Forum Update - New Theme
Posted: Sat Feb 27, 2016 11:24 am
Our current forum is based on phpBB 3.0.x which is now outdated and longer supported. The current version is phpBB 3.1.x which is easy to update to, but there where major changes in the way that themes/styles are used. All older styles based on 3.0.x (such as our current "0mega" theme) are no longer able to be used on the new version.
I tried converting the old theme, but there were too many broken features, so I decided to start with a similar "dark" theme and modify the colors and images to make it similar but new to our current layout. A cool thing with the new 3.1.x styling is the use of "responsive" web design. Meaning, the page will automatically format properly on mobile devices.
My testing and tweaking is basically complete, and you can visit the beta/test site at the below link:

If you have any comments about the new theme or notice any problems, please let me know. The database for the test forum is an exact copy of the information contained on this forum as of this morning. Any current users can sign and but no new users cannot register, and any new posts made will be just for testing and not copied back to this forum.
