Hello our new forum!

Thanks mandrav for the migration.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

I just view the forum from my phone(through firefox mobile), its layout looks good!

Mine looks the same as in BlueHazzard's screenshot.
I also miss the "10 latest posts" right on the main page... oh well
P.S. In fact, "Recent Posts" tab at the bottom doesn't do anything.

There are also minor glitches, like the missing copyright symbol at the very end of the page or the "doesn’t fit" in the description of the "General but related to Codeblocks" subforum, probably related to encoding.

I like it but I'd like to report that the wiki link, in the main CB page, is no longer working. Not related to the new forum (I guess)....

Moreover in the main forum page the "Recent Post" tab seems not working.

Don't login by entering your credentials into the login overlay box, click on its arrow symbol to get to the login page. On that page you can set your session duration to infinite.

This "fancy" bootstrap-blocky-design is sometimes not that intuitive. And the most annoying fact about that theme, at least the mobile version, didn't check in a desktop browser yet, it doesn't show the latest post of threads in the overview, it shows only the thread starter. Especially annoying if you clicked that checkmark button by accident.

I suspect the logged IPs aren't our actual external IPs (I see 10.x.x.x) so some information forwarding rules are missing...

They weren't before the change, I have a static IP and it was never shown correctly.

The "Most online today" value has also changed dramatically, before it was always around 200 and now is below 10.

EDIT: Looks like it does not count guests correctly, it shows 0 for none and 1 for one or more, so "Most online today" really is "Most users online today + 1 guest".

It seems the current theme has some minor, annoying though, issues.
I will revert the forums to the old theme while we investigate our options/alternatives.

As for the guests counter, it is true, it's a 0-or-1 because of the recorded IP (it's always the same internal IP for guests). We will fix this issue first, and then worry about the theme...

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

As you probably noted already, we switched to the default theme we all know and love ;)
The IP/guest-counter thing has also been fixed.

I know, from time to time a update is needed, but god... i love this compact theme, with all buttons where i know them ;)

Generally, wouldn't it be possible to use a theme switch in the user settings? i have seen some mod on the simplemachines mod directory.

This is a built-in feature, go to "Profile->Modify Profile->Look and Layout" and the first option there allows you to select your theme from the installed ones.

I registered on this forum on March 20, successfully logged in but never posted.

Today, when tried to log in, the forum told me that user PB does not exist. I could successfully register again using the same nick and e-mail. Quite odd.

But importantly, it seems that the registration check needs to be updated, it refused "2022" when asked for the next year, I had to go with "2021".

user with zero posts, strange user names or an origin within IP address ranges known for spamming might be deleted by accident. We are really sorry, if this happens.

And in the News: ticker above:
Accounts with zero posts and zero activity during the last months will be deleted periodically to fight SPAM!
