Forum changes/ upgrades

I have two computers hooked to the web and the old XP clunker "upstairs" is the coffee grinder LOL. After 25 years of building my own computers with old mother boards, drives, and constantly behind the times operating systems, I finally broke down and for my down stairs shop office I "bought" a fairly new "hardware box" with win 10 OS. The new one is plenty fast for me compared to my old equipment.
My local club's forum only has 1300 lines of code on the home page. And the functionality is limited, that why I was looking at Zenforo
Thanks
Dave

It seems that the file size limit for uploaded pics is less than before. I tried to copy/paste a photo from an old thread and it said the file size was too big.

The upload size has not changed since the upgrade. I will likely be reviewing these parameters in the coming days.

Yes, you should try xenforo

I am using the light version and it’s far kinder on my eyes.

 

[Commando750]

Absolutely light version-one day you too may see the light!

I just switched to light mode and noticed that the country flags are very small and hard to see. Flags seem to stand out better in the dark mode.
Could they be made bigger in light? Thanks anyway, you do a good job on this forum trying to please a bunch of old men.

The flags are fixed for the light theme.

Oooh, the light mode header went from cool blue on the last visit to Altec green this time (lucky I have Altecs).

Is the color user configurable?

Like the different like choices now..

I have redesigned the "For Sale" forum. There are 2 improvements.

This is for all registered users:
1) Now if you add an image to the for sale post, it will appear as a thumb nail at the For Sale forum level. If there is more than one image it takes the first one. Take a look.
2) I have added a sold button top right of For sale thread to make it easier to mark as sold.

Not sure if this is configurable to get all the buttons on the same line, but there is a lot of wasted space here.

BTW like the black better than the green.

Yes, I know about that. I am still working on it. Have a look at the dark theme to see how the header will look on the mobile view in the light theme.

Switched to the light theme for giggles. In the dark format, if you select text it's obviously highlighted. Light format, not so much. For example if I double click on "giggles" above, in dark it's highlighted and on light it's not. In either case, hitting the delete button deletes the entire word as expected. Also in the light theme it's less obvious that you have bold, italic, underline or stike-through selected unless you're typing. In the normal theme the change to the selection button is much more obvious.

Here is the dark theme. Buttons, section headers and trim around Home are green.

 

[gortnipper]

I like how the logo banner is on the dark theme better

Added to list. I can fix this.
