New forum

[sbando]

I agree. it would make it easier to read and browse.
Let's hear what Nop and F. have to say, remember that Nop has worked really hard to make such a flawless upgrade possible.

I like the new forum. If I have one suggestion its maximize the screen usage (use the full screen like the old forum)

Thanks,

Horndogger

if the forum display could be changed to upscale in fullscreen, than this would be fine with me! But I don't know if that is possible, Nop?

Unfortunately, that's not possible with our current skin, which has a fixed width layout.
So it would mean finding yet another phpBB3 style template...

Better?

Are you all insane?

What's better about pictures that used to be full size, now cut-off with scroll bars?

Take a page, divide it by 3, and use the middle third for images; that's what you have here.

Go back to the old set-up.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Overall, I like the new site, looks good with some good features. I do agree about the picture issues, the old way was better. But I guess it'd be too much hassle to change it all again.

Great job !

The new forum is cool !

Keep the good work !

I do have to agree with the complaints about the picture scroll bars and its a shame there is no way you can tap into the code to widen the forum? Surely if there is access to view the html source it will be somewhere in there!

All complaints aside though, I really do not think that you are going to loose any devoted posters as this is still the number one place to find out, post and discuss euro babes and the euro porn industry!

Well done again on the upgrade, hopefully the minor points can be ironed out or we will all just grow used to it!

It's not religion, people, the format is nice but I do agree that cute and practical are two different things.

Hence, we'll be glad to switch to a different skin, do you have any examples of a better layout?

Because a ton of visitors have a SMALL screen resolution. Ask to noproblemo who has server stats, I'm sure he will tell you the majority of visitors don't have a screen in 1280x800 px but smaller.

In addition phpBB3 respects the board template so that's why images are cut off.

[noproblemo]

Most phpBB skins are derived either from "subsilver2" (phpBB2 classic style) or from "prosilver" (phpBB3 new default style). Here is one style which displays images full size and can stretch to full screen width:

You might not like the icons though

I guess we have to decide which is more important. The overall layout regarding ease of use & aesthetics or how we view uploaded pics.

[Lee]

noproblemo - I prefer the look of what we have here to the one you have shown as an example. But, I do realise the importance of uploaded picture viewing. Would the idea of having a poll on this be OK or not?

[sbando]

The forum works ok and looks nice, as soon as we find a better skin we will switch but don't press Nop because it's fine as it is.

PS, use free image hosts as much as you can, and thumbs everytime you can.

Yeah, that's probably the best way to go.
