Hi everyone, we've finished the forum maintenance on the tech side, but there was a small issue with the theme.

We decided that since the forum is fully functional and doing all the new things to go ahead and bring it back up. I'll wait for @Archeia to go over all the specific details of the update.

New theme that isn't so... green will be coming soon as well. That was just going to take a little bit more time.

Can we please also have the old theme back? I don't like dark themes, but I'm also not fond of the purple background. No issues with new layout / structure, I'd just like the old colours :)


Hmmm ... should "latest posts" on the front page actually be "latest threads"? If it's really "latest posts" that's going to churn faster than the status feed.

No link to the web store anymore?

I imagine there will be a thread somewhere where we can post our questions/comments/requests ... this probably isn't the best place.

OK, this is going to take some getting used to... The layout makes me think back of the old forums of '06.

@Shaz You can still change the themes down at the very bottom of the page, on the left (little paint brush icon). This just gives us another option or two.

Yes, I already did that. The RPGMaker Web Forum theme is the light theme, with the purple background. It's not the old forum theme, which I preferred. So I'm hoping we can have that one back as well.

@Shaz considering that I can see your message in "Latest Posts" I think it really shows latest posts instead of latest threads.

I really like having the preview function in the fast reply instead of having to access the reply page just to see a preview.

EDIT
Just a small question: did BB codes stay the same as before the update? In the help section I can see the same codes, but I was wondering whether or not the good old horizontal line is back.

P.S. being able to add inline code is amazing. I always wondered why, even if XenForo has that feature, I was never able to see it implemented here.

We had an entirely different theme that was meant to be used but there was an issue. All the theme issues are temporary. Apologies for that issue, but we felt it was better to get things back up with a temp skin than to leave the forums offline for longer.

I don't know- I kind of like this temp skin.

I'm somewhat indifferent. I kind of like the Steam-looking theme, but the top bar is so bright it's distracting. The circular profile pics are... kinda nice, actually.

Edit: What's with the "reaction score" thing? You can only really react one way.

@Touchfuzzy I definitely approve the choice, however, the theme is not that bad, it looks quite clean. As HexMozart88 said, the light bar at the top is probably the most disturbing thing (mostly because it is light), but I value functionality over aesthetics; a forum with a dark and neat theme that allows us to finally use inline code tags is something I like for sure.

Yeah the green bar at the top is pretty overpowering.

Hey guys, just a head's up that this isn't the final theme. I was late to the party and couldn't handle it ASAP.

Oh no I didn't expect such a big change. Everything looks so uncomfortable now.
Hopefully I'll get used to it quickly. :kaocry:

Woah I wasn't expecting this!
The dark theme is okay except for the extremely light bar at the top. It is quite jarring

Can we have a theme that's similar to the original look of the forums?
Not necessary, but I would love to have that.
I concur. The new look is very modern and sleek, but there's something to be said for the visuals of the old theme.

I can't read any of the text without highlighting it. This is not good, but I have faith that it'll be fixed soon. Edit: nevermind, browser cache issue. It looks really nice now.

Thought I should let you all know the theme colors are acting weird. It's a mix of the temporary theme and dark theme.
Don't know if it is for anyone else, but some text is unreadable until I highlight it.
Oh wait it fixed itself.

I kind of like the green dark theme. It looks pretty awesome honestly ;)

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
