So we've got a new look going on for our forum. That's my doing, ehehe. So...I was messing around with the coding to try and edit that pesky updates section that Spesh figured out and no one else could and did great. Then I made a mistake, I got confident and tried to do more, trying to figure out next how to edit those images at the top to link to staff (moderators and admins and stuff) that never got implemented as planned because Spesh disappeared and no one else knew how to mess with the CSS.
So anyway, I wound up messing up the entire forum and broke it all to the point where it was basically irreparable so...I just found a new theme that was easier to manage and less customized? I like how it turned out, I've spent the better part of an hour trying to tweak it. If anyone has suggestions or comments or would like to ridicule my unfortunate clumsiness, feel free to comment below. Thanks~

The white font makes a bit of stuff hard to see, oh well :c

I can try to change it, that's partly why I made this. Sorry for the inconvenience, dear. What other color would you suggest?

I think white is fine, but maybe up the font size? I'm practically squinting at the forum trying to read things.
Other than that, everything's good! The new banner is cute, too.
edit White on blue for forum text is okay, but the white on grey for the area surrounding our icons needs to be changed, which is probably what drac meant?
editx2 Fiddling around with font size in posts - it looks like font size 1, which is 8pt font, is significantly bigger than the default size. I think most forums have the default size as 12pt.

Ah yes, the white on grey thing is really hard to look at. I don't know how you managed to make yours purple >:{

I just changed my status to see - I don't know about you, but our statuses show up as purple in Elephant's intro thread, whereas they're white in this thread.

Ohmigosh, love you two. Anyway, I get the comments and I'm going to go into the admin panel and try to quickly fix this. But I need to be up super duper early tomorrow and it's past midnight as it is so I actually need to go soon. One quick look and then sleep~ EDIT: Well, I've spent the better part of 16 minutes according to the forum clock trying to figure it out but I really need my sleep. Apparently I've changed a bunch but none of it is the sidebar part I'm looking for. So if anyone comes across Micro-Profiles, Mini-Profiles, Info Centers and/or Site Text changes that recently occured in font or boldness or color and wants it changed back, I can do my best to figure it all out again tomorrow after work. orz

Just going to go ahead and double post here because it's been a bit since I last updated and want to make sure everyone is aware but I found a way to change not the text for the sidebar user profiles but the actual boxes themselves and I think I changed a few other things as well. It seems to alternate (not fixed for each user but rather a pattern of every other) and so do the actual texts for the responses. Tell me if you like this new change or if it's too disorienting and I can try to fix it or leave it be~

Nah, I'm good with the every-other distinction. It's nice having something to break up the solid wall of blue.
I hate to be That Person, but...I'd appreciate (eventually, of course, so there's no hurry) an increase in text size for the sidebar text as well. The sidebar font is even smaller than the post font. ;n;

Okay, I'll work on that as soon as I can find the time. Now that I located the features for coloring, the font size shouldn't be more than a few lines below that in the coding. I just didn't bother to check but I'll get to it when I have time and update probably tomorrow about it~ Sound good? Anything else anyone was looking for in a theme that we don't currently have?
