Forum questions and suggestions directed to Admin
-
Yup. Like all things community, the forum appearance is a compromise! But at least one under our control.
eta: And we need the over 60 crowd to comment.

FYI, right now WTF-Beta uses the "Persona" theme, TNCR uses the "Harmony" theme.
Each individual user gets to choose which "skin" to use -- "skin" large deals with colors.
"Theme" is set for the entire forum -- "theme" deals with layouts.Changing "skin" can be easily done anytime by an individual user.
Changing "theme" needs an admin to select the intended "theme" and then restart the forum software for the new theme to take effect. -
Improbably should play with the skins a bit …
If just makes me think of “it takes the lotion from the basket…”

I've gone thru almost all of them. I'll like a particular one for a while but then find some screen where the contrast or colors don't work for me. And it's so bad that I can't understand how whoever designed it did it that say. Sort of like black text on a black background problem. Or text that washes out.
I'm back to the default skin, which is no skin.

I'm on my android phone and the interface is good, but I wouldn't mind a larger font.
-
I know, old person gripe...
The emojis are kind of small. I wonder if there's another set that has bigger emojis.
Anyone else having trouble seeing them?
-
I like the dark backgrounds like Superhero and Darkly. But quoted text on gray can be hard in the sunshine.

I'm trying Vapor right now. I'm almost exclusively on a laptop or iPad.
-
Well that was short-lived. I've moved on to Sandstone...

I imagine this is not an option, but I wish this forum had a “like” button so you could like posts. They have it at Piano Tell and it’s really nice.
-
Will check it out and get back with more info. Or maybe @Axtremus will see this and will know off the top of his head. I'd be surprised if that feature isn't available.

Here's what is looks like at Piano Tell:

Yes, I think that option to turn on that feature is pretty standard in most modern bulletin board software.
I just talked to @Axtremus and he said he will look at all the open items that have come up when he has a chance, but his schedule is quite full this week. I will try to look around, but my tech skill set is extremely limited and right now I'm mostly here to approve registration requests and to experiment with the site as a user, not an admin. I haven't been active in behind-the-scenes work since 1997. I have a lot of catching up to do and don't want to experiment and end up taking down the whole place.
But at least we know we can do a lot things if we want to!
-
No hurry of course!! I'm just throwing spaghetti, as they say.
-
I would be ok with a slightly larger font. Though I’ll let you know if it’s better on the iPad I’m getting that is larger than this one.
-
Also on iPad and iPhone (or rather in Safari) you can change the font size by clicking in the far left side of the URL bar.
-
Yes, on iPad and iPhone the URL bar font size picker changes the default font size on all your browser windows, which is fine with me.
-
How do we close a chat messages window? I ended up reloading the page and that made it go away.

@Rontuner
Are you on your phone or something else?
