? Buttons/links missing or new functionality getting in the way or not needed?

I'm also not much of a mobile user so I'll probably not pick up on any issues on mobile devices unless they're raised here, although the new update should improve compatibility on mobile in general.

Think it looks good here on mobile. Bit of getting used to but no harm.

Maybe a bit too much colour? The weird green marking the sticky threads, the white window for the quick reply, for example.

[Born of Fire]

Bit of getting used to alright. As Black Shepherd said the white quick reply box is a bit jarring against the black of the main body of the page.

Another minor gripe would be the new post sticker being to the left of the thread title. Far easier to tap on it when it's to the right of the title but maybe that's not something that can be moved easily.

[Hambeast]

I hadn't noticed the horrible turdy-brown colour of stickied threads. Changed it to a darker colour.

Reply box has also been adjusted to match the dark theme.

I'm going to look into dialing down the amount of blue over the place as it's unnecessary and looks like it's trying to highlight things of no importance.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "new post sticker". If you can post a screenshot I'll look into moving things around.

Nice one man 

One other thing missing from before is having the return path links at the bottom as well as at the top of pages within a thread, this yoke:

Metal Warfare - Irish Metal Forum ► Metal Discussion ► Metal Discussion ► Now Playing

Apologies for the huge image, I just put in the link from Imgur! Anyway, see the "new" to the left of the thread titles? On mobile before it used to be to the right of the thread title, just made it easier to tap to the newest post with one hand on mobile, not a big deal if it can't be changed.

Done! You should see it at the bottom of each thread now.

Done! The "new" button is now on the right of the thread title on the thread list page. Also added a max-width to images so large images are resized to fit your screen.
